Answer:

1.92 x 10⁻¹²J

Explanation:

The magnetic force from the magnetic field gives the circulating protons gives the particle the necessary centripetal acceleration to keep it orbiting round the circular path. And from Newton's second law of motion, the force(F) is equal to the product of the mass(m) of the proton and the centripetal acceleration(a). i.e

F = ma

Where;

a = \frac{v^2}{r}             [v = linear velocity, r = radius of circular path]

=> F = m\frac{v^2}{r}           ------------(i)

We also know that the magnitude of this magnetic force experienced by the moving charge (proton) in a magnetic field is given by;

F = q v B sin θ       ----------(ii)

Where;

q = charge of the particle

v = velocity of the particle

B = magnetic field

θ = the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field.

Combining equations (i) and (ii) gives

m\frac{v^2}{r} = q v B sin θ           [θ = 90° since the proton is orbiting at the maximum orbital radius]

=> m\frac{v^2}{r} = q v B sin 90°

=> m\frac{v^2}{r} = q v B

Divide both side by v;

=> m\frac{v}{r} = qB

Make v subject of the formula

v = \frac{qBr}{m}

From the question;

B = 1.25T

m = mass of proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg

r = 0.40m

q = charge of a proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C

Substitute these values into equation(iii) as follows;

v = \frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(1.25)(0.4)}{(1.67*10^{-27})}

v = 4.79 x 10⁷m/s

Now, the kinetic energy, K, is given by;

K = \frac{1}{2}mv²

m = mass of proton

v = velocity of the proton as calculated above

K = \frac{1}{2}(1.67*10^{-27} * (4.79 * 10^7)^2 )

K = 1.92 x 10⁻¹²J

The kinetic energy is 1.92 x 10⁻¹²J

Describe the difference between a soil horizon and a soil profile
mario62 [17]

Soil profile includes all the sections/ horizons of the vertical soil depth from top to bottom including the transitions from one horizon to another. A soil horizon is a distinct layer/section of soil with more or less the same texture. Therefore, a soil profile is made of soil horizons.

A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.95 m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of a
Aleks [24]

volume of balloon

= 4/3 T R3

= 4/3 x 3.14 x 6.953

= 1405.47 m3

uplift force

= volume of balloon x density of air x 9.8

= = 1405.47 x 1.29 x 9.8

= 1813.05 x 9.8 N

weight of helium gas

= volume of balloon x density of helium x

9.8

= 1405.47 x .179 x 9.8

= 251.58 x 9.8 N

Weight of other mass = 930 x 9.8 N Total weight acting downwards

= 251.58 x 9.8 +930 x 9.8

= 1181.58 x 9.8 N

If W be extra weight the uplift can balance

1181.58 × 9.8 + W × 9.8 = 1813.05 * 9.8

1181.58+W=1813.05

W= 631.47 kg
