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

Answer

given,

mass of ball, m = 57.5 g = 0.0575 kg

velocity of ball northward,v = 26.7 m/s

mass of racket, M = 331 g = 0.331 Kg

velocity of the ball after collision,v' = 29.5 m/s

a) momentum of ball before collision

   P₁ = m v

   P₁ = 0.0575 x 26.7

   P₁ = 1.535 kg.m/s

b) momentum of ball after collision

   P₂ = m v'

   P₂ = 0.0575 x (-29.5)

   P₂ = -1.696 kg.m/s

c) change in momentum

    Δ P = P₂ - P₁

    Δ P = -1.696 -1.535

    Δ P = -3.231 kg.m/s

d) using conservation of momentum

  initial speed of racket = 0 m/s

  M u + m v = Mu' + m v

  M x 0 + 0.0575 x 26.7 = 0.331 x u' + 0.0575 x (-29.5)

  0.331 u' = 3.232

     u' = 9.76 m/s

change in velocity of the racket is equal to 9.76 m/s

Manuel is holding a 5 kg box. How much force us the box exerting on him? in what direction
Free_Kalibri [48]
It will be 49 Newtons of force in the down direction. To find the force in newtons, you multiply the mass (5 kg) by the gravity (which if 9.8).

The current in a lamp is 0.5 ampere when it is plugged into a standard wall outlet. What is the resistance of the lamp when it i
lidiya [134]

The resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms)

Explanation:

In the United States Of America the standard voltage is 120 v and their frequency is 60 Hz

Standard wall outlet voltage is 120 V

The current in the lamp is 0.5 ampere

Resistance (R) = V/ I

      = 120/0.5

      = 240Ω (ohms)

Thus the resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms).

The movement of the planets and other celestial bodies in the Solar System is caused by
Anvisha [2.4K]

The movement of the planets and other celestial bodies in the solar system is actually caused by the sun's gravitational pull or force.

Just like the moon orbits the earth because of the gravitational pull by the earth so does gravitational pull by the sun causes planets' and other celestial bodies' orbit.
