A cosmic ray electron moves at 7 . 50 × 10 6 m/s size 12{7 "." "50" times "10" rSup { size 8{6} } `"m/s"} {} perpendicular to the Earth’s magnetic field at an altitude where field strength is 1 . 00 × 10 5 T size 12{1 "." "00" times "10" rSup { size 8{ - 5} } `T} {} . What is the radius of the circular path the electron follows?

A proton moves at 7 . 50 × 10 7 m/s size 12{7 "." "50" times "10" rSup { size 8{7} } `"m/s"} {} perpendicular to a magnetic field. The field causes the proton to travel in a circular path of radius 0.800 m. What is the field strength?

(a) Viewers of Star Trek hear of an antimatter drive on the Starship Enterprise . One possibility for such a futuristic energy source is to store antimatter charged particles in a vacuum chamber, circulating in a magnetic field, and then extract them as needed. Antimatter annihilates with normal matter, producing pure energy. What strength magnetic field is needed to hold antiprotons, moving at 5 . 00 × 10 7 m/s size 12{5 "." "00" times "10" rSup { size 8{7} } `"m/s"} {} in a circular path 2.00 m in radius? Antiprotons have the same mass as protons but the opposite (negative) charge. (b) Is this field strength obtainable with today’s technology or is it a futuristic possibility?

(a) 0.261 T

(b) This strength is definitely obtainable with today’s technology. Magnetic field strengths of 0.500 T are obtainable with permanent magnets.

(a) An oxygen-16 ion with a mass of 2 . 66 × 10 26 kg size 12{2 "." "66" times "10" rSup { size 8{ - "26"} } `"kg"} {} travels at 5 . 00 × 10 6 m/s size 12{5 "." "00" times "10" rSup { size 8{6} } `"m/s"} {} perpendicular to a 1.20-T magnetic field, which makes it move in a circular arc with a 0.231-m radius. What positive charge is on the ion? (b) What is the ratio of this charge to the charge of an electron? (c) Discuss why the ratio found in (b) should be an integer.

What radius circular path does an electron travel if it moves at the same speed and in the same magnetic field as the proton in [link] ?

4 . 36 × 10 4 m size 12{4 "." "36" times "10" rSup { size 8{ - 4} } " m"} {}

A velocity selector in a mass spectrometer uses a 0.100-T magnetic field. (a) What electric field strength is needed to select a speed of 4 . 00 × 10 6 m/s size 12{4 "." "00" times "10" rSup { size 8{6} } `"m/s"} {} ? (b) What is the voltage between the plates if they are separated by 1.00 cm?

An electron in a TV CRT moves with a speed of 6 . 00 × 10 7 m/s size 12{6 "." "00" times "10" rSup { size 8{7} } `"m/s"} {} , in a direction perpendicular to the Earth’s field, which has a strength of 5 . 00 × 10 5 T size 12{5 "." "00" times "10" rSup { size 8{ - 5} } `T} {} . (a) What strength electric field must be applied perpendicular to the Earth’s field to make the electron moves in a straight line? (b) If this is done between plates separated by 1.00 cm, what is the voltage applied? (Note that TVs are usually surrounded by a ferromagnetic material to shield against external magnetic fields and avoid the need for such a correction.)

(a) 3.00 kV/m

(b) 30.0 V

(a) At what speed will a proton move in a circular path of the same radius as the electron in [link] ? (b) What would the radius of the path be if the proton had the same speed as the electron? (c) What would the radius be if the proton had the same kinetic energy as the electron? (d) The same momentum?

A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen-16 from the much rarer oxygen-18, taken from a sample of old glacial ice. (The relative abundance of these oxygen isotopes is related to climatic temperature at the time the ice was deposited.) The ratio of the masses of these two ions is 16 to 18, the mass of oxygen-16 is 2 . 66 × 10 26 kg , size 12{2 "." "66" times "10" rSup { size 8{ - "26"} } `"kg"} {} and they are singly charged and travel at 5 . 00 × 10 6 m/s size 12{5 "." "00" times "10" rSup { size 8{6} } `"m/s"} {} in a 1.20-T magnetic field. What is the separation between their paths when they hit a target after traversing a semicircle?

0.173 m

(a) Triply charged uranium-235 and uranium-238 ions are being separated in a mass spectrometer. (The much rarer uranium-235 is used as reactor fuel.) The masses of the ions are 3 . 90 × 10 25 kg size 12{3 "." "90" times "10" rSup { size 8{ - "25"} } `"kg"} {} and 3 . 95 × 10 25 kg size 12{3 "." "95" times "10" rSup { size 8{ - "25"} } `"kg"} {} , respectively, and they travel at 3 . 00 × 10 5 m/s size 12{3 "." "00" times "10" rSup { size 8{5} } `"m/s"} {} in a 0.250-T field. What is the separation between their paths when they hit a target after traversing a semicircle? (b) Discuss whether this distance between their paths seems to be big enough to be practical in the separation of uranium-235 from uranium-238.

why is communication effective
Dakolo Reply
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
