A) Higher potential

In order to stop the proton, it must be that the proton is moving against the direction of the electric field (=towards a positive charge, since it feels a repulsive force). This also means that the proton is moving from a region at lower electric potential to a region at higher electric potential (in fact, the electric potential is maximum near to the charge source of the field and it decreases as we move far away from it).

B) 3340 V

When the proton stops, the initial kinetic energy of the proton has been all converted into electric potential energy due to the field:

K = \Delta U\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = q\Delta V

where

m=1.67\cdot 10^{-27}kg is the mass of the proton

v=8\cdot 10^5 m/s is the proton's initial speed

q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the proton's charge

\Delta V is the potential difference

Solving for \Delta V, we find

\Delta V=\frac{mv^2}{2q}=\frac{(1.67\cdot 10^{-27}kg)(8\cdot 10^5 m/s)^2}{2(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)}=3340 V

C) 3340 eV

Since the proton has charge of q = +1 e, the electric potential energy gained by the proton is

\Delta U=q\Delta V=(1 e)(3340 V)=3340 eV

And due to the conservation of energy, the initial kinetic energy of the proton must be equal to this value.

In a digital multimeter, what changes inside the meter when you push the button to change from 200v range to the 20v range? by w
charle [14.2K]
So we want to know what changes inside the multimeter when we change the voltage range from 200 V to  20 V, by what factor and does it increase or decrease. What we want when trying to measure the voltage with a multimeter is that a minimal current passes trough the mulitmeter so when we change the voltage range, we decrease the resistance by a factor of 10 because the voltage is decreased by a factor of 10.

A 190 g rock at 20°C is completely immersed in 600 g of water at 80°C. Which one of the following statements is true right after
Umnica [9.8K]

Rock is completely immersed in hot water. By the second law of thermodynamics, thermal energy or heat is transferred from substance with higher temperature to substance with lower temperature until they come to thermal equilibrium i.e. both at same temperature.

It is given here that rock is at 20°C which is at lower temperature than water at 80°C. ∴Heat or thermal energy flows from water to rock. So, right choice is-

A. The water gives the rock thermal energy and gets no thermal energy in return.

When the liquid line is restricted, the supply of refrigerant to the metering device is reduced. What is the effect on suction p
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The suction pressure decreases and the superheat increases when the liquid line is restricted and the supply of refrigerant to the metering device is reduced.

Explanation:

1. The five components of refrigeration are:

  • Fluid refrigerant
  • Compressor
  • Condenser coil
  • Evaporator coil
  • Expansion device.

       The compressor limits the vapor released by the refrigerant. This            

       causes a rise in pressure (in refrigerant), which then pushes the  

       vapor into the coils on the outside of the refrigerator.

2. Now when the cooler air meets the warm gas present in the coils, it

   gets converted into liquid form.

3. Thus, when the liquid form is at high pressure, the refrigerant then  

   cools down as it flows through the coils placed in the fridge ( in both

   freezing and normal sections).

4. The refrigerant also absorbs the warm air present in the fridge, which  

   causes it to evaporate and flow back through the compressor and the

   cycle repeats in the same form.

Thus, when the liquid line is restricted and the supply of refrigerant to the metering device is reduced it causes a decrease in suction pressure and an increase in superheat.

How come in free fall you feel weightless even though gravity is pulling down on you?
AysviL [449]
Feeling of Weight.

When walking, you feel the weight on your feet, therefore, your brain automatically refers to it as a source of weight.

In the air there is no platform to land on, therefore the brain does not have the conscience to register you getting pulled down.
