A mass spectrometer applies a voltage of 2.00 kV to accelerate a singly charged positive ion. A magnetic field of B = 0.400 T th
N76 [4]

The mass of the ion is 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

The electrical energy given to the ion Vq will be changed into kinetic energy \frac{1}{2}mv^2

As the ion moves with velocity v in a magnetic field B then the magnetic Lorentz force Bqv will be balanced by centrifugal force \frac{mv^2}{r}.

So,

Vq = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

and

Bqv = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Right from these eliminating v, we can derive

m = \frac{B^2r^2q}{2V}

On substituting the value, we get:

m = \frac{(0.4)^2X (0.305)^2 X1.602X 10^-^1^9}{2X 2000}\\\\

m = 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg.

Newton’s second law of motion states that when a force acts on an object, the object’s acceleration is equal to _____.
MatroZZZ [7]

Newton’s second law of motion states that when a force acts on an object, the object’s acceleration is equal to the net force divided by the object’s mass, and is in the same direction as the net force.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Here, he is able both to share his own suffering and—in a way that Mammy cannot—insist on his love for Laila. Babi's dream for leaving Afghanistan is, ironically, based in his love for the country—a love he thinks can be better kept alive by continuing to celebrate its culture and cuisine abroad.JThe nucleus of some isotopes will spontaneously undergo nuclear decay. These isotopes are said to be radioactive. What causes the nucleus of an isotope to be radioactive?

The electric force and nuclear forces are in opposition to each other

Nuclear forces disintegrate protons

There are too many electrons in its orbitals

The electric force causes electrons to be released

(please help i genuinely cant find out why)Babi had wanted Laila and Tariq to understand their country's living, breathing heritage—a heritage quite apart from the violence and turmoil of the national wars. The Buddhas, testimony to an ancient community of monks that lived in caves within the cliffs, symbolize the cultural richness of this national heritageAs an unstable atom tries to reach a stable form, energy and matter are released from the nucleus. This spontaneous change in the nucleus is called radioactive decay. When there is a change in the nucleus and one element changes into another, it is called transmutation.Carbon-14 is unstable and undergoes radioactive decay with a half-life of about 5,730 years (meaning that half of the material will be gone after 5,730 years). This decay means the amount of carbon-14 in an object serves as a clock, showing the object's age in a process called “carbon dating.”Nuclear decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom is unstable and spontaneously emits energy in the form of radiation. The result is that the nucleus changes into the nucleus of one or more other elements. These daughter nuclei have a lower mass and are more stable (lower in energy) than the parent nucleus.

Which physical property is used to test the purity of metal ?
dimulka [17.4K]

The physical and chemical properties of metal can differ between the elements but if we try and generalize.


Physical properties are that they are hard, dense, shiny, malleable (can be bent), ductile (can be pulled into wires), a good conductor of heat and have high melting points meaning that they are solid at room temperature


Their chemical properties include being good electrical conductors, they make metallic bonds (ionic bonds with non-metals) and their atoms are arranged in a lattice. They release hydrogen when reacted with acids and are usually cations (positive ions).
