Answer:

0.572 MeV

2.467 MeV

Explanation:

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

m = Mass of electron = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

v = Final velocity

u = Initial velocity

Kinetic energy is given by

E=mc^2\left[\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{u^2}{c^2}}}\right]\\\Rightarrow E=9.11\times 10^{-31}\times (3\times 10^8)^2\left[\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{0.898^2c^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{0.5^2c^2}{c^2}}}\right]\\\Rightarrow E=9.16689\times 10^{-14}\ J\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{9.16689\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times 10^{-13}}\\\Rightarrow E=0.572\ MeV

The energy required is 0.572 MeV

E=mc^2\left[\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{u^2}{c^2}}}\right]\\\Rightarrow E=9.11\times 10^{-31}\times (3\times 10^8)^2\left[\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{0.99^2c^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{0.898^2c^2}{c^2}}}\right]\\\Rightarrow E=3.94869\times 10^{-13}\ J\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{3.94869\times 10^{-13}}{1.6\times 10^{-13}}\\\Rightarrow E=2.467\ MeV

The energy required is 2.467 MeV

How long does it take a 22 kW steam engine to do 5.6 × 107 J of work? Answer in units of s.
Lena [83]
<h2>Time needed is 2545.45 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

We know equation for power

               \texttt{Power = }\frac{\texttt{Work}}{\texttt{Time}}

Here we need to find time when for a 22 kW steam engine to do 5.6 × 10⁷ J of work.

So

        Work = 5.6 × 10⁷ J

        Power = 22 kW = 22 x 10³ W

Substituting

        \texttt{Power = }\frac{\texttt{Work}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\22\times 10^3=\frac{5.6\times 10^7}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\\texttt{Time}=2545.45s

Time needed is 2545.45 seconds.

Which of the following is true about Electromagnets?
babunello [35]

Answer:

A. When the current is shut off, the magnetic field disappears.

Explanation:

Electromagnetism is a method in which magnetism is obtained from an electric current. It is an artificial way of producing a strong magnetic fields due to the flow of current.

Since the magnetic effect observed is due to the flow of an electric current, so when the current is shut off, the magnetic field disappears.

It has a wide range of applications in manufacturing industries, electric bells, induction coil etc.
