Answer:

To calculate the atomic mass of a single atom of an element, add up the mass of protons and neutrons. Example: Find the atomic mass of an isotope of carbon that has 7 neutrons. You can see from the periodic table that carbon has an atomic number of 6, which is its number of protons.

g An electron enters a region of space containing a uniform 1.63 × 10 − 5 T magnetic field. Its speed is 121 m/s and it enters p

Answer:

i. The radius 'r' of the electron's path is 4.23 × $10^{-5}$ m.

ii. The frequency 'f' of the motion is 455.44 KHz.

Explanation:

The radius 'r' of the electron's path is called a gyroradius. Gyroradius is the radius of the circular motion of a charged particle in the presence of a uniform magnetic field.

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

Where: B is the strength magnetic field, q is the charge, v is its velocity and m is the mass of the particle.

From the question, B = 1.63 × $10^{-5}$ T, v = 121 m/s, Θ = $90^{0}$ (since it enters perpendicularly to the field), q = e = 1.6 × $10^{-19}$ C and m = 9.11 × $10^{-31}$ Kg.

Thus,

r = $\frac{mv}{qB}$ ÷ sinΘ

But, sinΘ = sin $90^{0}$ = 1.

So that;

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

= (9.11 × $10^{-31}$ × 121) ÷ (1.6 × $10^{-19}$ × 1.63 × $10^{-5}$ )

= 1.10231 × $10^{-28}$ ÷ 2.608 × $10^{-24}$

= 4.2266 × $10^{-5}$

= 4.23 × $10^{-5}$ m

The radius 'r' of the electron's path is 4.23 × $10^{-5}$ m.

B. The frequency 'f' of the motion is called cyclotron frequency;

f = $\frac{qB}{2\pi m}$

= (1.6 × $10^{-19}$ × 1.63 × $10^{-5}$ ) ÷ (2 × $\frac{22}{7}$ × 9.11 × $10^{-31}$ )

= 2.608 × $10^{-24}$ ÷ 5.7263 × $10^{-30}$

= 455442.4323

f = 455.44 KHz

The frequency 'f' of the motion is 455.44 KHz.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Zero because the applied force is perpendicular to the motion of the object.

No work is done on an object moving is a circular path about a central attractive force.

Any work done in such a case would result in a change in the orbit.

Since there are no aurora observed on Venus we can conclude that Venus a. lacks atmospheric oxygen b. is too hot for magnetic fo

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Yes, Venus does not have the same magnetic field as that of earth's

Explanation:

Instead, there are solar wind particles that can deeply penetrate the venus atmosphere and can collide with the other carbon atoms already present in the air but lacks oxygen and thus does not have that strong magnetic field which would deflect the suns rays and create aurora in the sky at night.
