A 2.50-kg metallic ball at rest is being pulled by a strange magnetic field of a comet. The force exerted by the comet (in newtons) is given by the function F (r) = –kre-r, where: r: Distance from the comet's surface to the metallic ball, in meters. k =8.00 N m2 a = 2.00 m 1 The metallic ball starts at a distant enough position from the comet such that the force is zero, then starts moving towards the comet. 1. What is the potential function U (r) of the comet? Use the condition U (ro) = lim, 00 U (r) = 0. 2. What is the metallic ball's speed (in m/s) once the steel ball is one meter above the comet? Justify your answer using your rationale and equations used.

What is the magnetic-field strength in a region where the magnetic-energy density is 7.8 J/cm3 ?
A cyclotron is a machine that can be used to accelerate charged particles to achieve large kinetic energies. The resulting beams of highly energetic particles then can be used for many medical applications, including Proton Therapy (a more precise form of "radiation" used in the treatment of some cancers). A description of the cyclotron can be found in section 19.3 of the text. If a proton (of mass 1.673x10-27kg) is accelerated to its maximum velocity inside a dee with radius 1.32cm (this is the radius you would use for the "r" term in the centripetal acceleration), and if the magnetic field has a magnitude of 1.84x10-2T, what is the resulting velocity of the proton in units of km/s (kilometer per second)?
A charged particle moves into a region of uniform magnetic field, goes through half a circle, and then exits that region. The particle is either a proton or an electron (you must decide which). It spends 130 ns in the region. What is the magnitude of B? Give your answer in T.

At the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) facility on Long Island, NY, they accelerate gold nuclei (79 protons with a total mass of 3x10-25 kg) with a very strong magnetic field (the proton has a charge of 1.6x10-19 C). If the magnetic field were 2 Tesla, what would be the cyclotron radius of the circular loop that the nuclei circle around in, assuming they go at about the speed of light, 3x108 m/s? (note, in real life, the RHIC collider is considerably larger than this because of relativistic effects!) a. 1.5 m b. 2.5 m c. 3.5 m d. 4.5 m

A power line for a light-rail system carries 1000A at an angle of 30 degrees to the Earth’s 5x10-5T field. What is the force on a 10,000 cm section of this line?
The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory once held the world record for creating the strongest magnetic field. For brief periods of time, their largest multi-shot pulsed magnet can produce magnetic fields in excess of 85 T. To see if such a strong magnetic field could pose health risks for nearby workers, calculate the maximum acceleration amax the field could produce for Nat ions (of mass 3.8 x 10-26 kg) in blood traveling through the aorta. The speed of blood is highly variable, but 45 cm/s is reasonable in the aorta. m/s? Amax =
A cyclotron used to accelerate protons has a uniform magnetic field of 0.69 T. What is the frequency at which the potential difference between the dees must oscillate? (Your result must be in units of MHz's. Include 1 digit after the decimal point and maximum of 3% of error is accepted in your answer. Take elementary charge 1.6 x 10 -19 C, mass of proton 1.67 x 10 -27 kg and π = 3.14.)
