Answer:
11060M Joules, where M is the mass of the diver in kg
Explanation:
Mass of the skydiver missing, we're assuming it's M.
It's total energy is the sum of the contribution of his kinetic energy (K)- since he's moving at 50 m/s, and it's potential energy (U), since he's subject to earth gravity.
Energy is the sum of the two, so
Answer:
3.28 cm
Explanation:
To solve this problem, you need to know that a magnetic field B perpendicular to the movement of a proton that moves at a velocity v will cause a Force F experimented by the particle that is orthogonal to both the velocity and the magnetic Field. When a particle experiments a Force orthogonal to its velocity, the path it will follow will be circular. The radius of said circle can be calculated using the expression:
r =
Where m is the mass of the particle, v is its velocity, q is its charge and B is the magnitude of the magnetic field.
The mass and charge of a proton are:
m = 1.67 * 10^-27 kg
q = 1.6 * 10^-19 C
So, we get that the radius r will be:
r = = 0.0328 m, or 3.28 cm.
