Complete Question:

A deuteron (a nucleus that consists of one proton and one neutron) is accelerated through a 4.01 kV potential difference. b) How much kinetic energy does it gain? The mass of a proton is 1.67262 × 10−27 kg, the mass of a neutron 1.67493 × 10−27 kg and the charge on an electron −1.60218 × 10−19 C. Answer in units of J\

b) what is the speed?

Answer:

a) the kinetic energy gained =  6.42 * 10⁻¹⁶ J

b) the speed of the particle, v = 619328.3 m/s

Explanation:

q = 1.602 *10⁻¹⁹C

V = 4.01 kV  = 4.01 * 10³ V

Work done by the deuteron = qV

Work done by the deuteron = 1.602 * 10⁻¹⁹ *  4.01 *10³

Work done = 6.42 * 10⁻¹⁶ J

Kinetic Energy gained = work done

Kinetic Energy gained by the deuteron =  6.42 * 10⁻¹⁶ J

B) The formula for Kinetic Energy is given by:

KE = 1/2 Mv²

Let the mass of the proton be m₁ = 1.67262 × 10⁻²⁷kg

Let the mass of the neutron be m₂ =   1.67493 × 10−27 kg

M = m₁ + m₂

KE = 1/2 ( m₁ + m₂)v²

Let v = speed of the deuteron

From part (a)

KE = 6.42 * 10⁻¹⁶ J

 1/2 ( m₁ + m₂)v²=  6.42 * 10⁻¹⁶

0.5 * (1.67262 + 1.6749) *10⁻²⁷ * v² =  6.42 * 10⁻¹⁶

v = 619328.3 m/s

The electric field of a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave obeys the equation E = (375V /m) cos[(1.99× 107rad/m)x + (5.97 × 1015rad
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

a)  v = 2,9992 10⁸ m / s , b)  Eo = 375 V / m ,  B = 1.25 10⁻⁶ T,

c)     λ = 3,157 10⁻⁷ m,   f = 9.50 10¹⁴ Hz ,  T = 1.05 10⁻¹⁵ s , UV

Explanation:

In this problem they give us the equation of the traveling wave

        E = 375 cos [1.99 10⁷ x + 5.97 10¹⁵ t]

a) what the wave velocity

all waves must meet

        v = λ f

In this case, because of an electromagnetic wave, the speed must be the speed of light.

        k = 2π / λ

        λ = 2π / k

        λ = 2π / 1.99 10⁷

        λ = 3,157 10⁻⁷ m

        w = 2π f

        f = w / 2 π

        f = 5.97 10¹⁵ / 2π

        f = 9.50 10¹⁴ Hz

the wave speed is

        v = 3,157 10⁻⁷   9.50 10¹⁴

        v = 2,9992 10⁸ m / s

b) The electric field is

           Eo = 375 V / m

to find the magnetic field we use

           E / B = c

           B = E / c

            B = 375 / 2,9992 10⁸

            B = 1.25 10⁻⁶ T

c) The period is

           T = 1 / f

            T = 1 / 9.50 10¹⁴

            T = 1.05 10⁻¹⁵ s

the wavelength value is

          λ = 3,157 10-7 m (109 nm / 1m) = 315.7 nm

this wavelength corresponds to the ultraviolet

Turn off lights when leaving rooms.

Unplug unused appliances. Even when powered off these appliances use electricity.

Replace regular light bulbs with energy saving bulbs.

A 30.0 kg box hangs from a rope. What is the tension (in N) in the rope if the box has an initial velocity of 2.0 m/s and is slo
hjlf

Answer:

360 N

Explanation:

m = 30kg    u = 2 m/s     a = -2m/s/s

Since the object has an initial velocity of 2 m/s and acceleration of -2 m/s/s

the object will come to rest in 1 second but the force applied in that one second can be calculated by:

F = ma

F = 30 * -2

F = -60 N (the negative sign tells us that the force is acting downwards)

Now, calculating the force applied on the box due to gravity

letting g = -10m/s/s

F = ma

F = 30 * -10

F = -300 N (the negative sign tells us that the force is acting downwards)

Now, calculating the total downward force:

-300 + (-60) = -360 N

<em></em>

<em>Hence, a downward force of 360 N is being applied on the box and since the box did not disconnect from the rope, the rope applied the same amount of force in the opposite direction</em>

Therefore tension on the force = <u>360 N</u>
