Answer:

the proton speed of the proton was 1.6 × 10⁶ m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Radius r = 6.42 cm = 0.0642 m

magnetic field B = 0.260 T

we know that; charge of proton q = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

And mass of proton m = 1.672 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

we know that; Magnetic Force F = qvBsinθ

where q is the charge of proton, v is velocity, B is the magnetic field and θ is  angle ( 90° )

Also the Centripetal force experienced by the particle is;

F = mv² / r

where r is radius, m is mass of proton and v is velocity

hence;

qvBsinθ = mv² / r

we solve for v

rqvBsinθ = mv²

divide both sides by mv

rqvBsinθ / mv = mv² / mv

rqBsinθ / m = v

so we substitute

v = [ 0.0642 m × (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C) × 0.260 T × sin(90°) ] /  1.67 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

v = 2.6740584 × 10⁻²¹ / 1.672 × 10⁻²⁷

v = 1.6 × 10⁶ m/s

Therefore, the proton speed of the proton was 1.6 × 10⁶ m/s

A baseball player hits a ball with 400 n of force.how much does the ball exert on the bat
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The ball exerts a force of 400 N on the bat.

Explanation:

Given that,

A baseball player hits a ball with 400 N of force.

We need to find the force the ball exert on the bat.

We know that,

According to Newton's third law, when object 1 exerts a force on an object 2, then object 2 will exert a force on object 1 but in opposite direction.

So, the ball exerts a force of 400 N on the bat.

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a electrostatic force of 18.0 units. If the charge
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

new force is 6 times of the initial force.

Explanation:

Let the charges on two objects is q₁ and q₂. The electric force between charges is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a electrostatic force of 18.0 units

If the charge  of Object 1 is doubled and the charge of object 2 is tripled, it means, q_1'=2q_1 and q_2'=3q_2. New force is given by :

F'=\dfrac{kq_1'q_2'}{r^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{k(2q_1)(3q_2)}{r^2}\\\\F'=6\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\F'=6F

So, the new electrostatic force between objects will become 6 times of the initial force.
