Answer:

(a) 3.9cm

(b) 1.66 x 10⁻⁸s

Explanation:

Since the electron is moving in a circular path, the centripetal acceleration needed to keep it from slipping off is provided by the magnetic force. This force (F), according to Newton's second law of motion is given by,

F = m x a          --------------(i)

Where;

m = mass of the particle

a = acceleration of the mass

The centripetal acceleration is given by;

a = v² / r          [v = linear velocity of particle, r = radius of circular path]

<em>Therefore, equation (i) becomes;</em>

F = m v²/ r             --------------------(ii)

The magnitude of the magnetic force on a moving charge in a magnetic field as stated by Lorentz's law is given by;

F = qvBsinθ          -------------(iii)

Where;

q = charge of the particle

v = velocity of the particle

B = magnetic field

θ = angle between the velocity and the magnetic field

<em>Combine equations (ii) and (iii) as follows;</em>

m (v² / r) = qvBsinθ         [divide both side by v]

m v / r = qBsinθ              [make r subject of the formula]

r = (m v) / (qBsinθ)              ---------(iv)

(a) From the question;

v = 1.48 x 10⁷m/s

B = 2.14mT = 2.14 x 10⁻³T

θ = 90°          [since the direction of velocity is perpendicular to magnetic field]

m = mass of electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹kg

q = charge of electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C

Substitute these values into equation (iv) as follows;

r = (9.11 x 10⁻³¹ x 1.48 x 10⁷) / (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 2.14 x 10⁻³ sin 90°)

r = 3.9 x 10⁻²m

r = 3.9cm

Therefore, the radius of the circular path is 3.9cm

(b) The time interval required to complete one revolution is the period (T) of the motion of the electron and it is given by

T = d / v          --------------(*)

Where;

d = distance traveled in the circular path in one complete turn = 2πr

v = velocity of the motion = 1.48 x 10⁷m/s

d = 2 π (3.9 x 10⁻²)            [Take π = 22/7 = 3.142]

d = 2(3.142)(3.9 x 10⁻²) = 0.245m

Substitute the values of d and v into equation (*) as follows;

T = 0.245 / 1.48 x 10⁷

T = 0.166 x 10⁻⁷s

T = 1.66 x 10⁻⁸s

Therefore, the time interval is 1.66 x 10⁻⁸s

Three resistors connected in series have potential differences across them labeled /\V1 , /\V2 , and /\V3. What expresses the po
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

\Delta V=\Delta V_1+\Delta V_2+\Delta V_3

Explanation:

We are given that three resistors R1, R2 and R3 are connected in series.

Let

Potential difference across R_1=\Delta V_1

Potential difference across R_2=\Delta V_2

Potential difference across R_3=\Delta V_3

We know that in series  combination

Potential difference ,V=V_1+V_2+V_3

Using the formula

\Delta V=\Delta V_1+\Delta V_2+\Delta V_3

Hence, this is required expression for potential difference.

During a race, a runner runs at a speed of 6 m/s. 2 seconds later, she is running at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the runner’s acc
igor_vitrenko [27]
Remember what acceleration is? It's how fast the speed is changing over a period of time.

a =  \frac{dv}{dt}

So in dt = 2 secs, she sped up from 6 to 10 m/s and so dv = (10-6) m/s.

Now that you know dv and dt, you can calculate the acceleration a!

g A wheel of diameter 8.0 cm has a cord of length 6.0 m wound around its periphery. Starting from rest, the wheel is given a con
sveticcg [70]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the description of the tangential and angular movement.

The displacement where the speed and acceleration is related is given by the equation:

x = v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Where

v_0 = Initial velocity (0 because start from rest)

t = time

a = Acceleration

We have angular acceleration but not tangential acceleration. Tangential acceleration can be obtained through the relationship

a = r\alpha \rightarrow r = \frac{diameter}{2}

a = \frac{0.08}{2}(3)

a = 0.12m/s^2

And we have also that the displacement is

x = 6m

Now replacing,

x = v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2

6 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2}(0.12)t^2

6 = \frac{1}{2}(0.12)t^2

t = 10s

Therefore will take the cord to unwind around 10s
