Given Information:
Radius = r = 0.5 m
Magnetic field = 1.0 T
Required Information:
Period = T = ?
Speed = v = ?
Kinetic energy = KE = ?
Answer:
Period = 0.13x10⁻⁶ seconds
speed = 24.16x10⁶ m/s
Kinetic energy = 12.11 MeV
Explanation:
(a) period
The time period of alpha particle is related to its orbital speed as
T = 2πr/v eq. 1
According to newton's law
F = ma
Force due to magnetic field is given by
F = qvB
qvB = ma
qvB = m(v²/r)
qB = mv/r
v = qBr/m eq. 2
substitute the eq. 2 in eq. 1
T = 2πr/qBr/m
r cancels out
T = 2π/qB/m
T = 2πm/qB
T = 2π*6.65x10⁻²⁷/2*1.602x10⁻¹⁹*1
T = 0.13x10⁻⁶ seconds
(b) speed
From equation 1
T = 2πr/v
v = 2πr/T
v = 2π*0.5/0.13x10⁻⁶
v = 24.16x10⁶ m/s
(c) kinetic energy (in electron volts)
Kinetic energy is given by
KE = 0.5mv²
KE = 0.5*6.65x10⁻²⁷*(24.16x10⁶)²
KE = 1.94x10⁻¹² J
since 1 electron volt has 1.602x10⁻¹⁹ J
KE = 1.94x10⁻¹²/1.602x10⁻¹⁹
KE = 12.11 MeV
Answer:
Pseudoscience
Explanation:
Pseudoscience is defined as set of ideas that present themselves as a science, but they do not fulfill the criteria to be called science. In the same way, in the middle of 20th century some people called earth is flat. They challenged the spherical shape of earth. But their hypothesis does not fulfill the criteria of science. Therefore, the statements of flat earth society are pseudoscience.
