As the surface given is a smooth surface, we can use specular reflection. According to the law of specular reflection, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, so it will also be 40°. Answer is A.

A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is. (a) How m
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a. 5 × 10¹⁹ protons b. 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is 0.42 A. (a) How many protons strike the target in 19 seconds? (b) Each proton has a kinetic energy of 6.0 x 10-12 J. Suppose the target is a 17-gram block of metal whose specific heat capacity is 860 J/(kg Co), and all the kinetic energy of the protons goes into heating it up. What is the change in temperature of the block at the end of 19 s?

Solution

a.

i = Q/t = ne/t

n = it/e where i = current = 0.42 A, n = number of protons, e = proton charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and t = time = 19 s

So n = 0.42 A × 19 s/1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

       = 4.98 × 10¹⁹ protons

       ≅ 5 × 10¹⁹ protons

b

The total kinetic energy of the protons = heat change of target

total kinetic energy of the protons = n × kinetic energy per proton

                                                         = 5 × 10¹⁹ protons × 6.0 × 10⁻¹² J per proton

                                                         = 30 × 10⁷ J

heat change of target = Q = mcΔT ⇒ ΔT = Q/mc where m = mass of block = 17 g = 0.017 kg and c = specific heat capacity = 860 J/(kg °C)

ΔT = Q/mc = 30 × 10⁷ J/0.017 kg × 860 J/(kg °C)

     = 30 × 10⁷/14.62

     = 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

Increasing the amount of current that flows through a wire ______ the strength of an electromagnet
Anestetic [448]

Electromagnet is in form of solenoid

and the magnetic field due to solenoid is given as

B = \mu_0 n i

here

i = current in the loop

so when we increase the current in electromagnet the magnetic field of the solenoid will increase

this will increase the strength of the electromagnet

so the answer would be

<em>INCREASE</em>

The length of vector A is 93.8 meters and the length of Ay is 38.4 meters, then the length of A, must be
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

85.556metres

Explanation:

Using pythagorean theorem

C²=A²+B²

we have c as the hypotenuse vector A thus:

93.8²=A²+38.4²

93.8²-38.4²=A²

8794.44-1474.56=A²

7319.88=A²

A=85.556

Suppose you illuminate two thin slits by monochromatic coherent light in air and find that they produce their first interference
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

1.7323

Explanation:

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to refractive indices and Snell's law.

From the data given we have to:

n_{air}=1

\theta_{liquid} = 19.38\°

\theta_{air}35.09\°

Where n means the index of refraction.

We need to calculate the index of refraction of the liquid, then applying Snell's law we have:

n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2

n_{air}sin\theta_{air} = n_{liquid}sin\theta_{liquid}

n_{liquid} = \frac{n_{air}sin\theta_{air}}{sin\theta_{liquid}}

Replacing the values we have:

n_{liquid}=\frac{(1)sin(35.09)}{sin(19.38)}

n_liquid = 1.7323

Therefore the refractive index for the liquid is 1.7323

A plane rises from​ take-off and flies at an angle of 5 degrees5° with the horizontal runway. When it has gained 800800 ​feet, f
dedylja [7]

Answer:

distance=9188149.567feet

Explanation:

Given Data

Angle α=5°

height h=800800 feet

To find

Distance r

Solution  

As we Know that

Sin\alpha =(\frac{Perpendicular}{hypotenuse} )\\Sin\alpha =\frac{h}{r}\\ r=\frac{h}{Sin\alpha}\\ r=\frac{800800feet}{Sin(5^{o} )}\\ r=9188149.567feet
