Cold Atoms: When atoms are cooled to very low temperatures, they move very
slowly. At these low speeds, atoms can fall under their own weight.
A team of scientists is studying cold ions. Each ion has a mass of 1.91 x 10-25
kg, a
charge of 1.6 x 10-19 C, and an average velocity of 15.0 mm/s due north. The
scientists are trying to focus a beam of these atoms on a detector 1.000 m away.
However, gravity is deflecting the beam.
One scientist suggests using a magnetic field to counteract the force of gravity.
(a) What minimum magnetic field strength could counteract the force of gravity for
these particles?
(b) What direction should the field be oriented? Either describe the direction or draw
a picture that shows the velocity of the particles, the direction of gravity, and the
direction of the magnetic field.
Ignore the earth's magnetic field. It has eliminated by magnetic shielding around the
experimental setup.
An evacuated tube uses an accelerating voltage of 1.5 kV to accelerate a beam of electrons that hit a copper plate and generated x-rays. What is the maximum (non-relativistic) velocity of the electrons?
can u pls get the 3 decimal places in final answer of A and B pls thank u

Let the length of the plates be L = 50 cm, and the distance between them be d = 20 cm. Find the maximum speed, v, the electron could be moving if it enters the space halfway between and parallel to the two plates to just barely strike one of the plates. m/s If the field is pointing upward, which plate will Thana conclude the electron strikes at this speed? O The upper plate, because the electron charge magnitude is positive. O The upper plate, because we are only considering the magnitude of the electron charge, and magnitudes are always positive. O The lower plate, because the electron is attracted to the negative plate. O The lower plate, because the electron is negatively charged.arrow_forward
