Answer:

1/√2

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of a body is expressed as

KE = 1/2mv²

If it's KE is doubled

2KE = 1/2mv1² where v1 is the new speed when the kinetic energy is doubled

To know the value of the amount the velocity has changed, we will divide both equations

2KE/KE = (1/2mv²)/(1/2mv1²)

2 = v²/v1²

(v/v1)² = 2

v/v1 = √2

v1 = v/√2

v1 = 1/√2 × v

The new velocity has changed by

1/√2vinitial

A charged particle moves in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field.Which of the following would increase the period of the
Bond [772]

Answer:

Increasing its charge

Increasing the field strength

Explanation:

For a charged particle moving in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field, the centripetal force is provided by the magnetic force, so we can write:

qvB = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

q is the charge

v is the velocity

B is the magnetic field

m is the mass

r is the radius of the orbit

The period of the motion is

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

Re-arranging for r

r=\frac{Tv}{2\pi}

And substituting into the previous equation

qvB = m \frac{Tv^3}{2\pi}

Solving for T,

T=\frac{2\pi q B}{m v^2}

So we see that the period is:

- proportional to the charge and the magnetic field

- inversely proportional to the mass and the square of the speed

So the following will increase the period of the particle's motion:

Increasing its charge

Increasing the field strength

Exposure to the Sun's harmful infrared radiation should be kept to a minimum.
zysi [14]

Of course! If it's harmful, then your exposure to it should be kept
to a minimum.  That's a no-brainer.  But the sun's infrared radiation
is generally less harmful than its ultraviolet radiation is.

What type of nuclear radiation is emitted when carbon-14 decays
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Beta radiation

Explanation:

Beta radiation is a radioactive phenomenon of nuclear decay in which an unstable atom or isotop, by transforming a neutron into a proton, or by transforming a proton into a neutron, becomes stable. For example, the decay of carbon 14 produces beta radiation.
