A singly charged ion of 7Li (an isotope of lithium which lost only one electron) has a mass of 1.16 ×10^-26 kg. It is accelerate

MaRussiya [10]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of lithium, $m=1.16\times 10^{-26}\ kg$

It is accelerated through a potential difference, V = 224 V

Uniform magnetic field, B = 0.724 T

Applying the conservation of energy as :

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=qV$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qV}{m}}$

q is the charge on an electron

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 224\ V}{1.16\times 10^{-26}\ kg}}$

v = 78608.58 m/s

$v=7.86\times 10^4\ m/s$

To find the radius of the ion's path in the magnetic field. The centripetal force is balanced by the magnetic force as :

$qvB=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}$

$r=\dfrac{1.16\times 10^{-26}\ kg\times 7.86\times 10^4\ m/s}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 0.724\ T}$

r = 0.0078 meters

So, the radius of the path of the ion is 0.0078 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 300 g glass thermometer initially at 23 ◦C is put into 236 cm3 of hot water at 87 ◦C. Find the final temperature of the thermo

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

$74^{\circ} C$

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of glass, $m=300 g$

$T_1=23^{\circ}$

Volume, $V=236cm^3$

Mass of water= $density\times volume=1\times 236=236 g$

Density of water= $1g/cm^3$

Temperature of hot water, $T=87^{\circ}$

Specific heat of glass, $C_g=0.2cal/g^{\circ}C$

Specific heat of water, $C_w=1 cal/g^{\circ}C$

$Q_{glass}=m_gC_g(T_f-T_1)=300\times 0.2(T_f-23)$

$Q_{water}=m_wC_w(T_f-T)=236\times 1(T_f-87)$

$Q_{glass}+Q_{water}=0$

$300\times 0.2(T_f-23)+236\times 1(T_f-87)$

$60T_f-1380+236T_f-20532=0$

$296T_f=20532+1380=21912$

$T_f=\frac{21912}{296}=74^{\circ} C$

The velocity of a body is given by the equation v= a + bx, where 'x' is displacement. The unit of b is .......

valina [46]

Answer:

s^ -1 ( or 1/sec)

Explanation:

Velocity is given in units of displacement / sec

like feet /sec or m/sec

so b would have units of s^-1

(or perhaps a more general term would be time^-1)

A car of mass m, traveling at constant speed, rides over the top of a round hill. How do the normal force of the road on the car

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The normal force will be lower than the gravitational force acting on the car. Therefore the answer is N < mg, which is <em>option B</em>.

Explanation:

Over a round hill, the centripetal force acting toward the the radius of the hill supports the gravitational force (mg) of the car. This notion can be expressed mathematically as follows:

At the top of a round hill

$Normal force = Gravitational force - centripetal force$

At the foot of a round hill

$Normal Force = centripetal force + Gravitational force$

What is one way the biosphere can affect the geosphere

erica [24]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Biosphere breaks down rock of the geosphere (plant roots), but when it comes to soil, minerals of the geosphere feed the plants. Biosphere and atmosphere interact through animal and plant respiration of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Geosphere creates, destroys and keeps various biosphere places safe.
