An alpha particle can be produced in certain radioactive decays of nuclei and consists of two protons and two neutrons. the particle has a charge of q = +2e and a mass of 4.00 u, where u is the atomic mass unit, with

1μ= 1.661×10^−27kg

suppose an alpha particle travels in a circular path of radius 4.50 cm in a uniform magnetic field with b = 1.20 t. calculate
(a) its speed.
(b) its period of revolution.
(c) its kinetic energy.
(d) the potential difference through which it would have to be accelerated to achieve this energy.

The 10-kg double wheel with radius of gyration of 125mm about o is connected to the spring of stiffness k = 600 n/m by a cord which is wrapped securely around the inner hub. if the wheel is released from rest on the incline with the spring stretched 225 mm, calculate the maximum velocity v of its center o during the ensuing motion. the wheel rolls without slipping

Dinate system, and a charge q = - 2.00 nc is placed s2 10 n> c. (a) what is the change in electric potential energy when the dipole moment of a molecule changes its orientation with respect to es from parallel to perpendicular? (b) at what absolute temperature t is the average translational kinetic energy 32 kt of a molecule equal to the change in potential energy calculated in part(: abovethistemperature, thermalagitationprevents the dipoles from aligning with the electric field.) placed in a uniform electric field e with magnitude 1.6 * 6 on the positive x-axis at x = 4.00 cm. (a) if a third charge q3 = +6.00 nc is now placed at the point x = 4.00 cm, y = 3.00 cm, find the x- and y-components of the total force exerted on this charge by the other two. (b) find the magnitude and direction of figure p21.62 ll uu 21.55 . torque on a dipole. an electric dipole with dipole moment ps is in a uniform external electric field es. (a) find the orientations of the dipole for which the torque on the dipole is zero. (b) which of the orientations in part (a) is stable, and which is unstable? (hint: consider a small rotation away from the equi- librium position and see what happens.) (c) show that for the stable orientation in part (b), the dipole’s own electric field tends to oppose the external field. 21.62 ..
