End-of-theme questions – Pages 584–585


1 a. The velocity of the planet is constantly changing, and its acceleration is directed towards the centre
of the orbit, so there must be a force directed towards the centre.
b. 8.8 × 1023 N

c. i.
ii. 9.9 × 104 m s–1
2 a. i. gravitational attraction of Mars
ii. the force is perpendicular to the velocity
b. i. The centripetal acceleration is provided by the gravitational force so

which leads to

ii. 6.4 × 1023 kg


c. 7.4 × 1024 kg

3 a.

b. i.
ii. The electron moves away from the point charge with decreasing acceleration and increasing speed.
4 a. Initially, the magnetic force is directed to the left. This is perpendicular to the velocity of the proton so
its direction of motion will change but not the speed. The force will remain constant in magnitude and
provide the centripetal acceleration.

b. i.
ii. 1.9 × 10–7 s
c. The change in the kinetic energy is equal to the work done by the net force; in this case the force is
perpendicular to the velocity so the work done is zero.

ii.

c. i. 0.80 V
ii. 1.3 N
d. i. E = fvt = 1.3 × 0.20 × 0.50 = 0.13 J
ii. 1.9 × 10–2 K

6 a.
b. i. electrons leave the small sphere, making it positively charged.
ii. q1 = 12 µC, q2 = 6.0 µC
7 a. The magnet gets closer to the ring so the magnetic field at the position of the ring is increasing.
b. Diagram showing an arrow going anticlockwise.
c. The induced magnetic field is upwards, so the force in the magnet is repulsive.
