What is the acceleration of a proton moving with a speed of 6.5 m/s at right angles to a magnetic field of 1.8 t ?

The magnetic force acting on the proton is 
F=qvB \sin \theta
where
q is the proton charge
v is its speed
B is the intensity of the magnetic field
\theta is the angle between the direction of v and B; since the proton is moving perpendicular to the magnetic field, \theta=90^{\circ} and \sin \theta=1, so the force becomes
F=qvB

this force provides the centripetal force that keeps the proton in circular motion:
m \frac{v^2}{r} = q v B
where the term on the left is the centripetal force, with
m being the mass of the proton
r the radius of its orbit

Re-arranging the previous equation, we can find the radius of the proton's orbit:
r= \frac{mv}{qB}= \frac{(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg)(6.5 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C)(1.8 T)}=3.77 \cdot 10^{-8}m

And now we can calculate the centripetal acceleration of the proton, which is given by
a_c =  \frac{v^2}{r}= \frac{(6.5 m/s)^2}{3.77\cdot 10^{-8}m}=1.12 \cdot 10^9 m/s^2

ryzh [129]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. The earth about its axis:

The earth makes one revolution in 24 hours. to know the number of revolutions per second it makes, we need to convert hours to seconds and the revolution to rad.

\frac{1 rev}{24hours}\times \frac{1 hr}{3600s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 7.27 \times10^-5 rad/s

B. The minute hand of the clock makes one revolution in 60 minutes

To convert this to rad per second, we have

\frac{1 rev}{60mins}\times \frac{1 min}{60s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 1.745 \times10^-3rad/s

C. The hour hand of  a clock completes one revolution in 12 hours

\frac{1 rev}{12hours}\times \frac{1 hr}{3600s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 1.454 \times10^-4 rad/s

D. an egg beater turning at 300 rpm.

\frac{300 rev}{1minute}\times \frac{1 min}{60s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 7.27 \times10^-5 rad/s=0.0218rad/s
