Alpha particles, each having a charge of +2e and a mass of 6.64 ×10-27 kg, are accelerated in a uniform 0.50 T magnetic field to

a final orbit radius of 0.50 m. The field is perpendicular to the velocity of the particles. What is the kinetic energy of an alpha particle in the final orbit? (1 eV = 1.60 × 10-19 J, e = 1.60 × 10-19 C)

Answer:

KE=1.2036\times 10^{-12}\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • charge on the alpha particle, q=2e=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C
  • mass of the alpha particle, m=6.64\times 10^{-27}\ kg
  • strength of a uniform magnetic field, B=0.5\ T
  • radius of the final orbit, r=0.5\ m

<u>During the motion of a charge the magnetic force and the centripetal forces are balanced:</u>

q.v.B=m.\frac{v^2}{r}

m.v=q.B.r

where:

v = velocity of the alpha particle

v=\frac{q.B.r}{m}

v=\frac{3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 0.5\times 0.5}{6.64\times 10^{-27}}

v=1.2048\times 10^{7}\ m.s^{-1}

Here we observe that the velocity of the aprticle is close to the velocity of light. So the kinetic energy will be relativistic.

<u>We firstly find the relativistic mass as:</u>

m'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } } \times m

m'=\frac{6.64\times 10^{-27}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(1.2048\times 10^7)^2}{(3\times 10^8)^2} } }

m'=6.6533\times10^{-27}\ kg

now kinetic energy:

KE=m'.c-m.c

KE=6.6533\times 10^{-27}\times (3\times 10^8)^2-6.64\times 10^{-27}\times (3\times 10^8)^2

KE=1.2036\times 10^{-12}\ J

Marina86 [1]
When adding a solute to the solvent, the solution will then boil at a point much higher than the solvent itself. Therefore, it would take much longer for the solution to boil. Among the choices, the correct answer would be B. The water will boil at a higher temperature.

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The helicopter was 1103.63 meters high when the package was dropped.

Explanation:

We consider positive speed as a downward movement

y: height (m)

t: time (s)

v₀: initial speed (m/s)

Δy = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}gt²

Δy= 15\frac{m}{s}×15 s + \frac{1}{2}×9.81\frac{m}{s^{2} }×(15 s)²

Δy= 1103.63 m

The student’s suggestion who provides enough evidence to be able to determine the value of each resistor is student D.

<h3>What is current?</h3>

The current is the stream of charges which flow inside the conductors when connected across the end of voltage.

For the given set of parallel resistors, we need to find the resistance of each resistor.

From the Ohm's law, V =IR

R = V/I

Resistance value depends upon the voltage difference across the resistor and the current flowing through that resistance.

Thus, the student D gives enough evidence to find resistance of the circuit is
