A magnetic field forces an electron to move in a circle with radial acceleration 3.0×1014m/s2in a particular magnetic field. (a) What is the speed of the electron if the radius of its circular path is15cm? (b)What is the period of the motion?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Speed of the electron is 6.7×106m/s.

b) Period of motion is1.4×10-7s.

Step by step solution

01

Given

1) Radial acceleration,a=3×1014m/s2

2) Radius of the circular path,

r=15cm=0.15m

02

Understanding the concept of centripetal acceleration

The centripetal acceleration of the object depends on the velocity and radius of the orbit. Using the equation of centripetal acceleration, we can calculate the speed of an electron moving in a circular direction. Using the value of the speed of an electron and the equation of period, we can find the period of motion of an electron.

Formula:

a=V2r …(¾±)

T=2Ï€rV …(¾±¾±)

03

(a) Calculate the speed of the electron if the radius of its circular path is 15cm

From equation (i), we can write,

a=V2r

By rearranging this equation, we get,

v=ar=3×1014m/s2×0.15m=6.7×106m/s

Therefore, the speed of electron is6.7×106m/s .

04

(b) Calculate the period of the motion

From equation (ii), we can write

T=2Ï€rV

Substitute the value of given radius and speed calculated in part (a), we get

T=2π×0.15m6.7×106m/s=1.4×10-7s

Therefore, the time period of rotation of electron is 1.4×10-7s.

Suppose that a shot putter can put a shot at the world-class speed15.00m/sand at a height of2.160m. What horizontal distance would the shot travel if the launch angleθois (a)45.00°and(b)42.00°? The answers indicate that the angle of45°, which maximizes the range of projectile motion, does not maximize the horizontal distance when the launch and landing are at different heights.

During volcanic eruptions, chunks of solid rock can be blasted out of the volcano; these projectiles are called volcanic bombs.Figure 4-51 shows a cross section of Mt. Fuji, in Japan. (a) At what initial speed would a bomb have to be ejected, at angleθ0=35°to the horizontal, from the vent at Ain order to fall at the foot of the volcano at B,at vertical distance h=3.30km and horizontal distanced=9.40km? Ignore, for the moment, the effects of air on the bomb’s travel. (b) What would be the time of flight? (c) Would the effect of the air increase or decrease your answer in (a)?
