A proton in a high-energy accelerator is given a kinetic energy of 50.0 GeV. Determine (a) the momentum and (b) the speed of the
koban [17]

(a) The momentum of the proton is determined as 5.17 x 10⁻¹⁸ kgm/s.

(b) The speed of the proton is determined as  3.1 x 10⁹ m/s.

<h3>Momentum of the proton</h3>

The momentum of the proton is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

  • m is mass of proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
  • v is speed of the proton = ?
<h3>Speed of the proton</h3>

v² = 2K.E/m

v² = (2 x 50 x 10⁹ x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)/(1.67 x 10⁻²⁷)

v² = 9.6 x 10¹⁸

v = 3.1 x 10⁹ m/s

<h3>Momentum of the proton</h3>

P = mv = (1.67 x10⁻²⁷ x 3.1 x 10⁹) = 5.17 x 10⁻¹⁸ kgm/s

Heat is conducted in the axial direction through a cylinder by heating one end. If the diameter of the cylinder is doubled (but
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question with the options

answer : Doubling the Diameter increases the heat transfer rate by a factor of 4  ( B )

Explanation:

The heat transfer in the axial direction of the cylinder can be calculated/determined as attached below

\frac{q_{2} }{q_{1} } = \frac{(2D)^2}{D^2}

q_{2} = 4q_{1}  ( This shows that Doubling the diameter increases the heat transfer rate by a factor of 4 )

How much will the top five winners of nasa’s design contest win?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

\$100,000

Explanation:

<em>The top 5 winners of NASA's design contest winner received amount of  </em>\$100,000<em> </em>(Dollar One hundred thousand)<em>. </em>The respected amount was divided into 5 parts as there were 5 winners as well.

So, the amount was divided among the winners are as follows:

<em>Winner 1 ⇒ </em>\$20,957.95

<em>Winner 2 ⇒ </em>\$20,957.24

<em>Winner 3 ⇒ </em>\$20,622.74

<em>Winner 4 ⇒ </em>\$19,580.97

<em>Winner 5 ⇒</em> \$17,881.10

Hence by adding all of the 5, we will get the answer, which is \$100,000.

In the circuit described by the diagram, which pair of resistors is connected in parallel?
scoundrel [369]

Option 4 ( R2 and R3 ) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • In the below given diagram, we can see a circuit diagram that has four resistors such as R1, R2, R3, and R4.
  • The opening of the circuit is noted as "a" and the ending is noted as "b".
  • By observing the above diagram, we can clearly see that R2 and R3 are the pair of resistors that are connected in a parallel manner.
  • Where all the other resistors such as R1 and R4 are neither connected in parallel nor in series.

Hence we can conclude that Resistor R2 and R3 are the ones that are connected in parallel.

What happens as a result of the pulses passing by each other?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

After pulses pass through each other, each pulse continues along its original direction of travel, and their original amplitudes remain unchanged.

Explanation:

Constructive interference takes place when two pulses meet each other to create a larger pulse.
