- Check Your Understanding What is if v=0.650c?arrow_forward(a) Viewers of Star Trek have heard of an antimatter drive on the Starship Enterprise. One possibility for such a futuristic energy swore is to store antimatter charged particles in a vacuum chamber, circulating in a magnetic field, and then exact them as needed Antimatter annihilates normal matter, producing pure energy. What strength magnetic field is needed to hold antiprotons, moving at 5.0 × l0 m/s in a circular path 2.00 m in radius? Antiprotons have the same mass as protons but the opposite (negative) charge. (b) Is this field strength obtainable with today’s technology or is it a futuristic possibility?arrow_forwardCosmic rays are high-energy charged particles produced by astronomical objects. Many of the cosmic rays that make their way to the Earth are trapped by the Earths magnetic field and never reach the surface. These trapped cosmic rays are found in the Van Allen beltsdonut-shaped zones over the Earths equator (Fig. 30.34). These cosmic rays are mostly protons with energies of about 30 MeV. The inset in the figure shows a cosmic ray proton as it is about to enter the Earths magnetic field. The cosmic rays velocity is initially perpendicular to the field. Three students discuss what happens to the incoming cosmic ray. Decide which student or students are correct. Figure 30.34 The Van Allen belts are donut-shaped zones of trapped cosmic rays above the Earths surface. Inset: What happens to this cosmic ray as it enters the Earths magnetic field? Shannon: The velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field, so the cosmic ray just passes through the field and hits the Earths atmosphere. Avi: What you are saying is that the magnetic field exerts no force on the cosmic ray. Actually, it exerts a huge force because the velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field. The force will be into the page. Cameron: Avi is right. The cosmic ray proton is going to feel a huge magnetic force. Because it is positively charged, it will be pushed upward along the magnetic field lines. Shannon: I never said the force was zero. There is a force, but the force is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. In this case, thats to the lefttoward the Earth. Avi: The force is perpendicular to the magnetic field, but it also has to be perpendicular to the velocity. Because B and v are both in the plane of the page, the force must be perpendicular to the page.arrow_forward
