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

serg [7]

The form of energy that can move from place to place across the universe is light energy. On earth, the main source of this energy is Sun. Most of the light energy comes from the sun because it is the primary source of all the energies. The food, fossil fuels, movement of winds, etc all exists due to Sun. Without sun, there won't be any light energy on the earth. In all the processes which occur on earth has a direct or indirect involvement of light energy which comes from sun.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

a) The distance of spectator A to the player is 79.2 m

b) The distance of spectator B to the player is 43.9 m

c) The distance between the two spectators is 90.6 m

Explanation:

a) Knowing the time it takes the sound to reach both spectators, we can calculate their position relative to the player, using this equation:

x = v * t

where:

x = position of the spectators

v = speed of sound

t = time

Then, the position for spectator A relative to the player is:

x = 343 m/s * 0.231 s = 79.2 m

b)For spectator B:

x = 343 m/s * 0.128 s

x = 43.9 m

The distance of spectator A and B to the player is 79.2 m and 43.9 m respectively.

c) To calculate the distance between the spectators, please see the attached figure. Notice that the distance between the spectators is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the sightline of both. We already know the longitude of the two sides. Then, using Pythagoras theorem:

(Distance AB)² = A² + B²

(Distance AB)² = (79.2 m)² + (43.9 m)²

Distance AB = 90. 6 m
