hodyreva [135]

-- reduce the length of a wire to 1/2 . . . cut the resistance in half

-- reduce the diameter to 1/4 . . . reduce the cross-section area by (1/4²) . . . increase the resistance by 16x .

-- R2 = (R1) · (1/2) · (16) = 8 · R1

Which is larger: a megawatt or a kilowatt? how many times larger is it

Mandarinka [93]

A megawatt is larger than a kilowatt. The scientific notation for kilo is 10 to the 3, meaning 1000. A mega is 10 to the 6, meaning one million. That means a kilo watt is a thousand watts, and mega is a million watts

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

a) $v = c \cdot 0.04 = 1.2\cdot 10^{7} m/s$

b) $v = c \cdot 0.71 = 2.1\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

c) $v = c \cdot 0.994 = 2.97\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

d) $v = c \cdot 0.999 = 2.997\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

e) $v = c \cdot 0.9999 = 2.999\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

Explanation:

At that energies, the speed of proton is in the relativistic theory field, so we need to use the relativistic kinetic energy equation.

$KE=mc^{2}(\gamma -1) = mc^{2}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\beta^{2}}} -1)$ (1)

Here β = v/c, when v is the speed of the particle and c is the speed of light in vacuum.

Let's solve (1) for β.

$\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{KE}{mc^{2}}+1 \right )^{2}}}$

We can write the mass of a proton in MeV/c².

$m_{p}=938.28 MeV/c^{2}$

Now we can calculate the speed in each stage.

a) Cockcroft-Walton (750 keV)

$\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{0.75 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}$

$\beta = 0.04$

$v = c \cdot 0.04 = 1.2\cdot 10^{7} m/s$

b) Linac (400 MeV)

$\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{400 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}$

$\beta = 0.71$

$v = c \cdot 0.71 = 2.1\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

c) Booster (8 GeV)

$\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{8000 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}$

$\beta = 0.994$

$v = c \cdot 0.994 = 2.97\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

d) Main ring or injector (150 Gev)

$\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{150000 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}$

$\beta = 0.999$

$v = c \cdot 0.999 = 2.997\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

e) Tevatron (1 TeV)

$\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{1000000 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}$

$\beta = 0.9999$

$v = c \cdot 0.9999 = 2.999\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

Have a nice day!
