Answer:

a) v=6.898\times 10^{6}\ m.s^{-1} is the speed of each proton

b) F_c=3.97\times 10^{-13}\ N

Explanation:

Given:

radius of path of motion, r=0.2\ m

we know charge on protons, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

magnetic field strength, B=0.36\ T

we've mass of proton, m=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

a)

From the equivalence of magnetic force and the centripetal force on the proton:

F_B=F_C

q.v.B=\frac{m.v^2}{r}

q.B=\frac{m.v}{r}

where:

v = speed of the proton

(1.6\times 10^{-19})\times 0.36=\frac{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times v}{0.2}

v=6.898\times 10^{6}\ m.s^{-1} is the speed of each proton

b)

Now the centripetal force on each proton:

F_c=m.\frac{v^2}{r}

F_c=1.67\times 10^{-27}\times \frac{(6.898\times 10^6)^2}{0.2}

F_c=3.97\times 10^{-13}\ N

A 20 kg box has 1000 joules of potential energy on a shelf. How high is the shelf?
navik [9.2K]
Formula: PE = mgh
m = 20 kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2 h= ?
1000 = 20 * 9.8 * h
1000 = 196h
h = 5.10204082
The height is around 5m
