Chapter 8: Q. 44 (page 200)

A charged particle of mass m moving with speed v in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field experiences a force where q is the amount of charge and F⃗=(qvB,perpendiculartov⃗) , B is the magnetic field strength. Because the force is always perpendicular to the particle’s velocity, the particle undergoes uniform circular motion. Find an expression for the period of the motion. Gravity can be neglected.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Period is expressed as T=2πmqB

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given F⃗=(qvB,perpendiculartov⃗)

02

Explanation

As the particle is moving in circular motion, so

(mv2)r=qvB

Expressed as r

r=(mv2)qvB=mvqB..........................(1)

Time period for this revolutions is

T=2πrv

Substitute value of r from equation(1), we get

T=(2π/v)(mv/qB)T=2πmqB

A jet plane is flying on a level course at constant speed. The engines are at full throttle.

a. What is the net force on the plane? Explain.

b. Draw a free-body diagram of the plane as seen from the side with the plane flying to the right. Name (don’t just label) any and all forces shown on your diagram.

c. Airplanes bank when they turn. Draw a free-body diagram of the plane as seen from behind as it makes a right turn.

d. Why do planes bank as they turn? Explain.

A heavy ball with a weight of 100N (m=10.2kg) is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.5-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one side and released to swing as a pendulum, reaching a speed of 5.5m/s as it passes through the lowest point. What is the tension in the rope at that point?

Sam (75 kg) takes off up a 50-m-high, 10­ frictionless slope on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 200 N. He keeps his skis tilted at 10­o after becoming airborne, as shown in FIGURE CP8.66. How far does Sam land from the base of the cliff?

As a science fair project, you want to launch an 800g model rocket straight up and hit a horizontally moving target as it passes 30m above the launch point. The rocket engine provides a constant thrust of 15.0N. The target is approaching at a speed of 15m/s. At what horizontal distance between the target and the rocket should you launch?

A 100 g ball on a 60-cm-long string is swung in a vertical circle about a point 200 cm above the floor. The string suddenly breaks when it is parallel to the ground and the ball is moving
upward. The ball reaches a height 600 cm above the floor. What was the tension in the string an instant before it broke?
