The thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

<h3>Thickness of the aluminum</h3>

The thickness of the aluminum can be determined using from distance of closest approach of the particle.

$K.E = \frac{2KZe^2}{r}$

where;

Z is the atomic number of aluminium = 13
e is charge
r is distance of closest approach = thickness of aluminium
k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

<h3>For 2.5 MeV electrons</h3>

$r = \frac{2KZe^2}{K.E} \\\\r = \frac{2 \times 9\times 10^9 \times 13\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{2.5 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\r = 1.5 \times 10^{-14} \ m$

<h3>For 2.5 MeV protons</h3>

Since the magnitude of charge of electron and proton is the same, at equal kinetic energy, the thickness will be same. r = 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

<h3>For 10 MeV alpha-particles</h3>

Charge of alpah particle = 2e

$r = \frac{2KZe^2}{K.E} \\\\r = \frac{2 \times 9\times 10^9 \times 13\times (2 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{10 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\r = 1.5 \times 10^{-14} \ m$

Thus, the thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

It is desired to produce and aligned carbon fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a longitudinal tensile strength of 630 MPa. Calc

ratelena [41]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

Diameter (D) = 0.03 mm = 0.00003 m, length (L) = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, longitudinal tensile strength $(\sigma_{cd})=630\ MPa = 630*10^6\ Pa$ , Fracture strength

$(\sigma_f)=5100\ MPa=5100*10^6\ Pa,fiber-matrix\ stres(\sigma_m)=17.5\ MPa=17.5*10^6\ Pa,matrix\ strength=\tau_c=17\ MPa=17 *10^6\ Pa$

a) The critical length ( $L_c$ ) is given by:

$L_c=\sigma_f*(\frac{D}{2*\tau_c} )=5100*10^6*\frac{0.00003}{2*17*10^6}=0.0045\ m=4.5\ mm$

The critical length (4.5 mm) is greater than the given length, hence th composite can be produced.

b) The volume fraction (Vf) is gotten from the formula:

$\sigma_{cd}=\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}*V_f+\sigma_m(1-V_f)\\\\V_f=\frac{\sigma_{cd}-\sigma_{m}}{\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}-\sigma_{m}} \\\\Substituting:\\\\V_f=\frac{630*10^6-17.5*10^6}{\frac{0.0024*17*10^6}{0.00003} -17.5*10^6} \\\\V_f=0.456$
