<span>We need to calculate the number of seconds in one year. time = (365 days) (24 hours/day) (3600 seconds/hour) time = 31536000 seconds We can calculate the distance that light travels in this many seconds. distance = speed x time distance = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) (31536000 seconds) distance = 9.46 x 10^{15} meters A light year is 9.46 x 10^{15} meters</span>

A cyclotron is to accelerate protons to an energy of 5.4 MeV. The superconduction electromagnet of the cyclotron produces a 2.9T
mart [117]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Radius = 0.0818 m

Angular velocity = 2.775 × 10^7 rad/sec

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The mass of proton m=1.6748 × 10^-27 kg;  

Charge of electron e= 1.602 × 10^-19 C;  

kinetic energy E= 2.7 MeV

                          = 2.7 × 10^6 × 1.602 × 10^-19 J;

                          = 4.32 × 10^-13 Joules

But; K.E =0.5m*v^2,

Hence v=√(2K.E/m)

Velocity = 2.27 × 10^7 m/s

Angular velocity, ω = v/r

Therefore; V = ωr

Hence; V = √(2K.E/m) = ωr

r= √(2E/m)/w = √E*√(2*m)/(eB)

  = √E * √(2×1.6748×10^-27)/(1.602×10^-19 ×2.9)

but E =  4.32 × 10^-13 Joules

  r = 0.0818 m

Angular speed

Angular velocity, ω = v/r , where r is the radius and v is the velocity

Therefore;

Angular velocity = 2.27 × 10^7 / 0.0818 m

                            = 2.775 × 10^7 rad /sec

A redecor travelling of 94 m/s s lows at a anstant
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

638 m.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 94 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 22 m/s

Time (t) = 11 s

Distance (s) =?

We can obtain the distance travelled by using the following formula:

s = (u + v) t /2

s = (94 + 22) × 11 /2

s = 116 × 11 /2

s = 1276 /2

s = 638 m

Thus, the distance travelled is 638 m.

A uniform brick of length 18 m is placed
yuradex [85]

Answer:

13.5

Explanation:

x= Length

.5 = Center Point

x=0.5(9)= 4.5

So total length over the edge will be given as

Length (L) =9+4.5=13.5
