Answer:

Compounds containing two elements (binary compounds) can either have ionic or covalent bonding. If a compound is made from a metal and a non-metal, its bonding will be ionic. If a compound is made from two non-metals, its bonding will be covalent.

Before entering the cyclotron, the particles are accelerated by a potential difference V. Find the speed v with which the partic

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Speed, $v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qV}{m}}$

Explanation:

The device which is used to accelerate charged particles to higher energies is called a cyclotron. It is based on the principle that the particle when placed in a magnetic field will possess a magnetic force. Just because of this Lorentz force it moves in a circular path.

Let m, q and V are the mass, charge and potential difference at which the particle is accelerated.

The work done by the particles is equal to the kinetic energy stored in it such that,

$qV=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

v is the speed with which the particles enter the cyclotron

So,

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qV}{m}}$

So, the speed with which the particles enter the cyclotron is $v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qV}{m}}$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

False, the radiation from food and medical procedures have very little consequences. The radiation from a nuclear power plant can kill people which makes it a very large problem if not contained properly.
