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.
Total momentum after the collision: +200 kg m/s to the right
Explanation:
We can answer this question by using the law of conservation of momentum, which states that for an isolated system (=no external forces acting on the system), the total momentum is conserved.
Mathematically,
where
is the total momentum before the collision
is the total momentum after the collision
In this problem, the system consists of two hockey players. Before the collision, their total momentum is
(to the right)
Therefore, according to the law of conservation of momentum, their total momentum after the collision must be the same:
And given that the sign is +, the direction is still the same, therefore to the right.
