Answer:

0.2\; {\rm T}, assuming that the speed of the electron stays the same.

Explanation:

Let v denote the speed of this electron. Let q denote the electric charge on this electron. Let m denote the mass of this electron.

Since the path of this electron is a circle (not a helix,) this path would be in a plane normal to the magnetic field.

Let B denote the strength of this magnetic field. The size of the magnetic force on this electron would be:

F = q\, v\, B.

Assuming that there is no other force on this electron. The net force on this electron would be F = q\, v\, B. By Newton's Second Law of motion, the acceleration of this electron would be:

\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{F}{m} \\ &= \frac{q\, v\, B}{m}\end{aligned}.

On the other hand, since this electron is in a circular motion with a constant speed:

\begin{aligned} a = \frac{v^{2}}{r} \end{aligned}.

Combine the two equations to obtain a relationship between r (radius of the path of the electron) and B (strength of the magnetic field:)

\begin{aligned}\frac{q\, v\, B}{m} = \frac{v^{2}}{r}\end{aligned}.

Simplify to obtain:

\begin{aligned}r &= \frac{m\, v^{2}}{q\, v\, B} \\ &= \frac{m\, v}{q\, B} \\ &= \left(\frac{m\, v}{q}\right)\, \frac{1}{B}\end{aligned}.

In other words, if the speed v of this electron stays the same, the radius r of the path of this electron would be inversely proportional to the strength B of the magnetic field. Doubling the radius of this path would require halving the strength of the magnetic field (to 0.2\; {\rm T}.)

A 55.0-kg skydiver drew falls for a period of time before opening his parachute. what is his kinetic energy when he reaches a ve
Jlenok [28]
Mass (m)=55kg

acceleration (a)=9.81 m/s^2, this is the acceleration due to gravity.

initial velocity=0m/s. The skydiver doesn’t start with any speed because she is on the plane or helicopter.

final velocity=16m/s This is the velocity (speed) the skydiver reaches

The equation we use is KE=.5mv^2
Kinetic energy=.5 mass x velocity^2

KE=.5(55kg)(16m/s)^2
KE=.5(55kg)(256m/s)
KE=.5(14080J)

J=Joules

KE=7040J

Kinetic energy is 7040 Joules (J)

Hope this helps

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Sound energy to electric energy - a person talking into a microphone

Radiant energy to electric energy - sunlight falling on solar panels

Gravitational potential energy to motion energy - a ball dropped from a height

Explanation:

A person talking is the sound energy and going into an electric phone

Sunlight or Radiant energy falls onto the solar panels creating electric energy

The ball is being pulled down by gravity from a certain height, going down to the ground, it’s motion, falling

In designing a backyard water fountain, a gardener wants to stream of water to exit from the bottom of one tub and land in a sec
mote1985 [20]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of movement description.

From the definition we know that the speed of a body can be described as a function of gravity and height

V = \sqrt{2gh}

V = \sqrt{2*9.8*0.15}

V = 1.714m/s

Then applying the kinematic equation of displacement, the height can be written as

H = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

Re-arrange to find t,

t = \sqrt{2\frac{h}{g}}

t = \sqrt{2\frac{0.5}{9.8}}

t = 0.3194s

Thus the calculation of the displacement would be subject to

x = vt

x =1.714*0.3194

x = 0.547m

Therefore the required distance must be 0.547m

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

(a) v = \sqrt{ mv_0^2 - 2gL(1-\cos(\theta))}

(b) \theta = \arccos(\frac{2gL-v_0^2}{2gL})

(c) E_{total} = \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2

Explanation:

(a) The total mechanical energy of the system is conserved.

K_A + U_A = K_B + U_B\\\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 + 0 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + mgh \\h = L - L\cos(\theta) = L(1 - \cos\theta)\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 - mgL(1-\cos(\theta))\\v^2 = mv_0^2 - 2gL(1-\cos(\theta))\\v = \sqrt{ mv_0^2 - 2gL(1-\cos(\theta))}

(b) The conservation of energy states

K_A + U_A = K_M + U_M\\\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 + 0 = 0 + mgL(1-\cos(\theta))\\1-\cos(\theta) = \frac{v_0^2}{2gL}\\\cos(\theta) = 1-\frac{v_0^2}{2gL} = \frac{2gL-v_0^2}{2gL}\\\theta = \arccos(\frac{2gL-v_0^2}{2gL})

(c) As explained in part (a) the total mechanical energy of the system is equal to the initial kinetic energy, since the potential energy of the system at that point is zero.

E_{total}= K_A + U_A = K_A + 0\\E_{total} = \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2
