Rom4ik [11]2 years ago

7 0

Answer:

A wave can be thought of as a disturbance or oscillation that travels through space-time, accompanied by a transfer of energy. The direction a wave propagates is perpendicular to the direction it oscillates for transverse waves. A wave does not move mass in the direction of propagation; it transfers energy.

The force of friction occurs primarily because:

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes motion between any surfaces that are touching. Friction occurs because no surface is perfectly smooth Friction produces heat because it causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster and have more energy.

Which is not true of the Intertropical Convergence Zone?A) It features heavy precipitation B) It's where the trade winds collide

olasank [31]

<h2>Answer: C) It's a high-pressure zone with sinking air</h2>

Explanation:

The intertropical convergence zone is the region of the terrestrial globe where the trade winds of the northern hemisphere converge with those of the southern hemisphere.

It is characterized by being <u>a belt of low pressure</u> and inconsistent location around the equator constituted by ascending air currents, where large masses of warm and humid air converge from the north and south of the intertropical zone.

The reason of its inconsistent location is due to the movements of the Earth with the seasons, having as a consequence the amount variation of heat energy from the sun in this region.

The magnetic field in a cyclotron is 1.25 T, and the maximum orbital radius of the circulating protons is 0.40 m. (a) What is th

Darya [45]

Answer:

1.92 x 10⁻¹²J

Explanation:

The magnetic force from the magnetic field gives the circulating protons gives the particle the necessary centripetal acceleration to keep it orbiting round the circular path. And from Newton's second law of motion, the force(F) is equal to the product of the mass(m) of the proton and the centripetal acceleration(a). i.e

F = ma

Where;

a = $\frac{v^2}{r}$ [v = linear velocity, r = radius of circular path]

=> F = m $\frac{v^2}{r}$ ------------(i)

We also know that the magnitude of this magnetic force experienced by the moving charge (proton) in a magnetic field is given by;

F = q v B sin θ ----------(ii)

Where;

q = charge of the particle

v = velocity of the particle

B = magnetic field

θ = the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field.

Combining equations (i) and (ii) gives

m $\frac{v^2}{r}$ = q v B sin θ [θ = 90° since the proton is orbiting at the maximum orbital radius]

=> m $\frac{v^2}{r}$ = q v B sin 90°

=> m $\frac{v^2}{r}$ = q v B

Divide both side by v;

=> m $\frac{v}{r}$ = qB

Make v subject of the formula

v = $\frac{qBr}{m}$

From the question;

B = 1.25T

m = mass of proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg

r = 0.40m

q = charge of a proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C

Substitute these values into equation(iii) as follows;

v = $\frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(1.25)(0.4)}{(1.67*10^{-27})}$

v = 4.79 x 10⁷m/s

Now, the kinetic energy, K, is given by;

K = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²

m = mass of proton

v = velocity of the proton as calculated above

K = $\frac{1}{2}(1.67*10^{-27} * (4.79 * 10^7)^2 )$

K = 1.92 x 10⁻¹²J

The kinetic energy is 1.92 x 10⁻¹²J
