An antiproton is identical to a proton except it has the opposite charge, −e. To study antiprotons, they must be confined in an

ultrahigh vacuum because they will annihilate−producing gamma rays−if they come into contact with the protons of ordinary matter. One way of confining antiprotons is to keep them in a magnetic field. Suppose that antiprotons are created with a speed of 4.0 × 104 m/s and then trapped in a 4.0 mT magnetic field.

Answer:

d = 1.13*10^{-4}m = 0.113mm

Explanation:

To find the minimum diameter, that allow to antiproton circulate in the chamber without touching the walls, you use the following formula for the radius of the trajectory of a charged particle in a constant magnetic field.

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}$ (1)

r: radius of the trajectory

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

v: velocity of the antiproton = 4.0*10^4 m/s

B: magnitude of the magnetic field = 4.0mT = 4.0*10^-3 T

q: charge of the antiproton = +1.6*10^{-19}C

You replace the values of the parameters in (1):

$r=\frac{(9.1*10^{-31}kg)(4.0*10^4m/s)}{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(4.0*10^{-3}T)}\\\\r=5.68*10^{-5}m$

Then, the diameter of the chamber must be, at least:

d=2r = 2(5.68*10^-5) = 1.13*10^{-4}m = 0.113mm

Write a hypothesis why the moon has very little liquid water.

Llana [10]

Because the Moon has a very small surface area compared to other spacial geo-bodies, it has cooled down much faster than Earth. Any water on the moon would freeze.

A modern compact fluorescent lamp contains 1.4 mg of mercury (Hg). If each mercury atom in the lamp were to emit a single photon

Reika [66]

Answer:

A. 1.64 J

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find how many moles correspond to 1.4 mg of mercury. We have:

$n=\frac{m}{M_m}$

where

n is the number of moles

m = 1.4 mg = 0.0014 g is the mass of mercury

Mm = 200.6 g/mol is the molar mass of mercury

Substituting, we find

$n=\frac{0.0014 g}{200.6 g/mol}=7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol$

Now we have to find the number of atoms contained in this sample of mercury, which is given by:

$N=n N_A$

where

n is the number of moles

$N_A=6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1}$ is the Avogadro number

Substituting,

$N=(7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol)(6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1})=4.22\cdot 10^{18}$ atoms

The energy emitted by each atom (the energy of one photon) is

$E_1 = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda=508 nm=5.08\cdot 10^{-7}nm$ is the wavelength

Substituting,

$E_1 = \frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{5.08\cdot 10^{-7} m}=3.92\cdot 10^{-19} J$

And so, the total energy emitted by the sample is

$E=nE_1 = (4.22\cdot 10^{18} )(3.92\cdot 10^{-19}J)=1.64 J$

After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.3 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.3 kg

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a) 4.2m/s

b) 5.0m/s

Explanation:

This problem is solved using the principle of conservation of linear momentum which states that in a closed system of colliding bodies, the sum of the total momenta before collision is equal to the sum of the total momenta after collision.

The problem is also an illustration of elastic collision where there is no loss in kinetic energy.

Equation (1) is a mathematical representation of the the principle of conservation of linear momentum for two colliding bodies of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ whose respective velocities before collision are $u_1$ and $u_2$ ;

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2..............(1)$

where $v_1$ and $v_2$ are their respective velocities after collision.

Given;

$m_1=1.3kg\\u_1=5m/s\\m_2=1.3kg\\u_2=0m/s$

Note that $u_2$ =0 because the second mass $m_2$ was at rest before the collision.

Also, since the two masses are equal, we can say that $m_1=m_2=m$ so that equation (1) is reduced as follows;

$mu_1+mu_2=mv_1+mv_2\\\\m(u_1+u_2)=m(v_1+v_2)..............(2)$

m cancels out of both sides of equation (2), and we obtain the following;

$u_1+u_2=v_1+v_2.............(3)$

a) When $v_1=0.8m/s$ , we obtain the following by equation(3)

$5+0=0.8+v_2\\hence\\v_2=5-0.8\\v_2=4.2m/s$

b) As $m_1$ stops moving $v_1=0$ , therefore,

$5+0=0+v_2\\v_2=5m/s$
