Concept explainers
An alpa particle travels at a velocity ѵ of magnitude 550 m/s through a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.045 T. (An alpha particle has a charge of +3.2 × 10−19 C and a mass of 6.6 × 10−27 kg.) The angle between
and
is 52°. What is the magnitude of (a) the force
acting on the particle due to the field and (b) the acceleration of the particle due to
? (c) Does the speed of the particle increase, decrease, or remain the same?

Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes. How old is Rick when his brother dies?arrow_forward
