Two particles a and b with same charge q and same mass m move uniformly in a circular orbit around a stationary particle with a charge Q. If a has a speed Va=4m/s and radius Ra=6m, what is the radius of the orbit Rb of b if its speed is Vb=8m/s?

Expert Solution

here,

for a moving charges particle in magnetic feild

the radius of orbit , r = m * v /( q * B)

Va = 4 m/s has radius of orbit Ra = 6 m

Vb = 8 m/s

let the radius of orbit for particle b be Rb

we can write

Rb /Ra = (m * Vb/(q B)) / (m * Va /(q * B))

Rb /6 = 8/4

Rb = 12 m

the radius of orbit is 12 m

Two billiard balls with the same mass m move in the direction of one another. Ball one travels in the positive x-direction with a speed of V1i, and ball two travels in the negative x-direction with a speed of V2i.

A negative charge, -q, has a mass, m, and an initial velocity, v, but is infinitely far away from a fixed large positive charge of +Q and radius R such that if the negative charge continued at constant velocity it would miss the center of the fixec charge by a perpendicular amount b. But because of the Coulomb attraction between the two charges the incoming negative charge is deviated from its straight line course and attracted to the fixed charge...

Consider a completely elastic head-on collision between two particles that have the same mass and the same speed.

Consider a completely elastic head-on collision between two particles that have the same mass and the same speed. What are the velocities after the collision? The magnitudes of the velocities are the same but the directions are reversed. One of the particles continues with the same velocity, and the other reverses direction at twice the speed. Both are zero. One of the particles continues with the same velocity, and the other comes to rest. More information is required to determine the final velocities.
