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

(1) A positive charge +3 C is separated from another positive charge of +5 C by a distance of 7m. What is the magnitude of the e
Aneli [31]

1. The magnitude of the electric force between the two charges is 2.8×10⁹ N (Option B)

2. The net charge on the molecule is -8×10⁻¹⁹ C (Option D)

3. The magnitude of the force between the charges is 16000 N (Option C)

4. The correct statement is: A neutral object has equal numbers of protons and electrons. (Option C)

<h3>1. How to determine the force</h3>
  • Charge 1 (q₁) = +3 C
  • Charge 2 (q₂) = +5 C
  • Electric constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²
  • Distance apart (r) = 7 m
  • Force (F) =?

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = (9×10⁹ × 3 × 5) / (7)²

F = 2.8×10⁹ N

<h3>2. How to determine the net charge on the molecule</h3>
  • Electron = 223 electrons
  • Proton = 218 protons
  • Net Charge =?

Charge = Proton - Electron

Charge = 218 - 223

Charge = -5 electrons

But

1 electron = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C

Thus,

Net Charge = -5 × 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C

Net Charge = -8×10⁻¹⁹ C

<h3>3. How to determine the force</h3>
  • Charge 1 (q₁) = 2×10⁻⁴ C
  • Charge 2 (q₂) = 8×10⁻⁴ C
  • Electric constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²
  • Distance apart (r) = 0.3 m
  • Force (F) =?

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = (9×10⁹ × 2×10⁻⁴ × 8×10⁻⁴) / (0.3)²

F = 16000 N

<h3>4. What is a neutral object?</h3>

A neutral object is an object having equal numbers of protons and electrons. For example, an object with 4 protons and 4 electrons is said to be neutral as illustrated below

  • Electron = 4 electrons
  • Proton = 4 protons
  • Net Charge =?

Charge = Proton - Electron

Charge = 4 - 4

Charge = 0 (neutral)

Thus, the correct statement about neutral object, given in the question is: A neutral object has equal numbers of protons and electrons (Option C)

An object weighs 39.36 newtons. What is its mass if a gravitometer indicates that g = 9.83 m/s2?
CaHeK987 [17]
The force applied to an object is said to be a product of its mass and the acceleration. For this case, acceleration is the reading on the gravitometer. We calculate as follows:

F = mg
39.36 N = m(9.83 m/s^2)
m = 4.00 kg

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
