Answer:

r = 0.114 m

Explanation:

To find the speed of the proton, from conservation of energy, we know that

KE = PE

Thus, we have;

(1/2)mv² = qV

Where;

V is potential difference = 1kv = 1000V

q is charge on proton which has a value of 1.6 x 10^(-19) C

m is mass of proton with a constant value of 1.67 x 10^(-27) kg

Let's make the velocity v the subject;

v =√(2qV/m)

v = √(2•1.6 x 10^(-19)•1000)/(1.67 x 10^(-27))

v = 4.377 x 10^(5) m/s

Now to calculate the radius of the circular motion of charge we know that;

F = mv²/r = qvB

Thus, mv²/r = qvB

Divide both sides by v;

mv/r = qB

Thus, r = mv/qB

Value of B from question is 0.04T

Thus,

r = (1.67 x 10^(-27) x 4.377 x 10^(5))/(1.6 x 10^(-19) x 0.04)

r = 0.114 m

r = 8.76 m

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 2.59 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire a
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Tangential speed=5.4 m/s

Radial acceleration=88.6m/s^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Angular speed=2.59 rev/s

We know that

1 revolution=2\pi rad

2.59 rev=2\pi\times 2.59=5.18\pi=5.18\times 3.14=16.27 rad/s

By using \pi=3.14

Angular velocity=\omega=16.27rad/s

Distance from axis=r=0.329 m

Tangential speed=r\omega=16.27\times 0.329=5.4m/s

Radial acceleration=\frac{v^2}{r}

Radial acceleration=\frac{(5.4)^2}{0.329}=88.6m/s^2

A train moves from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 30.0 seconds. What is the acceleration?
fredd [130]

Answer:

a = 0.83\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Uniform Acceleration </u>

When an object changes its velocity at the same rate, the acceleration is constant.

The relation between the initial and final speeds is:

v_f=v_o+a.t

Where:

vf  = Final speed

vo = Initial speed

a   = Constant acceleration

t   = Elapsed time

It's known a train moves from rest (vo=0) to a speed of vf=25 m/s in t=30 seconds. It's required to calculate the acceleration.

Solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

Substituting:

\displaystyle a=\frac{25-0}{30}

\boxed{a = 0.83\ m/s^2}

A sample contains 36 g of a radioactive isotope. How much radioactive isotope remains in the sample after 3 half-lives?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

<u>Option "C":</u> "4.5 g"

Explanation:

N0 = 36 g, Let half-life is T.

t = 3 T, n is number of half lives = t / T = 3

<u>By using the decay law of radioactivity</u>

N / N0 = (1 / 2)^n

where

"N0" be the "initial amount"

"N" be the "amount left"

"n" be the "number of half-lives"

N / 36 = (1/2)^3

N / 36 = 1 / 8

N = 36 / 8 = 4.5 g
