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!

Suppose that a balloon is being filled with air at a rate of 10 cm3/s. (Assume that theballoon is a perfect sphere.) At what rat

Basile [38]

Answer:

Therefore the surface area of the balloon is increased at 4 cm³/s.

Explanation:

The balloon is being filled with air at a rate of 10 cm³/s

It means the volume of the balloon is increased at a rate 10 cm³/s.

i.e $\frac{dv}{dt} =10 cm^3/s$

Consider r be the radius of the balloon.

The volume of of a sphere is

$v=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

Differentiate with respect to t

$\frac{dv}{dt} =\frac{4}{3} \pi \times 3r^2\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow 10 =4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{10}{4\pi r^2}$

The surface of area of the balloon is(S) = $4\pi r^2$

$S=4\pi r^2$

Differentiate with respect to t

$\frac{dS}{dt} =4\pi\times2r\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =8\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}$

Putting the value of $\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =8\pi r\times\frac{10}{4\pi r^2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =\frac{20}{ r}$

Given that r = 5 cm

$[\frac{dS}{dt}]_{r=5} =\frac{20}{ 5}$ =4 cm³/s

Therefore the surface area of the balloon is increased at 4 cm³/s.

A long, hollow, cylindrical conductor (inner radius 3.4 mm, outer radius 7.3 mm) carries a current of 36 A distributed uniformly

Elden [556K]

Answer:

a. $B= 9.45 \times10^{-3} T$

b. $B= 0.820 T$

c. $B= 0.0584 T$

Explanation:

First, look at the picture to understand the problem before to solve it.

a. d1 = 1.1 mm

Here, the point is located inside the cilinder, just between the wire and the inner layer of the conductor. Therefore, we only consider the wire's current to calculate the magnetic field as follows:

To solve the equations we have to convert all units to those of the international system. (mm→m)

$B=\frac{u_{0}I_{w}}{2\pi d_{1}} =\frac{52 \times4\pi \times10^{-7} }{2\pi 1.1 \times 10^{-3}} =9.45 \times10^{-3} T\\$

μ0 is the constant of proportionality

μ0=4πX10^-7 N*s2/c^2

b. d2=3.6 mm

Here, the point is located in the surface of the cilinder. Therefore, we have to consider the current density of the conductor to calculate the magnetic field as follows:

J: current density

c: outer radius

b: inner radius

The cilinder's current is negative, as it goes on opposite direction than the wire's current.

$J= \frac {-I_{c}}{\pi(c^{2}-b^{2} ) }}$

$J=\frac{-36}{\pi(5.33\times10^{-5}-1.16\times10^{-5}) } =-274.80\times10^{3} A/m^{2}$

$B=\frac{u_{0}(I_{w}-JA_{s})}{2\pi d_{2} } \\A_{s}=\pi (d_{2}^{2}-b^2)=4.40\times10^{-6} m^2\\$

$B=\frac{6.68\times10^{-5}}{8.14\times10^{-5}} =0.820 T$

c. d3=7.4 mm

Here, the point is located out of the cilinder. Therefore, we have to consider both, the conductor's current and the wire's current as follows:

$B=\frac{u_{0}(I_w-I_c)}{2\pi d_3 } =\frac{2.011\times10^-5}{3.441\times10^{-4}} =0.0584 T$

As we see, the magnitud of the magnetic field is greater inside the conductor, because of the density of current and the material's nature.

A subway train accelerates from rest at one station at a rate of 1.30 m/s^2 for half of the distance to the next station, then d

Minchanka [31]

This problems a perfect application for this acceleration formula:

   Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)² .

During the speeding-up half:   1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²
During the slowing-down half: 1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²

Pick either half, and divide each side by 0.65 m/s²:

   T² = (1600 m) / (0.65 m/s²)

   T = square root of (1600 / 0.65) seconds

Time for the total trip between the stations is double that time.

   T = 2 √(1600/0.65) = <em>99.2 seconds</em> (rounded)

A centrifuge in a medical laboratory rotates at an angular speed of 3,500 rev/min, clockwise (when viewed from above). When swit

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The magnitude of angular acceleration is $232.38\ rad/s^2$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial angular velocity, $\omega_i=3500\ rev/min=366.5\ rad/s$

When it switched off, it comes o rest, $\omega_f=0$

Number of revolution, $\theta=46=289.02\ rad$

We need to find the magnitude of angular acceleration. It can be calculated using third equation of rotational kinematics as :

$\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{-(366.51)^2}{2\times 289.02}\\\\\alpha =-232.38\ rad/s^2$

So, the magnitude of angular acceleration is $232.38\ rad/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
