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 .

A block of aluminum at a temperature of T1 = 32 degrees C has a mass of m1 = 12 kg. It is brought into contact with another bloc
Mariulka [41]

Answer:T=21.33 ^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given

mass of First Block m_1=12 kg

Temperature T_1=32^{\circ}

mass of second block m_2=0.5 m_1=6 kg

Temperature T_2=9^{\circ}

Heat capacity of aluminium c=899 J/kg-K

Final Temperature acquired by both blocks at steady state

Heat loss first block =Heat gain by second block

m_1\times c\times (32-T)=m_2\times c\times (T-9)

12\times 899\times (32-T)=6\times 899\times (T-9)

2\times 32=3T

T=\frac{64}{3}=21.33 ^{\circ}

TWO QUESTIONS!
solong [7]

The correct answer to the question is : 1) Converting energy and 2) Within about twenty years, natural gas forms.

EXPLANATION:

In coal fired power plants, the water is heated by burning coals. The heat produced in this process will convert water into steam. The steam is allowed to rotate the turbine. The turbine is attached to a generator which converts the kinetic energy of the steam into electric energy due to electromagnetic induction.

Hence, turbine helps in converting energy.

As per the second question, Walt listed the steps that occur during the formation of natural gas.

The natural gas is produced due to natural phenomenon. For this, millions of years are passed. So, it is a long range process in which the fossil of animals and planets buried beneath the surface are converted into natural gas under high pressure.

Hence, the mistake of Walt is  that the natural gas is produced withing twenty years.

A rock is thrown upward from the level ground in such a way that the maximum height of its flight is equal to its horizontal ran
marshall27 [118]

Answer

a) For the rock

\dfrac{v_t^2sin 2\theta}{g} = \dfrac{v_t^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

2sin\thetacos\theta = \dfrac{sin^2\theta}{2}

2cos\theta = \dfrac{sin\theta}{2}

tan\theta = 4

\theta = tan^{-1} 4

\theta = 76^0

b) \theta = 45^0 for maximum range

\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=\dfrac{(v_tcos 45^0)(2v_tsin 45^0)g}{(v_tcos 76^0)(2v_tsin 76^0)g}

\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=\dfrac{0.707\times 0.707)}{0.97\times 0.242}

\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=2.129

d_{max}=2.129 d

c) The value of θ is the same on every planet as g divides out.
