Determine the energy required to accelerate an electron between each of the following speeds. (a) 0.500c to 0.900c MeV (b) 0.900
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The energy required to accelerate an electron is 0.582 Mev and 0.350 Mev.

Explanation:

We know that,

Mass of electron m_{e}=9.11\times10^{-31}\ kg

Rest mass energy for electron = 0.511 Mev

(a). The energy required to accelerate an electron from 0.500c to 0.900c Mev

Using formula of rest,

E=\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{f}^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{i}^2}{c^2}}}

E=\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.900c)^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.500c)^2}{c^2}}}

E=0.582\ Mev

(b). The energy required to accelerate an electron from 0.900c to 0.942c Mev

Using formula of rest,

E=\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{f}^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{i}^2}{c^2}}}

E=\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.942c)^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.900c)^2}{c^2}}}

E=0.350\ Mev

Hence, The energy required to accelerate an electron is 0.582 Mev and 0.350 Mev.

A 25N force is acting on a body moving on a straight line with Initial momentum 20 kam's. Find the final momentum after 4 second
Nezavi [6.7K]

The final momentum of the body is equal to 120 Kg.m/s.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

Momentum can be described as the multiplication of the mass and velocity of an object. Momentum is a vector quantity as it carries magnitude and direction.

If m is an object's mass and v is its velocity then the object's momentum p is: {\displaystyle \mathbf {p} =m\mathbf {v} . The S.I. unit of measurement of momentum is kg⋅m/s, which is equivalent to the N.s.

Given the initial momentum of the body = Pi = 20 Kg.m/s

The force acting on the body, Pf = 25 N

The time, Δt = 4-0 = 4s

The Force is equal to the change in momentum: F ×Δt = ΔP

25 × 4 = P - 20

100 = P - 20

P = 100 + 20 = 120  Kg.m/s

Therefore, the final momentum of a body is 120 Kg.m/s.

In a uranium fission reaction, uranium splits into two smaller atoms and energy. Where did the energy come from?
postnew [5]

Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

From Einstein's mass-energy relation:

E = mc²

Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.

When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.
