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

The x vector component of a displacement vector has a magnitude of 86.2 m and points along the negative x axis. The y vector com
Flauer [41]

Answer:

(a) Magnitude of Vector = 207.73 m

(b) Direction = 65.48°

Explanation:

(a)

The formula to find out the magnitude of a resultant vector with the help of its x and y components is given as follows:

Magnitude\ of\ Vector = \sqrt{d_{x}^{2} + d_{y}^{2}} = \sqrt{(86.2\ m)^{2} + (189\ m)^{2}}\\\\

<u>Magnitude of Vector = 207.73 m</u>

(b)

For the direction of the vector we have the formula:

Direction = tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})\\\\Direction = tan^{-1}(\frac{189\ m}{86.2\ m})\\\\

<u>Direction = 65.48°</u>

A boater is accompanied by a person at least 16 years of age. In michigan, what is the youngest age that this person can be and
dexar [7]

The youngest age that this person can be and legally operate a boat powered by a motor of more than 35 hp will be 12 years of age.

<h3 /><h3>What is electric power?</h3>

It is the rate of the electric work done. Its unit is the watt. Horsepower is the unit of power.

A person under the age of 12 may only legally operate a boat with a motor that has more than 6 horsepower but no more than 35 horsepower

if they meet two requirements: they have a boating safety certificate, which they must have on board; and they are being closely watched by an adult who is at least 16 years old.

Hence the youngest age that this person can be and legally operate a boat powered by a motor of more than 35 hp will be 12 years of age.

To learn more about electric power refer to the link;

What are the effects of pressure on liquids?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: Changes in pressure have very little effect on the volume of a liquid. Liquids are slightly incompressible because any increase in pressure can only slightly minimize the distance between the closely packed molecules. Hope this helps.
