Answer:

= 7.88 × 10^-12 T

Explanation:

From the above question, we are told that:

Kinetic Energy of the proton is K. E = 10.0 MeV

Step 1

We convert 10.0 MeV to Joules

1 Mev = 1.602 × 10-13 Joules

10.0 MeV = 10.0 × 1.602 × 10^-13 Joules = 1.602 × 10^-12 J

Hence, the Kinectic energy of a proton = 1.602 × 10^-12 J

Step 2

Find the Speed of the Proton

The formula for Kinectic Energy =

K.E = 1/ 2 mv²

Where

m = mass of the proton

v = speed of the proton

K.E of the proton = 1.602 × 10^-12 J

Mass of the proton = 1.6726219 × 10^-27 kilograms

Speed of the proton = ?

1.602 × 10^-12J = 1/2 × 1.6726219 × 10^-27 × v²

1.602 × 10^-12J = 8.3631095 ×10^-28 × v²

v² = 1.602 × 10^-12/8.3631095 ×10^-28

v = √(1.602 × 10^-12/8.3631095 ×10^-28)

v = 43772331.227m/s

v = 4.3772331227 × 10^7m/s

Approximately = 4.4 × 10^7 m/s

Step 3

Find the Magnetic Field of that region of space

The formula for Magnetic Field =

B = m v / q r

We are told that the proton executes a circular orbit, hence,

mv = √2m(KE)

m = Mass of the proton = 1.6726219 × 10^-27 kg

K.E of the proton = 1.602 × 10^-12 J

v = speed of the proton = 4.4 × 10^7 m/s

q = Electric charge = 1.6 × 10^-19 C

r = radius of the orbit = 5.80Ã10^10 m

= 5.8 × 10^10m

Magnetic Field =

=√ (2 × 1.6726219 × 10^-27 kg × 1.602 × 10^-12 J) /( 1.6 × 10^-19 C × 5.80 × 10^10 m)

= 7.88 × 10^-12 T

The magnetic field in that region of space is approximately 7.88 × 10^-12 T

Could I get help on this question please . My parents won’t help me /:
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Tarzan will be moving at 7.4 m/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) of cliff = 2.8 m

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) =?

NOTE: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine how fast (i.e final velocity) Tarzan will be moving at the bottom. This can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 2.8)

v² = 0 + 54.88

v² = 54.88

Take the square root of both side

v = √54.88

v = 7.4 m/s

Therefore, Tarzan will be moving at 7.4 m/s at the bottom.

Calculate the true mass (in vacuum) of a piece of aluminum whose apparent mass is 4.5000 kgkg when weighed in air. The density o
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The true weight of the aluminium is m_{alu} = 4.5021 kg

Explanation:

Given data

m_{app} = 4.5 kg

\rho_{air} = 1.29 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

\rho_{al} = 2.7× 10^{3} \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

The true mass of the aluminium is given by

m_{alu} = \frac{\rho_{alu}m_{app}}{\rho_{alu} -\rho_{air} }

Put all the values in above equation we get

m_{alu} = \frac{(2700)(4.5)}{2700-1.29}

m_{alu} = 4.5021 kg

Therefore the true weight of the aluminium is m_{alu} = 4.5021 kg

How much mass should be attached to a vertical ideal spring having a spring constant (force constant) of 39.5 n/m so that it wil
mrs_skeptik [129]
The frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator such as a spring-mass system is given by
f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}   \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }
where 
k is the spring constant
m is the mass attached to the spring.

Re-arranging the formula, we get:
m= \frac{k}{4 \pi^2 f^2}
and since we know the constant of the spring:
k=39.5 N/m
and the frequency of oscillation:
f=1.00 Hz
we can find the value of the mass attached to it:
m= \frac{39.5 Hz}{4 \pi^2 (1.00 Hz)^2} = 1.00 kg

Max ran 100 feet in 10 seconds.
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

for max :

100 feet in 10 secs

for molly :

60 feet in 5 secs = 120 feet in 10 secs

so, molly ran farther in the same time interval i.e. covered 120 feet where as Max covered 100 feet
