Use dimensional analysis to determine how the linear acceleration a in m/s2 of a particle traveling in a circle depends on some,

or all, of the following properties: the radius r of the circle, the angular frequency ω in s−1 with which the particle orbits about the circle, and the mass m of the particle. There is no dimensionless constant involved in the relation.

I have to say, i love this kind of problems.

So, we got the linear acceleration, as we all know, linear the acceleration its, in dimensional units:

[a]=[\frac{distance}{time^2}].

Now, we got the radius

[r] = [distance]

the angular frequency

[\omega] = \frac{1}{s}

and the mass

[m]=[mass].

Now, the acceleration doesn't have units of mass, so it can't depend on the mass of the particle.

The distance in the acceleration has exponent 1, and so does in the radius. As the radius its the only parameter that has units of distance, this means that the radius must appear with exponent 1. Lets write

a \propto r.

The time in the acceleration has exponent -2 As the angular frequency its the only parameter that has units of time, this means that the angular frequency must appear, but, the angular frequency has an exponent of -1, this means it must be squared

a \propto r \omega^2.

We are almost there. If this were any other problem, we would write:

a = A r \omega^2

where A its an dimensionless constant. Its common for this constants to appears if we need an conversion factor. If we wanted the acceleration in cm/s^2, for example. Luckily for us, the problem states that there is no dimensionless constant involved, so:

a = r \omega^2

Accelerating charges radiate electromagnetic waves. Calculate the wavelength of radiation produced by a proton of mass mp moving
Iteru [2.4K]

Explanation:

Let m_p is the mass of proton. It is moving in a circular path perpendicular to a magnetic field of magnitude B.

The magnetic force is balanced by the centripetal force acting on the proton as :

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=qvB

r is the radius of path,

r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}

Time period is given by :

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}

T=\dfrac{2\pi m_p}{qB}

Frequency of proton is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{qB}{2\pi m_p}

The wavelength of radiation is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{2\pi m_pc}{qB}

So, the wavelength of radiation produced by a proton is \dfrac{2\pi m_pc}{qB}. Hence, this is the required solution.

What are the products of a fusion reaction? Check all that apply.
Free_Kalibri [48]

Energy, heavier atoms atoms, neutron and a proton are the products of a fusion reaction.

<h3>What are the products of a fusion reaction?</h3>

Nuclear fusion is a type of reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei fuse or combine to form heavy nuclei and subatomic particles such as neutrons or protons and release of energy.

So we can conclude that Energy, heavier atoms, neutron and a proton are the products of a fusion reaction.

Pls help :(( I need help!! Its physics! motion and forces!
Delvig [45]

Answer: Pedaling your bike : acceleration :: applying the brakes : inertia.

The reason I think this to be the answer to the analogy is because there is energy and work used in both processes (and the unit focuses on forces); gravity is constant and does not change whether one pedals or applies brakes. And I do not think it's deceleration, as deceleration tends to equate to acceleration within the physics perspective.

Edit: I should also add that since you clarified that your unit is motion and forces, Newtons 1st law is the law of inertia. The way to change an objects motion for it to slow down is by applying an additional force. That resistance the bike experiences to slow is the process of inertia. Inertia happens in order to accelerate an object (either by slowing it down, or speeding it up): i.e., the resistance to change.
