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 .

alexdok [17]

First, we determine the volume of the trunk by finding first the radius from the circumference through the equation,

<span>                                                            C = 2πr</span>

<span>                                                            r = C/2π</span>

Substituting the known values,

<span>                                                            r = 4.5/2π = 0.716 m</span>

Then, we calculate for the volume through the equation,

<span>                                                            V = πr2h</span>

<span>                                                V = π(0.716 m)2(8m) = 12.9 m3</span>

Multiplying the calculated value to the density will give the mass as,

<span>                                                Mass = (12.9 m3)(752 kg/m3) = <span>9699.36 kg</span></span>

A cat lies on the floor. can you say that no force acts on the cat? or is it correct to say that no net force acts on the cat? e
DIA [1.3K]

Odd though it seems at first, gravity is pulling the cat down while the floor is pushing the cat up - in equal amounts. Forces are absolutely acting on the cat but they balance - so there is no net force.

Estimate the volume of a typical house (2050 feet squared in size and 10 feet tall) answer in units of meters squared
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Volume = 6248.48 m^{3}

Explanation:

Given:

The area of the house A = 2050\ ft^{2}

The height of the house h=10\ ft

We need to find the volume of a typical house.

Solution:

We find the volume of the house by multiplying the area of the house and height of the house.

Volume = Area\times height

Volume = A\times h

Area and height of the house are known, so we substitute these value in above equation.

Volume = 2050\times 10

Volume = 20500\ ft^{3}

Now we convert the unit from feet to meter.

Divide the volume by 3.2808 for m^{3}

Volume = \frac{20500}{3.2808}

Volume = 6248.48\ m^{3}

Therefore, the volume of the house is 6248.48 m^{3}

When the ignition is first turned on a click noise is heard from under the hood of a vehicle equipped with ETC. Technician A say
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Technician A says that this is the normal operation of the ETC self -test is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An engine control unit (ECU), also widely referred to as an engine control module (ECM), is a type of electronic control device that controls an internal combustion engine with a series of actuators to ensure maximum engine performance.

It achieves so by reading values from a multitude of sensors within the engine bay, translating data using multidimensional feedback maps (the so-called lookup tables) and modifying the actuators.

Mechanically fixed and dynamically regulated by mechanical and pneumatic means, air-fuel combination, ignition time, and idle speed were before ECUs.

As soon as the system gets battery voltage, after ignition is turned, the efi computer makes a self-test of all the actuators and sensors, included the ETC.
