Answer:

a) The proton's speed is 5.75x10⁵ m/s.

b) The kinetic energy of the proton is 1723 eV.  

Explanation:

a) The proton's speed can be calculated with the Lorentz force equation:

F = qv \times B = qvBsin(\theta)     (1)          

Where:

F: is the force = 9.14x10⁻¹⁷ N

q: is the charge of the particle (proton) = 1.602x10⁻¹⁹ C

v: is the proton's speed =?

B: is the magnetic field = 3.28 mT

θ: is the angle between the proton's speed and the magnetic field = 17.6°

By solving equation (1) for v we have:

v = \frac{F}{qBsin(\theta)} = \frac{9.14 \cdot 10^{-17} N}{1.602\cdot 10^{-19} C*3.28 \cdot 10^{-3} T*sin(17.6)} = 5.75 \cdot 10^{5} m/s

Hence, the proton's speed is 5.75x10⁵ m/s.

b) Its kinetic energy (K) is given by:

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Where:

m: is the mass of the proton = 1.67x10⁻²⁷ kg

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2}1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*(5.75 \cdot 10^{5} m/s)^{2} = 2.76 \cdot 10^{-16} J*\frac{1 eV}{1.602 \cdot 10^{-19} J} = 1723 eV  

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the proton is 1723 eV.

I hope it helps you!

An electron emitted in the beta decay of bismuth-210 has a mean kinetic energy of 390 keV. (a) Find the de Broglie wavelength of
Sauron [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mean kinetic energy of the emitted electron, E=390\ keV=390\times 10^3\ eV

(a) The relation between the kinetic energy and the De Broglie wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meE}}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 390\times 10^3}}

\lambda=1.96\times 10^{-12}\ m

(b) According to Bragg's law,

n\lambda=2d\ sin\theta

n = 1

For nickel, d=0.092\times 10^{-9}\ m

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\lambda}{2d})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{-12}}{2\times 0.092\times 10^{-9}})

\theta=0.010^{\circ}

As the angle made is very small, so such an electron is not useful in a Davisson-Germer type scattering experiment.

A wheel of radius R, mass M, and moment of inertia I is mounted on a frictionless, horizontal axles. A light cord wrapped around
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

\alpha =\frac{m*g*R}{I-m*R^2}

a = \frac{m*g*R^2}{I-m*R^2}

T=\frac{I*m*g}{I-m*R^2}

Explanation:

By analyzing the torque on the wheel we get:

T*R=I*\alpha    Solving for T:   T=I/R*\alpha

On the object:

T-m*g = -m*a    Replacing our previous value for T:

I/R*\alpha-m*g = -m*a

The relation between angular and linear acceleration is:

a=\alpha*R

So,

I/R*\alpha-m*g = -m*\alpha*R

Solving for α:

\alpha =\frac{R*m*g}{I+m*R^2}

The linear acceleration will be:

a =\frac{R^2*m*g}{I+m*R^2}

And finally, the tension will be:

T =\frac{I*m*g}{I+m*R^2}

These are the values of all the variables: α, a, T

How is the pressure of a gas related to its concentration of particles?A) Pressure will expand a gas, enlarging its volume and r
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

C) Pressure will compress a gas, reducing its volume and giving it a greater density and concentration of particles.

Explanation:

At constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely related.

P V = constant

\Rightarrow P \propto \frac{1}{V}

As the pressure increases, the gas compresses, the particles come closer reducing the volume of gas.

As we know, with decrease in volume, density increases.

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Density \propto \frac{1}{Volume}

Thus, the pressure of a gas is directly related to concentration of particles. Increase in pressure causes increase in concentration of the particles.

How would you describe the difference between momentum and angular momentum?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Analogous

Explanation:

Momentum is linear

Angular momentum is spinning

momentum is based on the mass and has no geometric component.

Angular momentum is based on moment of inertia and greatly depends on how far the mass is from the center of spin.

A series R-L-C circuit is connected to a 70.0 Hz ac source that has Vrms = 80.0 V . The circuit has a resistance of 80.0 Ω and a
Andreyy89

Answer:

62.7 VA

Explanation:

The apparent power (power supplied by the source) of an AC circuit is determined by

S = \frac{(Vrms)^2}{Z}

The impedance(Z) depends on the frequency, but in this case it is given to us that it is 102 ohms at this frequency.

So:

S = \frac{(80 V)^2}{102 \Omega} = 62.7 VA
