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
If you cannot get a chair to move across the floor, it is because static friction opposes your push. When you say static or kinetic friction the two object that facing each other are opposing each other. That's why you're having a hard time pushing the chair.
The answer is (a) because movement is acceleration
Answer:
An apple hanging at a branch has potential energy due its position. It can be written as PE= mgh where m is the mass of the apple h is the distance between the apple and the ground and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
as the apple falls from the tree it loses its potential energy and gains kinetic energy due to the movement of the apple. Its kinetic energy will be given by KE= 1/2mv² where m is the mass of the apple and v is the speed with which the apple falls.
As the apple falls the height or the distance reduces and PE becomes reduces. But it gains Kinetic energy due to its speed.
But when the apple falls to the ground and comes to rest its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.
thus the total energy remains the same. it changes from one form to the other but remains unaltered.
What that means is the atom is so radioactive that the nucleus is unstable.
