A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen-16 from the much rarer oxygen-18, taken from a sample of old glacial

Answer:

0.092 m

Explanation:

A charged moving particle immersed in a region with magnetic field follows a circular trajectory at constant speed (uniform circular motion), since the magnetic forces acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle.

Since the magnetic force acts as centripetal force, we can write:

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

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is its velocity

B is the strength of the magnetic field

m is the mass of the particle

r is the radius of the orbit

Solving the equation for r,

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

For the ion of oxygen-16, we have:

$m_A=2.66\cdot 10^{-26}kg$

$q_A = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ (it is singly charged)

$v_A=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s$

$B_A=1.30 T$

So the radius of its orbit is

$r_A=\frac{m_A v_A}{q_A B_A}=\frac{(2.66\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.371 m$

For the ion of oxygen-18, we have:

$m_B = \frac{18}{16}m_A = 2.99\cdot 10^{-26}kg$

$q_B = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ (it is singly charged)

$v_B=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s$

$B_B=1.30 T$

So the radius of its orbit is

$r_B=\frac{m_B v_B}{q_B B_B}=\frac{(2.99\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.417 m$

After each ion has travelled a semicircle, the separation between the two ions will be twice the difference in their radius, so:

$d=2(r_B-r_A)=2(0.417-0.371)=0.092 m$

Well, the density of the water is
${1000 \frac{kg}{ {m}^{3} } }$
so i believe that is what the question is asking for :)

A car slows down uniformly from a speed of 30.0 m/s to rest in 7.20 s

Ede4ka [16]

When acceleration is constant, the average velocity is given by

$\bar v=\dfrac{v+v_0}2$

where $v$ and $v_0$ are the final and initial velocities, respectively. By definition, we also have that the average velocity is given by

$\bar v=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{x-x_0}{t-t_0}$

where $x,x_0$ are the final/initial displacements, and $t,t_0$ are the final/initial times, respectively.

Take the car's starting position to be at $t_0=0\,\mathrm s$ . Then

$\dfrac{v+v_0}2=\dfrac{x-x_0}t\implies x=x_0+\dfrac12(v+v_0)t$

So we have

$x=0\,\mathrm m+\dfrac12\left(0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+30.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(7.20\,\mathrm s)=108\,\mathrm m$

You also could have first found the acceleration using the equation

$v=v_0+at$

then solve for $x$ via

$x=x_0+v_0t+\dfrac12at^2$

but that would have involved a bit more work, and it turns out we didn't need to know the precise value of $a$ anyway.

a snail can move approximately 0.30 meters per minute.How many meters can the snail cover in 15 minutes ?

hichkok12 [17]

Sometimes if you have the word per, you need to multiply. In this problem, they are asking you to find the amount of meters a snail can travel per minute.They are giving you the amount of minutes, so in this case you multiply 15 times 0.30. The answer is 4.5 meters.
