The aurora is caused when electrons and protons, moving in the earth’s magnetic field of ≈5.0×10−5T, collide with molecules of t

he atmosphere and cause them to glow. What is the frequency of the circular orbit for an electron with speed 1.0×106m/s? Assume that the electron moves in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Answer:

8.79*10^6 rad/s

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the circular orbit for an electron you use the following expression, for the radius of the trajectory of an electron, that travels trough a constant magnetic field:

r=\frac{mv}{qB}         (1)

r: radius of the trajectory

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10^-31 kg

v: speed of the electron = 1.0*10^6 m/s

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

B: magnitude of the magnetic field = 5.0*10^-5 T

You use the fact that the angular frequency in a circular motion is given by:

\omega=\frac{v}{r}

Then, you solve the equation (1) in order to obtain v/r:

\frac{v}{r}=\omega=\frac{qB}{m}

Finally, you replace the values of the parameters:

\omega=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(5.0*10^{-5}T)}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}\\\\\omega=8.79*10^6\frac{rad}{s}

hence, the angular frequency is 8.79*10^6 rad/s

The frequency is:

f=2\pi \omega=5.5*10^7Hz

A van accelerates from 4m/s to 20m/s in 8s. How far does it travel in this time?​
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

96 m

Explanation:

Given,

Initial velocity ( u ) = 4 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time ( t ) = 8 s

Let Acceleration be " a ".

Formula : -

a = ( v - u ) / t

a = ( 20 - 4 ) / 8

= 16 / 8

a = 2 m/s²

Let displacement be " s ".

Formula : -

s = ut + at² / 2

s = ( 4 ) ( 8 ) + ( 2 ) ( 8² ) / 2

= 32 + ( 2 ) ( 64 ) / 2

= 32 + ( 2 ) ( 32 )

= 32 + 64

s = 96 m

Therefore, it travels 96 m in time 8 s.
