Answer:
Explanation:
Given that.
Force acting on the particle,
Position of the particle,
To find,
(a) Torque on the particle about the origin.
(b) The angle between the directions of r and F
Solution,
(a) Torque acting on the particle is a scalar quantity. It is given by the cross product of force and position. It is given by :
So, the torque on the particle about the origin is (32 N-m).
(b) Magnitude of r,
Magnitude of F,
Using dot product formula,
Therefore, this is the required solution.
Answer:
3.28 cm
Explanation:
To solve this problem, you need to know that a magnetic field B perpendicular to the movement of a proton that moves at a velocity v will cause a Force F experimented by the particle that is orthogonal to both the velocity and the magnetic Field. When a particle experiments a Force orthogonal to its velocity, the path it will follow will be circular. The radius of said circle can be calculated using the expression:
r =
Where m is the mass of the particle, v is its velocity, q is its charge and B is the magnitude of the magnetic field.
The mass and charge of a proton are:
m = 1.67 * 10^-27 kg
q = 1.6 * 10^-19 C
So, we get that the radius r will be:
r = = 0.0328 m, or 3.28 cm.
