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

A 0.5 kg stone is raised from 1m to 2m height from the ground. what is the change in potential energy of the stone?
Usimov [2.4K]

Given: The mass of stone (m) = 0.5 kg

Raised from heights (h₁) = 1.0 m to (h₂) = 2.0 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

To find: The change in potential energy of the stone

Formula: The potential energy (P) = mgh

where, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.

Now, we shall calculate the change in potential energy of the stone

Δ P = P₂ - P₁ = mg (h₂ - h₁)

or,                = 0.5 kg ×9.8 m/s² ×(2.0 m - 1.0 m)

or,                = 4.9 J

Hence, the required change in the potential energy of the stone will be 4.9 J

One horsepower (hp) is the amount of power required to lift a 75-kg mass a vertical distance of 1 m in 1 s. What is 2 hp equival
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

1470 W

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is used up. The S.I unit of power is Watt (W).

The expression for power is given as,

P = Energy/time

P = mgh/t ...................... Equation 1

Where P = power, m = mass, h = height, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 75 kg, g =9.8 m/s², h = 1 m, t = 1 s.

Substitute into equation 1

P = (75×1×9.8)/1

P = 735 W.

From the above,

1 hp = 735 W

2 hp = (2×735) W

2 hp = 1470 W.

Hence 2 hp = 1470 W
