Physics Aviary: Practice Problems: Mass and Speed of a Particle

Determine the mass and KE of a particle trapped in a magnetic field given the charge of the particle as well as the speed and strength of the field.

Determine the mass of two different isotopes of an element based on their deflection by a magnetic field.

This program asks students to determine the average KE of a gas molecule in a sample and then find the temperature of the particles that make up the sample based on the rms speed of the particles.

Students must find the force on one charge caused by a second charge.

Determine the speed of a particle that has been repelled away from another particle with the same type of charge.

This program asks students to determine the average KE of a gas molecule in a sample and then find the rms speed of the particles that make up the sample.

This program asks students to determine the pressure in a sample of gas based on the rms speed of the particles.

Students must calculate the distance an object will move up an incline using Newton's Laws. Mass, angle, gravitational field and initial speed will be generated randomly.

Students must calculate the speed of a block when it returns to its original location on an incline using Newton's Laws. Mass, angle, gravitational field, coefficient of friction and initial speed will be generated randomly.
