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

ice. (The relative abundance of these oxygen isotopes is related to climatic temperature at the time the ice was deposited.) The ratio of the masses of these two ions is 16 to 18, the mass of oxygen-16 is 2.66e−26kg, and they are singly charged and travel at 5.00×106m/s in a 1.20-T magnetic field. What is the separation between their paths when they hit a target after traversing a semicircle?

Answer: 0.076 m

Explanation:

Magnetic force= centripetal force;

F(B) = F(c) --------------------------(1)

Bqv= mv^2/R---------------------(2)

Where B= magnetic field,q= charge, = mass, R= radius of the circular path.

Radius of the circular path,R= mv/qB.

Mass of oxygen-16 is 2.66e−26kg, and they are singly charged = 18/16(mass ratio= 18:16)

18/16 × (2.26 × 10^ -26 kg)

= 2.99 × 10^26 kg

∆d=2r(18)-2r(16)-----------------(3)

r(18) is the radius of mass of oxygen-18,

r(16) is the radius of mass of oxygen-16.

From the question, v= 3.7×10^6 m/s, q= 1.6×10^-9 C.

From equation (2) above we have;

R= MV/qB------------------------(4)

This equation (4) is used in solving for the distance between the two.

Solving;∆d=2r(18)-2r(16)

∆d = 2[m(18) - m(16)] v/ qB

M(18)-m(16) =(2.99-2.66)× 10^-26:

qB= 1.6×10^-19×2 = 3.2×10^-19

= (2.99-2.66)× 10^-26/ 3.2× 10^-19

= 0.076 m

If a car with a mass of 1,200 kg traveling westward at 30 m/s is

forsale [732]

The net force acting on the car is equal to -12000 Newton.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Mass = 1,200 kg

Initial velocity = 30 m/s.

Final velocity = 0 m/s (since the car came to a stop).

Time = 3 seconds.

To determine the net force acting on the car:

<h3>How to calculate the net force.</h3>

Mathematically, the net force acting on the car is given by Newton's Second Law of Motion:

$F = \frac{m(v\;-\;u)}{t}$

<u>Where:</u>

m is the mass.

t is the time.

u is the initial velocity.

u is the final velocity.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$F = \frac{1200 \times (0\;-\;30)}{3}\\\\F = \frac{1200 \times (-30)}{3}\\\\F = \frac{-36000 }{3}$

Net force = -12000 Newton.

Two horizontal curves on a bobsled run are banked at the same angle, but one has twice the radius of the other. The safe speed (

Answer:

Answer:

safe speed for the larger radius track u= √2 v

Explanation:

The sum of the forces on either side is the same, the only difference is the radius of curvature and speed.

Also given that r_1= smaller radius

r_2= larger radius curve

r_2= 2r_1..............i

let u be the speed of larger radius curve

now, \sum F = \frac{mv^2}{r_1} =\frac{mu^2}{r_2}∑F=

How do amplitude and frequency affect light energy? help asap !!!!!!

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

So, I’m assuming that we’re treating light as a propagating wave.

Amplitude measures the amount of energy transported by a wave, thus amplitude squared is directly proportional to the light’s energy. The higher the amplitude, the higher the energy.

Energy is also directly proportional to the frequency of a wave, the higher the frequency, the higher the energy.

I took my second answer from the formula below:

A rubber ball and a lump of clay have equal mass. They are thrown with equal speed against a wall. The ball bounces back with ne

gregori [183]

Answer:

The ball experiences the greater momentum change

Explanation:

The momentum change of each object is given by:

$\Delta p = m \Delta v= m (v-u)$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

Both objects have same mass m and same initial velocity u. So we have:

- For the ball, the final velocity is

$v=-u$

Since it bounces back (so, opposite direction --> negative sign) with same speed (so, the magnitude of the final velocity is still u). So the change in momentum is

$\Delta p=m(v-u)=m((-u)-u)=-2mu$

- For the clay, the final velocity is

$v=0$

since it sticks to the wall. So, the change in momentum is

$\Delta p = m(v-u)=m(0-u)=-mu$

So we see that the greater momentum change (in magnitude) is experienced by the ball.
