Answer:

16.5 m

Explanation:

Given,

Magnetic field = 0.02 T

radius of electron = 9 mm

speed of electron = speed of proton

radius of proton = ?

We know,

$F_e = q_e vB$ .........(1)

$F_p = q_p vB$

using newton second law

$F = m a = m\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

equating Force due to electron and proton

$F_e = F_p$

$\dfrac{m_ev^2}{r_e}=\dfrac{m_pv^2}{r_p}$

$\dfrac{m_e}{r_e} = \dfrac{m_p}{r_p}$

m_ e = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ Kg and m_p = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg

$r_p = \dfrac{m_p}{m_e}\times r_e$

$r_p = \dfrac{1.67\times 10^{-27}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}\times 9 \times 10^{-3}$

$r_p = 16.5 m$

Hence, the radius of proton is equal to 16.5 m.

Two satellites, A and B are in different circular orbits

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The ratio of the orbital time periods of A and B is $\frac{1}{2}$

Solution:

As per the question:

The orbit of the two satellites is circular

Also,

Orbital speed of A is 2 times the orbital speed of B

$v_{oA} = 2v_{oB}$ (1)

Now, we know that the orbital speed of a satellite for circular orbits is given by:

$v_{o} = \farc{2\piR}{T}$

where

R = Radius of the orbit

Now,

For satellite A:

$v_{oA} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{a}}$

Using eqn (1):

$2v_{oB} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{a}}$ (2)

For satellite B:

$v_{oB} = \farc{2\piR}{T_{b}}$ (3)

Now, comparing eqn (2) and eqn (3):

$\frac{T_{a}}{T_{b}} = \farc{1}{2}$

Answer:

very small solid particles called interstellar dust.

Explanation:

In the space between the stars there is gas and dust, which represent at least 20% of the mass of our galaxy. In the Milky Way it is considered that there is a gas density of approximately 0.2 to 0.5 atoms / cm3 in the surroundings of the Sun; with respect to the dust an average of 1 g / cm3 is estimated.

Gas is about atoms and molecules, mainly hydrogen; In order of abundance, helium, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and iron follow. On the other hand, the dust is tiny particles, generally smaller than 10 microns; the dust does not shine and therefore it is only distinguished when it is projected on bright regions (nebulae or clusters).

Interstellar matter is mainly concentrated towards the plane of the galaxy, in the strip corresponding to the Milky Way; there you can see bright nebulas of diffuse character called nebulas. These nebulae are classified according to three types: (a) bright or emission nebulae, (b) reflection nebulae and (c) planetary nebulae.

Hydrogen appears both ionized and neutral; The bright nebulae are composed of ionized hydrogen and other ionized elements. Non-ionized (neutral) hydrogen is found in the spiral arms of the Milky Way and can be detected through radio waves.

A 4 cm diameter "bobber" with a mass of 3 grams floats on a pond. A thin, light fishing line is tied to the bottom of the bobber

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculate the volume of the lead

$V=\frac{m}{d}\\\\=\frac{10g}{11.3g'cm^3}$

Now calculate the bouyant force acting on the lead

$F_L = Vpg$

$F_L=(\frac{10g}{11.3g/cm^3} )(1g/cm^3)(9.8m/s^2)\\\\=8.673\times 10^{-3}N$

This force will act in upward direction

Gravitational force on the lead due to its mass will act in downward direction

Hence the difference of this two force

$T=mg-F_L\\\\=(10\times10^{-3}kg(9.8m/s^2)-8.673\times 10^{-3}\\\\=8.933\times10^{-3}N$

If V is the volume submerged in the water then bouyant force on the bobber is

$F_B=V'pg$

Equate bouyant force with the tension and gravitational force

$F_B=T_mg\\\\V'pg=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg} \\\\V'=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg}$

Now Total volume of bobble is

$\frac{V'}{V^B} =\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+Mg}{pg} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 }\times100\\\\=\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+(3)(9.8)}{(1000)(9.8)} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi (4.0\times10^{-2})^3 }\times100\\\\$

= $\large\boxed{4.52 \%}$
