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

What direction does current flow from a battery in a series circuit?
telo118 [61]
What's now called "Conventional current" is thought of as the flow of positive charge, from the battery's positive terminal to its negative one.

But it turns out that positive charges don't flow. The physical flow of charge is the flow of electrons. They come out of the battery's negative terminal, and carry negative charge around the circuit to the battery's positive one.

What is the frequency of radiation emitted by a photon of light if the energy released during its transition to ground state is
miskamm [114]
If i was feeling harsh today, I'd say the answer to your question is impossible to obtain due to the fact that photons do not emit radiation, photons ARE the radiation emitted. Though for the sake of it, here is the method...

<u>The simple method:
</u>

E=hf

therefore f=e/h

f=(3.611x10^-15) / 6.63x10^-34)

Hi, I need some science help ASAP. Here's the question:
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Mass of the box is 25kg

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion

Force= mass. acceleration

With the symbol

F=m.a

m=F/a      m=(50N)/(2m/s²)

                m=25kg
