The force an ideal spring exerts on an object is given by Fx = -kx, where x measures the displacement of the object from its equ

ilibrium (x = 0) position. If k = 60 N/m, how much work is done by this force as the object moves from x = -0.20 m to x = 0?

Answer:

The work done by this force can be found via the following formula

W = \int{F(x)} \, dx = \int\limits^0_{-20} {(-kx)} \, dx = \frac{-kx^2}{2}\left \{ {{x=0} \atop {x=-20}} \right. = \frac{-60*(-20)^2}{2} \\W = -12000J

Explanation:

Alternatively, the work done by the object is equal to the elastic potantial energy done by the spring.

U = \frac{1}{2}kx_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}kx_1^2 =0 - \frac{1}{2}60(-20)^2 = -12000J

In proton beam therapy, a beam of high-energy protons is used to kill cancerous cells in a tumor. In one system, the beam, which
Thepotemich [5.8K]

The number of protons that strike the tumor each second is 1.75 \times 10^8 protons.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Energy of proton = 2.8 \times 10^{-11} Joules.
  • Current = 84 nA to A = 84 \times 10^{-9} Ampere.
  • Energy of total dose = 3.4 \times 10^{-3} Joules.

<u>Scientific data:</u>

  • Charge of proton = 1.602 \times 10^{-19} C.

To determine the number of protons that strike the tumor each second:

<h3>How to determine the number of protons.</h3>

Mathematically, the quantity of charge per unit time is given by this formula:

Q =It=Ne\\\\N = \frac{Q}{e}

<u>Where:</u>

  • N is the number of protons.
  • t is the time measured in seconds.
  • I is the current.
  • e is the charge of protons.

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;

N=\frac{2.8 \times 10^{-11} }{1.602 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\N = 1.75 \times 10^{8}protons.

Describe the energy transfer when you touch a block of ice with your hand
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Thermal energy always flows from the warmer object to the colder object. This causes your hand to get cold, while the ice absorbs your heat and melts.
