A steady beam of alpha particles (q = + 2e, mass m = 6.68 × 10-27 kg) traveling with constant kinetic energy 22 MeV carries a cu

rrent of 0.27 µA. (a) If the beam is directed perpendicular to a flat surface, how many alpha particles strike the surface in 2.8 s? (b) At any instant, how many alpha particles are there in a given 16 cm length of the beam? (c) Through what potential difference in volts is it necessary to accelerate each alpha particle from rest to bring it to an energy of 22 MeV?

Answer:

Explanation:

q = 2e = 3.2 x 10^-19 C

mass, m = 6.68 x 10^-27 kg

Kinetic energy, K = 22 MeV

Current, i = 0.27 micro Ampere = 0.27 x 10^-6 A

(a) time, t = 2.8 s

Let N be the alpha particles strike the surface.

N x 2e = q

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = i t

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = 0.27 x 10^-6 x 2.8

N = 2.36 x 10^12

(b) Length, L = 16 cm = 0.16 m

Let N be the alpha particles

K = 0.5 x mv²

22 x 1.6 x 10^-13 = 0.5 x 6.68 x 10^-27 x v²

v² = 1.054 x 10^15

v = 3.25 x 10^7 m/s

So, N x 2e = i x t

N x 2e = i x L / v

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = 2.7 x 10^-7 x 0.16 / (3.25 x 10^7)

N = 4153.85

(c) Us ethe conservation of energy

Kinetic energy = Potential energy

K = q x V

22 x 1.6 x 10^-13 = 2 x 1.5 x 10^-19 x V

V = 1.17 x 10^7 V

One of the brightest nebulae in the night sky, the Orion Nebula may be seen with the unaided eye. The Trapezium is a young open cluster of four main stars in this magnitude 4 interstellar cloud of ionized atomic hydrogen.

<h3>What is the source of the Orion Nebula's crimson glow?</h3>
  • The hydrogen gas in the Orion Nebula, which is powered by radiation from young stars, gives off a crimson tint. The nebula's blue-violet regions are reflecting radiation from bright, blue-white O-type stars while the red areas are emitting light.
  • The Orion Nebula is one of many massive clouds of gas and dust in our Milky Way galaxy, say contemporary astronomers, and is one of the largest. It is approximately 1,300 light years away from Earth. This enormous hazy cocoon, which measures approximately 30 to 40 light-years in diameter, is generating potentially a thousand stars.

A. How far does a 100-newton force have to move to do 1,000 joules
Aloiza [94]

Work done by a force is given as the product of force and the distance moved by the force.

<h3>What is work done?</h3>

Work done is the product of force and the distance moved by the the force.

  • Work done = Force × distance

Thus, distance required by the 100 N force is given as:

  • Distance = work done/force

Distance = 1000/100 = 10 m

Distance to be moved is 10 m.

Force applied = work done/ distance

Force applied by the hoist = 500/2

Force applied by the hoist = 250 N

Distance moved in one push-up = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Work done by the athlete after one push-up = 250 × 0.25 m

Work done by the athlete = 62.5 J

Distance moved by the force = 0 m

Work done = 500 × 0 = 0 N

Therefore, for work to be done, force has to move a distance.

The first transistor, made of gold, plastic, and germanium (a metallic
Citrus2011 [14]

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was about the size of adult's fingernail.

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was invented in Bell laboratories. It is termed as point contact transistor. As it is made like a pointed arrow with both the sides covered with layer of gold foil. The germanium is used at the tip, just like the base and the gold foil ends as collector and emitter.

The size of this transistor is about the size of adult's fingernail. It is very small in size and it was one of its kind. Due to this small size and the working capacity by the point contact, it is termed as point contact transistor.

A 1100 kg car starts from rest and accelerates for 5 seconds at 4.6m/s/s how much power does the car generate
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The power expended by the car during the acceleration is 116.38KW

Explanation:

Power is a term that defines the rate at which energy is expended whenever work is done.

Power can be given as Force X velocity.

Force can be found using the formula:

F = mass X acceleration.

In this case,

F = 1100kg X 4.6m/s2

F = 5060 N

The final velocity, v of the car can be obtained from this formula:

v = u+ at

U = initial velocity = 0 (since the car started from rest)

a = acceleration = 4.6m/s2

t = time = 5 seconds

v = 0 + 4.6 X 5 = 23 m/s

Therefore, the power expended is 5060N X 23m/s=116,380W

The power expended by the car during the acceleration is 116.38KW
