91Ó°ÊÓ

When a particle with electric charge q moves with speed v in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field B ,there is a magnetic force at right angles to the motion with magnetic qvB ,and the particle moves n a circle of radius r (see Figure 5.77). This equation for the magnetic force is correct even if the speed is comparable to the speed of light. Show that

p=mv1-(|v→|/c)2=qBreven if is comparable to c.

This result is used to measure relativistic momentum: if the charge q is known, we can determine the momentum of a particle by observing the radius of a circular trajectory in a known magnetic field.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The relation p=mv1-(v→c)2is proved.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

The data is given is that an electric charge is.

Speed is and perpendicular magnetic force is Fmand the equation is

Fm=qvB

And the charge travels at a speed near to that of light.

02

The magnetic force equals the rate of momentum change

When the particle's speed approaches that of light, the relativistic momentum is measured. The magnetic field produces a net force that is equal to the rate of change in momentum.

Fnet=dp→dt

As a result, the net force matches the applied magnetic field, and the weight can be ignored. As a result, the magnetic force equals the rate of momentum change.

03

Evaluate the magnetic force equals the rate of momentum

The magnetic field produces a net force that is equal to the rate of change in momentum.

Fnet=dp→dt................(1)Fm=FnetqvB=dp→dt.................(2)

The speed of the charge is given by the formula v , and the speed is defined as the change in distance over time.

v=drdt

So, to get will be inserted our expression into equation (2).

qvB=dp→dtqBdrdt=dp→dtqBdr=dp

Integrate

p=qBr............(3)

04

The momentum technique at high speed

At high speeds, the relativistic momentum technique will be used, in which the particle's momentum is given by

p=γmv ………………… (4)

Where mis the particle's mass, v is its speed, and γis the relativistic factor that reflects the energy difference between motion and rest and is given by

γ=11-(v→/c)2

Whereis the speed of light, which is equal to3×108m/s. As a result, in equation (4), the relativistic momentum will take the form

p=11-(v→/c)2 ………………… (5)

Because equations (3) and (5) have the same left side, the charged particle's momentum is the same.

p=qBr=11-(v→/c)2

So, the relation is proved.

In outer space two identical spheres are connected by a taut steel cable, and the whole apparatus rotates about its centre. The mass of each sphere is 60kg. The distance between centres of the spheres is localid="1656673766602" 3.2m. At a particular instant the velocity of one of the spheres is (0,5,0)m/sand the velocity of the other sphere is (0,-5,0)m/s. What is the tension in the cable?

A planet orbits a star in an elliptical orbit. At a particular instant the momentum of the planet is (-2.6×1029,-1.0×1029,0)kg.m/s, and the force on the planet by the star is (-2.5×1022,-1.4×1023,0)N. Find F∥and F⊥.

P49 The Ferris wheel in Figure 5.80is a vertical, circular amusement ride with radius 10m . Riders sit on seats that swivel to remain horizontal. The Ferris wheel rotates at a constant rate, going around once in 10.5s. Consider a rider whose mass is 56kg .

(a) At the bottom of the ride, what is the rate of change of the rider's momentum? (b) At the bottom of the ride, what is the vector gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the rider?

(c) At the bottom of the ride, what is the vector force exerted by the seat on the rider?

(d) Next consider the situation at the top of the ride. At the top of the ride, what is the rate of change of the rider's momentum?

(e) At the top of the ride, what is the vector gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the rider?

(f) At the top of the ride, what is the vector force exerted by the seat on the rider?

A rider feels heavier if the electric, interatomic contact force of the seat on the rider is larger than the rider's weight mg (and the rider sinks more deeply into the seat cushion). A rider feels lighter if the contact force of the seat is smaller than the rider's weight (and the rider does not sink as far into the seat cushion).

(g) Does a rider feel heavier or lighter at the bottom of a Ferris wheel ride?

(h) Does a rider feel heavier or lighter at the top of a Ferris wheel ride?

In the 1970 sthe astronomer Vera Rubin made observations of distant galaxies that she interpreted as indicating that perhaps 90%of the mass in a galaxy is invisible to us ("dark matter"). She measured the speed with which stars orbit the center of a galaxy, as a function of the distance of the stars from the center. The orbital speed was determined by measuring the Doppler shift of the light from the stars, an effect that makes light shift toward the red end of the spectrum ("red shift") if the star has a velocity component away from us, and makes light shift toward the blue end of the spectrum if the star has a velocity component toward us.

She found that for stars farther out from the center of the galaxy, the orbital speed of the star hardly changes with distance from the center of the galaxy, as is indicated in Figure 5.79. The visible components of the galaxy (stars, and illuminated clouds of dust) are most dense at the center of the galaxy and thin out rapidly as you move away from the center, so most of the visible mass is near the center. (a) Predict the speed v ofa star going around the center of a galaxy in a circular orbit, as a function of the star's distance r from the center of the galaxy,assumingthat almost all of the galaxy's mass M is concentrated at the center.

(b) Construct a logical argument as to why Rubin concluded that much of the mass of a galaxy is not visible to us. Reason from principles discussed in this chapter, and your analysis of part (a). Explain your reasoning. You need to address the following issues: (i) Rubin's observations are not consistent with your prediction in (a). (ii) Most of the visible matter is in the center of the galaxy. (iii) Your prediction in (a) assumed that most of the mass is at the center.

This issue has not yet been resolved, and is still a current topic of astrophysics research. Here is a discussion by Rubin of her work: ''Dark Matter in Spiral Galaxies '' by Vera C. Rubin, Scientific American, June 1983 (96-108). You can find several graphs of the rotation curves for spiral galaxies on page 101 of this article.
