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

A small sphere has a harge of 9uC and other small sphere has a charge of 4uC.
Helga [31]

Answer:

Electrical force, F = 90 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on sphere 1, q_1=9\ \mu C=9\times 10^{-6}\ C

Charge on sphere 2, q_1=4\ \mu C=4\times 10^{-6}\ C

Distance between two spheres, d = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Let F is the electrical force between them. It is given by the formula of electric force which is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them such that,

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

F=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{9\times 10^{-6}\times 4\times 10^{-6}}{(0.06)^2}

F = 90 N

So, the electrical force between them is 90 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °c. at higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be
Scilla [17]
   <span> The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °C. At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be.....
a) higher, because the altitude is greater.
b) lower, because temperatures are lower.
c) the same, because water always boils at 100 °C.
d) higher, because there are fewer water molecules in the air.
==> e) lower, because the atmospheric pressure is lower.
--------------------------
Water boils at a lower temperature on top of a mountain because there is less air pressure on the molecules.

I hope this is helpful. </span>
