An alpha particle can be produced in certain radioactive decays of nuclei and consists of two protons and two neutrons. The part

icle has a charge of q = +2e and a mass of 4.00 u, where u is the atomic mass unit, with
1μ= 1.661×10^−27kg

Suppose an alpha particle travels in a circular path of radius 4.50 cm in a uniform magnetic field with B = 1.20 T. Calculate
(a) its speed.
(b) its period of revolution.
(c) its kinetic energy.
(d) the potential difference through which it would have to be accelerated to achieve this energy.

Answer:

Explanation:

charge, q = 2e = 2 x 1.6 x 10^-19 C = 3.2 x 10^-19 C

mass, m = 4 u = 4 x 1.661 x 10^-27 kg = 6.644 x 10^-27 kg

Radius, r = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m

Magnetic field, B = 1.20 T

(a) Let the speed is v.

v=\frac{Bqr}{m}

v=\frac{1.20\times 3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 0.045}{6.644\times 10^{-27}}

v = 2.6 x 10^6 m/s

(b) Let T be the period of revolution

T=\frac{2\pi r}{v}

T=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 0.045}{2.6\times 10^{6}}

T = 1.09 x 10^-7 s

(c) The formula for the kinetic energy is

K=\frac{B^{2}\times q^{2}\times r^{2}}{2m}

K=\frac{\left ( 1.20\times 3.2 \times 10^{-19}\times 0.045 \right )^{2}}{2\times 6.644\times 10^{-27}}

K = 2.25 x 10^-14 J

(d) Let the potential difference is V.

K = qV

V = \frac{K}{q}

V= \frac{2.25\times 10^-14}{3.2\times 10^{-19}}

V = 70312.5 V

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

d. The scale's resolution is too low to read the change in mass

Explanation:

If we want to find the change in energy of the spring, we will have to use the Hooke's Law. Hooke's Law states that:

F = kx

since,

w = Fd

dw = Fdx

integrating and using value of F, we get:

ΔE = (0.5)kx²

where,

ΔE = Energy added to spring

k = spring constant

x = displacement

The spring constant is typically in range of 4900 to 29400 N/m.

So if we take the extreme case of 29400 N/m and lets say we assume an unusually, extreme case of 1 m compression, we get the value of energy added to be:

ΔE = (0.5)(29400 N/m)(1 m)²

ΔE = 1.47 x 10⁴ J

Now, if we convert this energy to mass from Einstein's equation, we get:

ΔE = Δmc²

Δm = ΔE/c²

Δm = (1.47 x 10⁴ J)/(3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

<u>Δm =  4.9 x 10⁻¹³ kg</u>

As, you can see from the answer that even for the most extreme cases the value of mass associated with the additional energy is of very low magnitude.

Since, the scale only gives the mass value upto 1 decimal place.

Thus, it can not determine such a small change. So, the correct option is:

<u>d. The scale's resolution is too low to read the change in mass</u>

Briefly describe the formation of the planets from the solar nebula
saul85 [17]
<span>The formation of the Solar System began 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a proto-planetary disk out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

fo = 378.52Hz

Explanation:

Using Doppler effect formula:

f'=\frac{C-Vb}{C-Va}*fo

where

f' = 392 Hz

C = 340m/s

Vb = 20m/s

Va = 31m/s

Replacing these values and solving for fo:

fo = 378.52Hz
