Answer:

the strength of the magnetic field is 3 x 10⁻⁵ T

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the cosmic ray, v = 5 x 10⁷ m/s

force experienced by the ray, f = 1.7 x 10⁻¹⁶ N

angle between the ray's velocity and the magnetic field, θ = 45⁰

The strength of the magnetic field is calculated as;

$F = qvB \ sin(\theta)\\\\B = \frac{F}{qv\times sin(\theta)} \\\\where;\\\\B \ is \ the \ strength \ of \ the \ magnetic \ field\\\\q \ is \ the \ charge \ of \ the \ cosmic \ ray \ proton = 1.602 \times 10^{-19} \ C\\\\B = \frac{1.7\times 10^{-16}}{(1.602 \times 10^{-19})\times (5\times 10^7) \times sin \ (45)} \\\\B = 3 \times 10^{-5} \ T$

Therefore, the strength of the magnetic field is 3 x 10⁻⁵ T

A series AC circuit contains a resistor, an inductor of 150 mH, a capacitor of 5.00 mF, and a generator with DVmax 5 240 V opera

yanalaym [24]

Given:

Inductance, L = 150 mH

Capacitance, C = 5.00 mF

$\Delta V_{max}$ = 240 V

frequency, f = 50Hz

$I_{max}$ = 100 mA

Solution:

To calculate the parameters of the given circuit series RLC circuit:

angular frequency, $\omega$ = $2\pi f = 2\pi \times50 = 100\pi$

a). Inductive reactance, $X_{L}$ is given by:

$\X_{L} = \omega L = 100\pi \times 150\times 10^{-3} = 47.12\Omega$

$X_{L} = 47.12\Omega$

b). The capacitive reactance, $X_{C}$ is given by:

$\X_{C} = \frac{1}{\omega C} = \frac{1}{2\pi fC} = \frac{1}{2\pi \times 50\times 5.00\times 10^{-3}} = 0.636\Omega$

$X_{C} = 0.636\Omega$

c). Impedance, Z = $\frac{\Delta V_{max}}{I_{max}} = \frac{240}{100\times 10^{-3}} = 2400\Omega$

$Z = 2400\Omega$

d). Resistance, R is given by:

$Z = \sqrt {R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})}$

$2400^{2} = R^{2} + (47.12 - 0.636)^{2}$

$R = \sqrt {5757839.238}$

$R = 2399.5\Omega$

e). Phase angle between current and the generator voltage is given by:

$tan\phi = \frac{X_{L} - X_{C}}{R}$

$\phi =tan^{-1}( \frac{X_{L} - X_{C}}{R})$

$\phi =tan^{-1}( \frac{47.12 - 0.636}{2399.5}) = tan^{-1}{0.0.01937}$

$\phi = 1.11^{\circ}$

A ball of mass m is thrown into the air in a 45° direction of the horizon, after 3 seconds the ball is seen in a direction 30° f

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Velocity (magnitude) is 98.37 m/s

Explanation:

We use the vertical component of the initial velocity, which is:

$v_{0y}=v_0*sin(45)=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}v_0$

Using kinematics expression of vertical velocity (in y direction) for an accelerated motion (constant acceleration, which is gravity):

$v_{y}=v_{0y}+a*t=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}v_0-9.8t$

Now we need to find $v_y$ as a function of $v_0$ . We use the horizontal velocity, which is always the same as follow:

$v_x=v_0cos(45\º)=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}v_0=v_{t=3}*cos(30\º) \\$

We know the angle at 3 seconds:

$v_y(t=3)=v_{t=3}*sin(30\º)\\v_{t=3}=\frac{v_y}{sin(30\º)}$

Substitute $v_{t=3}$ in $v_x$ and then solve for $v_y$

$\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}v_0=\frac{v_y*cos(30\º) }{sin(30\º)} \\v_y=\frac{\sqrt{6} }{6}v_0$

With this expression we go back to the kinematic equation and solve it for initial speed

$\frac{\sqrt{6} }{6} v_0 =\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}v_0-29.4\\v_0(\frac{\sqrt{6}-3\sqrt{2}}{6} )=-29.4\\v_0=98.37 m/s$
