Answer:

(i) Si device are coated with B or Li for neutron detection

(ii) Fast neutrons are normally first slowed down  to thermal energies before measurement

(iii) The strip detectors consists of p⁺ and n implants in the region of a very thin (300 to 400 μm) depletion zone  though which the neutrons traverse producing a readout based on the generated charges being directed to the cathode, p⁺, material  which then transmits the charge to the device electronics

Explanation:

(i) Detection of neurons with only an Si device in not possible due to the large neutrons path in Si such that the silicon needs to be coated with B or Li which readily interact with neutrons. The neutron interaction with the reactive coating produces an alpha particle which can be detected by the semi conductor and a nucleus

(ii) Neutrons having a kinetic energy that is more than 1 MeV which as such has a velocity of more than 15,000 km/s is known as fast neutrons or fission neutrons. The fast neutrons are slowed in a nuclear reactor by neutron moderation to thermal energies

Due their high speed, fast neutrons are normally slowed down which however results in the loss of some vector properties of the neutron

Techniques for fast neutron detection includes,

1) Recoil detectors which are capable of fast neutron detection without moderation

2) Bonner spheres detector first converts the fast moving electron to slow down before detection

3) Scintillation counter are widely used but require the conversion of the neutron to a charged particles before detection

(iii) Strip detectors provide high precision measurement of a particle's crossing point which can be further improved by use of low noise electronics

Applications of silicon strip detectors include

1) Particle tracking in research in particle physics

2) Particle tracking in researches in x-spectroscopy nuclear research

3) Imaging in x-talography

4) Medical research imaging

5) Particle tracking and imaging in astrophysics.

If a marathon runner averages 9.51 mi/hr, how long does it take him to run a 26.220-mile marathon. Express your answers in hours
ASHA 777 [7]

Explanation:

Speed of the marathon runner, v = 9.51 mi/hr

Distance covered by the runner, d = 26.220 mile

Let t is the time taken by the marathon runner. We know that the speed of the runner is given by total distance divided by total time taken. Mathematically, it is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{26.220\ mi}{9.51\ mi/hr}

t = 2.75 hours

Since, 1 hour = 60 minutes

t = 165 minutes

Since, 1 minute = 60 seconds

t = 9900 seconds

Hence, this is the required solution.

A go-cart is traveling at a rate of 25 m/sec for 20 seconds. How far will the go cart travel?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Distance travel by go-cart = 500 meter

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of go cart = 25 m/s

Time travel = 20 seconds

Find:

Distance travel by go-cart

Computation:

Distance = Speed x time

Distance travel by go-cart = Speed of go cart x Time travel

Distance travel by go-cart = 25 x 20

Distance travel by go-cart = 500 meter

How did bohr propose light was emitted from a material?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

when an electron made a transition from an outer orbit to one closer to the nucleus

Explanation:

Bohr amended that view of the motion of the planetary electrons to bring the model in line with the regular patterns (spectral series) of light emitted by real hydrogen atoms. ... Light, he proposed, radiated from hydrogen atoms only

The electric field everywhere on the surface of a thin, spherical shell of radius 0.770 m is of magnitude 860 N/C and points rad
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

(a) Q = 7.28\times 10^{14}

(b) The charge inside the shell is placed at the center of the sphere and negatively charged.

Explanation:

Gauss’ Law can be used to determine the system.

\int{\vec{E}} \, d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}\\E4\pi r^2 = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}\\(860)4\pi(0.77)^2 = \frac{Q_{enc}}{8.8\times 10^{-12}}\\Q_enc = 7.28\times 10^{14}

This is the net charge inside the sphere which causes the Electric field at the surface of the shell. Since the E-field is constant over the shell, then this charge is at the center and negatively charged because the E-field is radially inward.

The negative charge at the center attracts the same amount of positive charge at the surface of the shell.

You are making a circular turn in your car on a horizontal road when you hit a big patch of ice, causing the force of friction b
adell [148]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

The car travels with centripetal acceleration which is directed to the center of the circle but the velocity is changing since the car faces different direction as it travels in the circular direction. When the friction is zero between the tires of the car and the road, it will continue in the direction of its tangential velocity which will be along a straight-line path in its original direction.
