Answer:

The value is R_f =  \frac{4}{5}  R

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  initial velocity of the  proton is v_o

    At a distance R from the nucleus the velocity is  v_1 =  \frac{1}{2}  v_o

    The  velocity considered is  v_2 =  \frac{1}{4}  v_o

Generally considering from initial position to a position of  distance R  from the nucleus

 Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that  

       \Delta  K  =  \Delta P

Here \Delta K is the change in kinetic energy from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

      \Delta K  =  K__{R}} -  K_i

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_1^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * (\frac{1}{2} * v_o )^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{4} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

And  \Delta  P is the change in electric potential energy  from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

          \Delta P =  P_f - P_i

Here  P_i is zero because the electric potential energy at the initial stage is  zero  so

             \Delta P =  k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}  - 0

So

           \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{4} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}  - 0

=>        \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *v_0^2 [ \frac{1}{4} -1 ]  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}

=>        - \frac{3}{8}  *  m  *v_0^2  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R} ---(1 )

Generally considering from initial position to a position of  distance R_f  from the nucleus

Here R_f represented the distance of the proton from the nucleus where the velocity is  \frac{1}{4} v_o

     Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that  

       \Delta  K_f  =  \Delta P_f

Here \Delta K is the change in kinetic energy from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus  , this is mathematically represented as

      \Delta K_f   =  K_f -  K_i

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_2^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * (\frac{1}{4} * v_o )^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{16} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

And  \Delta  P is the change in electric potential energy  from initial position to a  position of  distance R_f  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

          \Delta P_f  =  P_f - P_i

Here  P_i is zero because the electric potential energy at the initial stage is  zero  so

             \Delta P_f  =  k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }  - 0      

So

          \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{8} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }

=>        \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *v_o^2 [-\frac{15}{16} ]  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }

=>        - \frac{15}{32}  *  m  *v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f } ---(2)

Divide equation 2  by equation 1

              \frac{- \frac{15}{32}  *  m  *v_o^2 }{- \frac{3}{8}  *  m  *v_0^2  } }   =  \frac{k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f } }{k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R } }}

=>           -\frac{15}{32 } *  -\frac{8}{3}   =  \frac{R}{R_f}

=>           \frac{5}{4}  =  \frac{R}{R_f}

=>             R_f =  \frac{4}{5}  R

Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a layer of still air that is 1 mm thick, with an area of 1 m, for a temperature of
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The rate of heat conduction through the layer of still air is 517.4 W

Explanation:

Given:

Thickness of the still air layer (L) = 1 mm

Area of the still air = 1 m

Temperature of the still air ( T) = 20°C

Thermal conductivity of still air (K) at 20°C = 25.87mW/mK

Rate of heat conduction (Q) = ?

To determine the rate of heat conduction through the still air, we apply the formula below.

Q =\frac{KA(\delta T)}{L}

Q =\frac{25.87*1*20}{1}

Q = 517.4 W

Therefore, the rate of heat conduction through the layer of still air is 517.4 W

A 545-kg satellite is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height above Earth equal to Earth's mean radius. (a) Find the satelli
Art [367]

Answer

given,

mass of satellite = 545 Kg

R = 6.4 x 10⁶ m

H = 2 x 6.4 x 10⁶ m

Mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

height above earth is equal to earth's mean radius

a) satellite's orbital velocity

   centripetal force acting on satellite = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

     gravitational force = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}

    equating both the above equation

    \dfrac{mv^2}{r} = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}

      v = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}

      v = \sqrt{\dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}}{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6}}

          v = 5578.5 m/s

b) T= \dfrac{2\pi\ r}{v}

   T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}

   T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}

          T = 14416.92 s

          T = \dfrac{14416.92}{3600}\ hr

          T = 4 hr

c) gravitational force acting

  F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}

  F = \dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 545 \times 5.972 \times 10^{24} }{(6.46 \times 10^6)^2}

     F = 5202 N

If a player through a basketball to the target with an initial velocity of 17 m/s making an angle of 30 degrees with the horizon
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The final position made with the vertical is 2.77 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the ball, V = 17 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 30⁰

time of motion, t = 1.3 s

The vertical component of the velocity is calculated as;

V_y = Vsin \theta\\\\V_y = 17 \times sin(30)\\\\V_y = 8.5 \ m/s

The final position made with the vertical (Yf) after 1.3 seconds is calculated as;

Y_f = V_yt  - \frac{1}{2}g t^2\\\\Y_f = (8.5 \times 1.3 ) - (\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 1.3^2)\\\\Y_f = 11.05 \ - \ 8.281\\\\Y_f = 2.77 \ m

Therefore, the final position made with the vertical is 2.77 m.

A long, hollow, cylindrical conductor (inner radius 3.4 mm, outer radius 7.3 mm) carries a current of 36 A distributed uniformly
Elden [556K]

Answer:

a. B= 9.45 \times10^{-3} T

b. B= 0.820 T

c. B= 0.0584 T

Explanation:

First, look at the picture to understand the problem before to solve it.

a. d1 = 1.1 mm

Here, the point is located inside the cilinder, just between the wire and the inner layer of the conductor. Therefore, we only consider the wire's current to calculate the magnetic field as follows:

To solve the equations we have to convert all units to those of the international system. (mm→m)

B=\frac{u_{0}I_{w}}{2\pi d_{1}} =\frac{52 \times4\pi \times10^{-7} }{2\pi 1.1 \times 10^{-3}} =9.45 \times10^{-3} T\\

μ0 is the constant of proportionality

μ0=4πX10^-7 N*s2/c^2

b. d2=3.6 mm

Here, the point is located in the surface of the cilinder. Therefore, we have to consider the current density of the conductor to calculate the magnetic field as follows:

J: current density

c: outer radius

b: inner radius

The cilinder's current is negative, as it goes on opposite direction than the wire's current.

J= \frac {-I_{c}}{\pi(c^{2}-b^{2}  ) }}

J=\frac{-36}{\pi(5.33\times10^{-5}-1.16\times10^{-5}) } =-274.80\times10^{3} A/m^{2}

B=\frac{u_{0}(I_{w}-JA_{s})}{2\pi d_{2} } \\A_{s}=\pi (d_{2}^{2}-b^2)=4.40\times10^{-6} m^2\\

B=\frac{6.68\times10^{-5}}{8.14\times10^{-5}} =0.820 T

c. d3=7.4 mm

Here, the point is located out of the cilinder. Therefore, we have to consider both, the conductor's current and the wire's current as follows:

B=\frac{u_{0}(I_w-I_c)}{2\pi d_3 } =\frac{2.011\times10^-5}{3.441\times10^{-4}} =0.0584 T

As we see, the magnitud of the magnetic field is greater inside the conductor, because of the density of current and the material's nature.
