- A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen-16 from the much rarer oxygen-18, taken from a sample of old glacial ice. (The relative abundance of these isotopes is related to the climatic temperature at the time the ice was deposited.) The ratio of the masses of these two ions is 16 to 18, the mass of oxygen-16 is 2.66x10-26 kg, and they are singly charged ions. The ions travel at 5.00x106 m/s in a 1.20-T magnetic field. a.

- Common household electric current is called alternating current because the current alternates direction within the wires. The voltage V in a typical 115-volt outlet can be expressed by the function V(t) = 163 sin wt, where w is the angular speed (in radians per second) of the rotating generator at the electrical plant and t is the time measured in seconds. It is essential for electric generators to rotate at precisely 60 cycles per sec. Complete parts (a) and (b). (a) How many times does the current oscillate in 0.25 sec? 15 time(s) (b) What are the maximum and minimum voltages in this outlet? Is the voltage always equal to 115 volts? The maximum voltage is V and the minimum voltage is V.arrow_forwardprovides some pertinent background for this problem. Suppose a single electron orbits about a nucleus containing two protons (+2e), as would be the case for a helium atom from which one of the naturally occurring electrons is removed.
