Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 69MSPP
Why is it important that the ions have a known speed?
A. The radius of the orbit depends on the mass, the charge, and the speed. If the charge and the speed are the same, the orbit depends on only the mass.
B. The orbit must be circular, and this is the case for only a certain range of speeds.
C. If the ions are moving too fast, the magnetic field will not be able to bend their path to the detector.
D. The ions are all accelerated by the same electric field, and so will all have the same speed anyway.

- You are a coach for the Physics Olympics team participating in a competition overseas. You are given the following sample problem to present to your team of students, which you need to solve very quickly: A person is standing on the midline of a soccer field. At one end of the field, as shown in Figure P24.28, is a letter D, consisting of a semicircular metallic ring of radius R and a long straight metal rod of length 2R, the diameter of the ring. The plane of the ring is perpendicular to the ground and perpendicular to the midline of the field shown by the broken line in Figure P24.28. Because of an approaching lightning storm, the semicircular ring and the rod become charged. The ring and the rod each attain a charge Q. What is the electric potential at point P, which is at a position x along the midline of the field, measured from the center of the rod, due to the letter D?

- CASE STUDY In Example 34.6 (page 1111), we imagined equipping 1950DA, an asteroid on a collision course with the Earth, with a solar sail in hopes of ejecting it from the solar system. We found that the enormous size required for the solar sail makes the plan impossible at this time. Of course, there is no need to eject such an object from the solar system: we only need to change the orbit. A much more pressing problem is Apophis, a 300-m asteroid that may be on a collision course with the Earth and is due to come by on April 13, 2029. It is unlikely to hit the Earth on that pass, but it will return again in 2036. If Apophis passes through a 600-m keyhole on its 2029 pass, it is expected to hit the Earth in 2036. causing great damage. There are plans to deflect Apophis when it comes by in 2029. For example, we could hit it with a 10- to 150-kg impactor accelerated by a solar sail. The impactor is launched from the Earth to start orbiting the Sun in the same direction as the Earth and Apophis. The idea is to use a solar sail to accelerate the impactor so that it reverses direction and collides head-on with Apophis at 8090 km/s and thereby keeps Apophis out of the keyhole. Consider the momentum in the impactors orbit (Fig. P34.75) when the solar sail makes an angle of = 60 with the tangent to its orbit. Current solar sails may be about 40 m on a side, but the hope is to construct some that are about 160 m on a side. Estimate the impactors tangential acceleration when it is about 1 AU from the Sun. Keep in mind that the sail is neither a perfect absorber nor a perfect reflector, and a heavier impactor would presumably be equipped with a larger sail. Dont be surprised by what may seem like a very small acceleration. FIGURE P34.75arrow_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_forwardProfessor Edward Ney was the founder of infrared astronomy at the University of Minnesota. In his later years, he wore an artificial pacemaker. Always an experimentalist, Ney often held a strong laboratory magnet near his chest to see what effect it had on his pacemaker. Perhaps he was using the magnet to throw switches that control different modes of operation. An admiring student (without an artificial pacemaker) thought it would be fun to imitate this great man by holding a strong magnet to his own chest. The natural pacemaker of the heart (known as the sinoatrial node) carries a current of about 0.5 mA. Estimate the magnetic force exerted on a natural pacemaker by a strong magnet held to the chest. How do you think the student might have felt during the experiment? Explain your geometric assumptions. Hints: See Table 30.1 (page 941) to estimate the magnetic field, and assume the field is roughly uniform. Use Figure P30.58 to estimate the size of the sinoatrial node; your heart is about the size of your fist. FIGURE P30.58arrow_forward
