Ep is gravitational potential energy
m is mass (kg)
g is gravitational field strength (N/kg)
h is height (m)

Ep= mgh
= 80kg*9.8N/kg*100m
= 78 400 J

What is the lowest possible temperature
HACTEHA [7]
The lowest possible temperature is absolute zero. However scientists have not reached this temperature, rather they have come very close to absolute zero.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

5m

Explanation:

4^{2}+3^{2}=5^{2}\\5^{2}=25

Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the long edge of the triangle, which would be his displacement.

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
