The tension in the string B) It quadruples.

Explanation:

The ball is in uniform circular motion in a horizontal circle, so the tension in the string is providing the centripetal force that keeps the ball in circular motion. So we can write:

T= m\frac{v^2}{r}

where:

T is the tension in the string

m is the mass of the ball

v is the speed of the ball

r is the radius of the circle (the lenght of the string)

In this problem, we are told that the speed of the ball is doubled, so

v' = 2v

Substituting into the previous equation, we find the new tension in the string:

T' = m \frac{(2v)^2}{r}=4(m\frac{v^2}{r})=4T

Therefore, the tension in the string will quadruple.

A linear accelerator produces a pulsed beam of electrons. The pulse current is 0.50 A, and the pulse duration is 0.10 μs. (a) Ho
Crank

Answer:

a)N = 3.125 * 10¹¹

b) I(avg)  = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵A

c)P(avg) = 1250W

d)P = 2.5 × 10⁷W

Explanation:

Given that,

pulse current is 0.50 A

duration of pulse Δt = 0.1 × 10⁻⁶s

a) The number of particles equal to the amount of charge in a single pulse divided by the charge of a single particles

N = Δq/e

charge is given by Δq = IΔt

so,

N = IΔt / e

N = \frac{(0.5)(0.1 * 10^-^6)}{(1.6 * 10^-^1^9)} \\= 3.125 * 10^1^1

N = 3.125 * 10¹¹

b) Q = nqt

where q is the charge of 1puse

n = number of pulse

the average current is given as I(avg) = Q/t

I(avg) = nq

I(avg) = nIΔt

         = (500)(0.5)(0.1 × 10⁻⁶)

         = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵A

C)  If the electrons are accelerated to an energy of 50 MeV, the acceleration voltage must,

eV = K

V = K/e

the power is given by

P = IV

P(avg) = I(avg)K / e

P(avg) = \frac{(2.5 * 10^-^5)(50 * 10^6 . 1.6 * 10^-^1^9)}{1.6 * 10^-^1^9}

= 1250W

d) Final peak=

P= Ik/e

= = P(avg) = \frac{(0.5)(50 * 10^6 . 1.6 * 10^-^1^9)}{1.6 * 10^-^1^9}\\2.5 * 10^7W

P = 2.5 × 10⁷W

The pressure of a sample of gas is measured as 49 torrent. Convert this to atmosphere ​
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

P = 0.0644 atm

Explanation:

Given that,

The pressure of a sample of gas is measured as 49 torr.

We need to convert this temperature to atmosphere.

The relation between torr and atmosphere is as follow :

1 atm = 760 torr

1 torr = (1/760) atm

49 torr = (49/760) atm

= 0.0644 atm

Hence, the presssure of the sample of gas is equal to 0.0644 atm.

What is necessary for a substance to be a conductor of electricity?
Stella [2.4K]
The main requirement for a good conductor of electricity is to have a lot of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons of the outer shells of atoms not bound with other atoms (for example through covalent bounds). These electrons are "free to escape" as soon as an electric field with enough intensity is applied to the material, and therefore these electrons will be free to move in the material producing an electric current.
