Answer:

16 cm

Explanation:

For protons:

Energy, E = 300 keV

radius of orbit, r1 = 16 cm

the relation for the energy and velocity is given by

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

So, v = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}   .... (1)

Now,

r = \frac{mv}{Bq}

Substitute the value of v from equation (1), we get

r = \frac{\sqrt{2mE}}{Bq}

Let the radius of the alpha particle is r2.

For proton

So, r_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{2m_{1}E}}{Bq_{1}}    ... (2)

Where, m1 is the mass of proton, q1 is the charge of proton

For alpha particle

So, r_{2} = \frac{\sqrt{2m_{2}E}}{Bq_{2}}    ... (3)

Where, m2 is the mass of alpha particle, q2 is the charge of alpha particle

Divide equation (2) by equation (3), we get

\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{q_{2}}{q_{1}}\times \sqrt{\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}}

q1 = q

q2 = 2q

m1 = m

m2 = 4m

By substituting the values

\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{2q}}{q}}\times \sqrt{\frac{m}}{4m}}=1

So, r2 = r1 = 16 cm

Thus, the radius of the alpha particle is 16 cm.

Answer:15.95 cm

Explanation:

Given

Energy=300 kev

radius of Proton=16 cm

mass of alpha particle=6.64\times 10^{-27} kg

mass of proton=1.67\times 10^{-27} kg

charge on alpha particle is twice of proton

radius of Proton is given by

r=\frac{mv}{|q|B}

and Kinetic energy K=\frac{P^2}{2m}

where P=momentum

P=\sqrt{2Km}

r=\frac{\sqrt{2km}}{qB}---1

Radius for Alpha particle is

r_{alpha}=\frac{\sqrt{2k\cdot m_{alpha}}}{2qB}-----2

Divide 1 & 2 we get

\frac{r}{r_{alpha}}=\frac{\sqrt{m}}{q}\times \frac{2q}{\sqrt{m_{alpha}}}

r_{alpha}=\sqrt{\frac{6.64\times 10^{-27}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}}\times 0.5

r_{alpha}=0.997\times 16

r_{alpha}=15.95 cm

Examples of fixed pulley?​
Neko [114]

Answer:

One example of a fixed pulley is a Flag Pole

Explanation:

A good example of a fixed pulley is a flag pole: When you pull down on the rope, the direction of force is redirected by the pulley, and you raise the flag. Other examples of movable pulleys include construction cranes, modern elevators, and some types of weight lifting machines at the gym.
