An alpha particle (the nucleus of a helium atom) consists of two protons and two neutrons, and has a mass of 6.64 * 10-27 kg. A

horizontal beam of alpha particles is injected with a speed of 1.3 * 105 m>s into a region with a vertical magnetic field of magnitude 0.155 T. (a) How much time does it take for an alpha particle to move halfway through a complete circle

Answer:

t = 4.21x10⁻⁷ s

Explanation:

The time (t) can be found using the angular velocity (ω):

\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}

<em>Where θ: is the angular displacement = π (since it moves halfway through a complete circle)</em>

We have:

t = \frac{\theta}{\omega} = \frac{\theta}{v/r}  

<u>Where</u>:      

<em>v: is the tangential speed </em>

<em>r: is the radius</em>

The radius can be found equaling the magnetic force with the centripetal force:

qvB = \frac{mv^{2}}{r} \rightarrow r = \frac{mv}{qB}

Where:

m: is the mass of the alpha particle = 6.64x10⁻²⁷ kg

q: is the charge of the alpha particle = 2*p (proton) = 2*1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

B: is the magnetic field = 0.155 T

Hence, the time is:

t = \frac{\theta*r}{v} = \frac{\theta}{v}*\frac{mv}{qB} = \frac{\theta m}{qB} = \frac{\pi * 6.64 \cdot 10^{-27} kg}{2*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*0.155 T} = 4.21 \cdot 10^{-7} s

Therefore, the time that takes for an alpha particle to move halfway through a complete circle is 4.21x10⁻⁷ s.

I hope it helps you!

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
Len [333]
The relationship between the frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the equation:

v=λf, where v is the velocity of the wave, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency. 

If we divide the equation by f we get:

λ=v/f

From here we see that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. So as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases. 

So the second statement is true: As the frequency of a wave increases, the shorter the wavelength is.

Because white dwarfs are small, as their name implies, they are hard to see. What is a way astronomers have to find white dwarfs
Bumek [7]

Astronomers find white dwarfs that distinguish them from main sequence stars because white dwarfs get really hot, we can search for their ultraviolet radiation.

<h3>What is a white dwarf?</h3>

A white dwarf is a very hot star that radiated much energy in the form of ultraviolet radiation.

This UV radiation is initially very bright and then these stars become red with time.

In conclusion, Astronomers find white dwarfs they can search for their ultraviolet radiation.

2. What biotic and abiotic factors might influence the wolf and moose population numbers? List 1 biotic factors 1 abiotic factor
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Abiotic - sun Biotic- Plants

Water supply, climate, shape of the land, vegetation, soils and availability of natural resources.

Explanation:

Abiotic means non living so the sun is non living. The sun gives us warmth and the ability to survive

Biotic means alive or living- plants are living and give off oxygen and take in carbon to help us live  umm ok
