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

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

a)  Total mass form, density and axis of rotation location are  True

b)   I = m r²

Explanation:

a) The moment of inertia is the inertia of the rotational movement is defined as

       I = ∫ r² dm

Where r is the distance from the pivot point and m the difference in body mass

In general, mass is expressed through density

        ρ = m / V

        dm = ρ dV

From these two equations we can see that the moment of inertia depends on mass, density and distance

Let's examine the statements, the moment of inertia depends on

- Linear speed       False

- Acceleration angular False

-  Total mass form True

-  density True

- axis of rotation location   True

b) we calculate the moment of inertia of a particle

For a particle the mass is at a point whereby the integral is immediate, where the moment of inertia is

          I = m r²

If a sample emits 2000 counts per second when the detector is 1 meter from the sample, how many counts per second would be obser
Alona [7]

Answer:

<h2><em>6000 counts per second</em></h2>

Explanation:

If a sample emits 2000 counts per second when the detector is 1 meter from the sample, then;

2000 counts per second = 1 meter ... 1

In order to know the number of counts per second that would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample, we will have;

x count per second = 3 meter ... 2

Solving the two expressions simultaneously for x we will have;

2000 counts per second = 1 meter

x counts per second = 3 meter

Cross multiply to get x

2000 * 3 = 1* x

6000 = x

<em></em>

<em>This shows that 6000 counts per second would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample</em>

The band gab of semi conductor?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Properties of semiconductors are determined by the energy gap between valence and conduction bands. To understand, what is semiconductor, we have to define these terms. In solid-state physics, the energy gap or the band gap is an energy range between valence band and conduction band where electron states are forbidden.
