Answer:

Power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube is 2304 W

Explanation:

Given;

voltage of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, V =  144 kV = 144 x 10³ V

current of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, I = 16.0 mA = 16 x 10⁻³ A

Power is given as the product of voltage and current in a circuit.

Power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, P = V x I

Power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, P = 144 x 10³ V x 16 x 10⁻³ A

P = 2304 W

Therefore, power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube is 2304 W

You kick a ball with a speed of 14 m/s at an angle of 51°. How far away does the ball land?
In-s [12.5K]
-- The vertical component of the ball's velocity is 14 sin(<span>51°) = 10.88 m/s

-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

-- The ball rises for 10.88/9.8 seconds, then stops rising, and drops for the
same amount of time before it hits the ground.

-- Altogether, the ball is in the air for (2 x 10.88)/(9.8) = 2.22 seconds
==================================

-- The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is  14 cos(</span><span>51°) = 8.81 m/s

-- At this speed, it covers a horizontal distance of (8.81) x (2.22) = <em><u>19.56 meters</u></em>
before it hits the ground.


As usual when we're discussing this stuff, we completely ignore air resistance.

how does spatial pattern of heights illustrate the relationship between temperature density and the rate of vertical pressure ch
Anika [276]

The rate of change of vertical pressure is directly proportional to density and also directly proportional to temperature.

Generally, the relationship between temperature, density and rate of vertical pressure is given as;

\rho = \frac{PM}{RT}

\frac{dP}{dz} = -\rho g\\\\

where;

  • <em>ρ is density</em>
  • <em>T is temperature</em>
  • <em>dP is rate of change of vertical  pressure</em>

Thus, from the formula above, we can conclude the following relationship between temperature, density and the rate of vertical pressure change in spatial pattern of heights.

The rate of change of vertical pressure is directly proportional to density and also directly proportional to temperature.

Adding heat to a liquid causes which of the following physical changes?
SashulF [63]

In almost every case in nature, adding heat to a liquid
causes the density of the liquid to decrease.  That is,
when the liquid gets warmer, it expands and occupies
more space.

The one big exception to this rule is water ! 

Starting with a block of ice at zero°C (32°F), as the ice melts,
becomes water at zero°C, and all the way to 4°C (about 39°F),
its density increases all the way.   That is, it shrinks and occupies
less
volume as it goes from ice at zero°C to water at 4°C.

This sounds like an interesting but insignificant quirk ... until
you realize that if water didn't do this, then life on Earth would
be impossible !

Why are weight and mass used synonymously on earth?
Lisa [10]
Weight and mass are used synonymously on earth because the value of g is constant on the earth because the weight of a body is the amount of force exerted by the Earths gravity on an object of finite mass. And, the mass of an object gives the amount of matter in the body and is measured in kilograms.
