Newton’s second law is that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.

A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen-16 from the much rarer oxygen-18, taken from a sample of old glacial

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

0.092 m

Explanation:

A charged moving particle immersed in a region with magnetic field follows a circular trajectory at constant speed (uniform circular motion), since the magnetic forces acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle.

Since the magnetic force acts as centripetal force, we can write:

$qvB=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is its velocity

B is the strength of the magnetic field

m is the mass of the particle

r is the radius of the orbit

Solving the equation for r,

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}$

For the ion of oxygen-16, we have:

$m_A=2.66\cdot 10^{-26}kg$

$q_A = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ (it is singly charged)

$v_A=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s$

$B_A=1.30 T$

So the radius of its orbit is

$r_A=\frac{m_A v_A}{q_A B_A}=\frac{(2.66\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.371 m$

For the ion of oxygen-18, we have:

$m_B = \frac{18}{16}m_A = 2.99\cdot 10^{-26}kg$

$q_B = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ (it is singly charged)

$v_B=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s$

$B_B=1.30 T$

So the radius of its orbit is

$r_B=\frac{m_B v_B}{q_B B_B}=\frac{(2.99\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.417 m$

After each ion has travelled a semicircle, the separation between the two ions will be twice the difference in their radius, so:

$d=2(r_B-r_A)=2(0.417-0.371)=0.092 m$

A moving particle is subject to conservative forces only. When its kinetic energy decreases by 10 J, what happens to its mechani

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Its mechanical energy is the same.

Explanation:

If forces are only conservative, the mechanical energy will be the same.

It can be different if energy get transformed in another kind of energy like elastic energy for example, although the amount of energy is always the same.

If we just have mechanical energy not geting transformed we have:

Em=K+U

Em: Mechanical energy

K: Kinetic energý

U: Potential energy

Then if Kinetic energy decreases 10J, Potential energy will grow up 10J to keep the same amount of mechanical energy.

A vacuum tube can be used to__. A. change alternating current into direct current B. increase the strength of a signal.. C. turn

vesna_86 [32]

The correct answer of this question is : A) Change alternating current into direct current.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, we are given vacuum tube. Vacuum tube can be of various types. Normally it contains two electrodes called cathode and anode which are enclosed in an evacuated glass chamber . There are also other types of vacuum tubes which contain extra electrodes like control grid .

The vacuum tube can be used as a rectifier. It means that it can be used as an electronic device which will convert alternating current into direct current. It may be a half wave rectifier or a full wave rectifier. Actually the direct current obtained during the rectification of alternating current is pulsating in nature.

Hence, the correct answer is that a vacuum tube can be used to change alternating current into direct current.

A hammer is used to hit a nail into a board. Which statement is correct about the forces at play between the nail and the hammer

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Hewo My Lovelys!!

Answer is down below!!

Explanation:

The answer is C) The nail exerts an equal force on the hammer in the opposite direction.

Reason: The Newtons third law states that there is an equal an opposite reaction for every action. When hammer pushes the nail, the nail will push the hammer back in opposite direction. When the hammer hits a nail then nail will exert the equal and opposite force to the hammer. These both objects will exert force on each other in opposite directions.

Hope this helps!! =3

Have a great day, evening, of night!! <3
