Question

Transcribed Image Text:During a commercial on 23rd Century Netflix (in the future all TV is NetFlix), the announcer states that:
Thanks to the new and improved Magnetic Blanket® developed by the DuMidea TM corporation, you too can now feel safe from fleets of enemy vessels equipped with high velocity charged particle beam weapons!
B Field
beam returned
to aggressors!
R
Proton beam
You are concerned that the Anterian's new weapon might penetrate the Magnetic Blanket® and so you perform a calculation. The mass of a proton is m = 1.67e-27 kg it is positively charged with q = 1.602e-19 Coulombs. The Anterian weapon fires protons with a
velocity of 17500000 m/s toward your ship. The advertisement indicates that the new and improved Magnetic Blanket® generates a magnetic field of B = 3.0 Tesla.
Kg m/s
Calculate the momentum of a proton in this beam
Calculate the radius of the circle followed by the protons
The figure shows the proton beam bending in a particular direction. For this figure to be correct, which direction should the magnetic field be directed?
Toward the top of the screen.
Toward the left.
Out of the screen (toward you).
Toward the bottom of the screen.
Toward the right.
Into the screen (away from you).
The magnetic field of the new and improved Magnetic Blanket® extends out from your ship by L = 1.2 meters. If this is bigger than R, you are safe. If not, well..let's not describe it.
Are you safe?
Yes
O No
At the end of the ad a person rattles off a series of disclaimers. Which of these are proper disclaimers.
O Low energy charged particle beams penetrate the shield more easily than high energy beams.
O Consumers with pacemakers should not enter the magnetic field.
O The Magnetic Blanket® provides no protection against photon beams.
Space suits used while entering the field should be made of iron rather than aluminum.
The Magnetic Blanket® provides no protection against electron beams.
