The mass of the ion is 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

The electrical energy given to the ion Vq will be changed into kinetic energy \frac{1}{2}mv^2

As the ion moves with velocity v in a magnetic field B then the magnetic Lorentz force Bqv will be balanced by centrifugal force \frac{mv^2}{r}.

So,

Vq = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

and

Bqv = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Right from these eliminating v, we can derive

m = \frac{B^2r^2q}{2V}

On substituting the value, we get:

m = \frac{(0.4)^2X (0.305)^2 X1.602X 10^-^1^9}{2X 2000}\\\\

m = 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg.

According to the law of conservation of energy, mechanical energy can be changed to heat energy.
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in this explanation section.

Explanation:

                     " law of conservation of energy"

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed only converted from one form of energy into another.This mean that a system always has a same account of a energy,unless it is added from the outside.This is particularly confusing in the case of non conversation forces,where energy is converted from ,mechanical energy into thermal energy.but the overall energy does remain the same.The only way to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.

The amount of energy in any system than it is determined by the following equation.

Ut=Ui +W+Q

  • Ut is the total internal energy of a system.
  • Ui is the initial internal energy of a system.
  • W is the work done by or on the system.
  • Q is the heat added to or removed by the system.

It is also possible to determined the change in internal energy of the system using the equation.

ΔU=W+Q

The mechanical energy of a system increases provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.The energy would transform to kinetic energy when the speed is increasing.Te mechanical energy of a system remain constant provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.

The law of conversation of energy which say that in a closed system total energy is conserved that is it constant.

KE1 + PE1=KE2+PE2

Why doesn’t a machine that increases force break the law of conservation of energy?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

A machine in which work input equals work output. energy can be used to do work, work can be used to transfer energy. The change in the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the net work done on the object.

hope this helps

Distinguish between basic and derived units
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Base units are defined units based on specific objects or events in the physical world. Derived units are defined by combining base units.

Base units are defined by a particular process of measuring a base quantity whereas derived units are defined as algebraic combinations of base units. For example, length is a base quantity in both SI and the English system, but the meter is a base unit in the SI system only.

A driver is traveling eastward on a dirt road when she spots a pothole ahead. She slows her car from 14.0 m/s to 5.5 m/s in 6.0
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

- 1.42m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity of a body with respect to time.

Acceleration = change in velocity/time

Change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

Acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity/time

Since she slows her car from 14.0 to 5.5m/s in 6seconds,

Initial velocity = 14m/s

Final velocity = 5.5m/s

Time = 6seconds

Substituting in the given formula, we will have

Acceleration = 5.5 - 14/6

Acceleration = - 8.5/6

Acceleration = - 1.42m/s²

The negative acceleration shows that the car decelerates.
