The magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field is about 0.5 gauss near Earth’s surface. What’s the maximum possible magnetic force on a

n electron with kinetic energy of 1 keV? Compare with the gravitational force on the electron.

Answer:

F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N

this force is 1.68 \times 10^{13} times more than the gravitational force

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy of the electron is given as

KE = 1 keV

KE = 1 \times 10^3 (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) J

KE = 1.6 \times 10^{-16} J

now the speed of electron is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{2 KE}{m}}

v = 1.87 \times 10^7 m/s

now the maximum force due to magnetic field is given as

F = qvB

F = (1.6\times 10^{-19})(1.87 \times 10^7)(0.5 \times 10^{-4})

F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N

Now if this force is compared by the gravitational force on the electron then it is

\frac{F}{F_g} = \frac{1.5 \times 10^{-16}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} (9.8)}

\frac{F}{F_g} = 1.68 \times 10^{13}

so this force is 1.68 \times 10^{13} times more than the gravitational force

A typical nuclear fission power plant produces about 1.00 GW of electrical power. Assume the plant has an overall efficiency of
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg

Explanation:

electrical power produced = 1 GW = 1 × 10⁹ × (6.24151 × 10¹⁸ ) eV

                                            = 6.24151× 10²¹ MeV/s

thermal energy =  0.420 * 250 = 105 MeV

\dfrac{1 GW}{150 MeV}= \dfrac{6.24151\times 10^{21}}{105}

                                      = 5.94 × 10¹⁹ fission/second

                                       =5.94 × 10¹⁹× 24 × 60 ×60)

                                      =  5.13 × 10²⁴ fission/day

mu = 235.04393 ×  1.660× 10 ⁻²⁷ = 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ Kg

M = mu ×5.13 × 10²⁴

   = 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ ×5.13 × 10²⁴

M   =  2 kg(approx.)

mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg

a current of 250 amps is flowing through a copper wire with resistance of 2.09 x 10^4 ohms. what is the voltage
Dima020 [189]

V = I · R

Voltage = (current) · (Resistance)

Voltage = (250 A) · (2.09 x 10⁴)

Voltage = 5,225,000 volts .

I may be out of line here, but I'm pretty sure
that the resistance is 2.09 x 10⁻⁴ .
Then

Voltage = 0.05225 volt (not 5 million and something)

How does the amount of acid rain in a area affect the land
Mice21 [21]
The ecological effects of acid rain are most clearly seen in aquatic environments, such as streams, lakes, and marshes where it can be harmful to fish and other wildlife. As it flows through the soil, acidic rain water can leach aluminum from soil clay particles and then flow into streams and lakes. The more acid that is introduced to the ecosystem, the more aluminum is released.

Some types of plants and animals are able to tolerate acidic waters and moderate amounts of aluminum. Others, however, are acid-sensitive and will be lost as the pH declines. Generally, the young of most species are more sensitive to environmental conditions than adults. At pH 5, most fish eggs cannot hatch. At lower pH levels, some adult fish die. Some acidic lakes have no fish. Even if a species of fish or animal can tolerate moderately acidic water, the animals or plants it eats might not. For example, frogs have a critical pH around 4, but the mayflies they eat are more sensitive and may not survive pH below 5.5.

Effects of Acid Rain on Plants and Trees:

Dead or dying trees are a common sight in areas effected by acid rain. Acid rain leaches aluminum from the soil. That aluminum may be harmful to plants as well as animals. Acid rain also removes minerals and nutrients from the soil that trees need to grow.
At high elevations, acidic fog and clouds might strip nutrients from trees’ foliage, leaving them with brown or dead leaves and needles. The trees are then less able to absorb sunlight, which makes them weak and less able to withstand freezing temperatures.
