To initiate a nuclear reaction, an experimental nuclear physicist wants to shoot a proton into a 5.50-fm-diameter 12C nucleus. T

he proton must impact the nucleus with a kinetic energy of 1.80 MeV. Assume the nucleus remains at rest.
Required:
a. With what speed must the proton be fired toward the target?
b. Through what potential difference must the proton be accelerated from rest to acquire this speed?

Answer:

Explanation:

kinetic energy required = 1.80 MeV

= 1.8 x 10⁶ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

= 2.88 x 10⁻¹³ J

If v be the velocity of proton

1/2 x mass of proton x v² = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

= .5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x v² = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

v² = 3.45 x 10¹⁴

v = 1.86 x 10⁷ m /s

If V be the potential difference required

V x e = kinetic energy . where e is charge on proton .

V x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

V = 1.8 x 10⁶ volt .

Steam enters a counterflow heat exchanger operating at steady state at 0.07 MPa with a specific enthalpy of 2431.6 kJ/kg and exi
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Steam Mass rate, ms = 1.5 kg/min

= 1.5 kg/min × 1 min/60 sec

= 0.025 kg/s

Air Mass rate, ma = 100 kg/min

= 100 kg/min × 1 min/60 sec

= 1.67 kg/s

A.

Extracting the specific enthalpy and temperature values from property table of “Saturated water – Pressure table” which corresponds to temperature at 0.07 MPa.

xf, quality = 0.9.

Tsat = 89.9°C

hf = 376.57 kJ/kg

hfg = 2283.38 kJ/kg

Using the equation for specific enthalpy,

hi = hf + (hfg × xf)

= 376.57 + (2283.38 × 0.9)

= 2431.552 kJ/kg

The specific enthalpy of the outlet, h2 = hf

= 376.57 kJ/kg

B.

Rate of enthalpy (heat exchange), Q = mass rate, ms × change in specific enthalpy

= ms × (hi - h2)

= 0.025 × (2431.552 - 376.57)

= 0.025 × 2055.042

= 51.37455 kW

= 51.38 kW.

Identical isolated conducting spheres 1 and 2 have equal charges and are separated by a distance that is large compared with the
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

F = 0.1575 N

Explanation:

When the third sphere touches the first sphere, the charge is distributed between both spheres, then now the first sphere has only half of his original charge.

In this moment then

Sphere one has a charge = Q/2

Sphere three has a charge = Q/2

Now when the third sphere touches the second sphere again the charge is distributed in a manner that both sphere has the same charge.

How the total charge is Q = Q/2 + Q = 3/2Q, when the spheres are separated each one has 3/4Q

Sphere two has a charge = 3/4Q

Sphere three has a charge = 3/4Q

The electrostatic force that acts on sphere 2 due to sphere 1 is:

F = \frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2} }{r^{2} }

F= \frac{K(Q/2)(3Q/4)}{r^{2} }

how \frac{KQ^{2} }{r^{2} } = 0.42

Then

F = \frac{0.42*3}{8}

F = 0.1575 N
