Determine the energy required to accelerate an electron between each of the following speeds. (a) 0.500c to 0.900c MeV (b) 0.900

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The energy required to accelerate an electron is 0.582 Mev and 0.350 Mev.

Explanation:

We know that,

Mass of electron $m_{e}=9.11\times10^{-31}\ kg$

Rest mass energy for electron = 0.511 Mev

(a). The energy required to accelerate an electron from 0.500c to 0.900c Mev

Using formula of rest,

$E=\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{f}^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{i}^2}{c^2}}}$

$E=\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.900c)^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.500c)^2}{c^2}}}$

$E=0.582\ Mev$

(b). The energy required to accelerate an electron from 0.900c to 0.942c Mev

Using formula of rest,

$E=\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{f}^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{E_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{i}^2}{c^2}}}$

$E=\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.942c)^2}{c^2}}}-\dfrac{0.511}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.900c)^2}{c^2}}}$

$E=0.350\ Mev$

Hence, The energy required to accelerate an electron is 0.582 Mev and 0.350 Mev.

Determine the ratio of the resistivity of pure water to silver?

shutvik [7]

Silver is a very good conductor, this means its resistivity is very low (from table, we can check the precise value, which is $\rho_s = 1.6 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m$ ).

Pure water, instead, is a very bad conductor, this means its resistivity is very high, of order of $k \Omega \cdot m$ ( $10^3 \Omega m$ ). Even without knowing the precise value of the pure water resistivity, we can estimate the ratio between the pure water resistivity and the silver resistivity by comparing the two orders of magnitude:
$r= \frac{10^3 \Omega m}{10^{-8} \Omega m} \sim 10^{11}$

Therefore, we can say that the correct answer is
$3 \cdot 10^{11} : 1$

A police officer is called to the scene of a car accident in his accident he sketches the scene and describes it according to hi

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The driver was not telling the truth because it is not possible for a car to hit another car from behind and generate a force to the sides that deflects it from its path.

Explanation:

First, we analyze the driver's statement.

The driver when arriving at the curve, is collided from behind by another car and deviates from his path and crashes into a tree. For the car to go to the tree there must be a force towards the tree.

The net force that causes the car to deviate must be formed by the sum of the motion vector of the first car plus the force that is directed towards the tree.

Here we verify that a car hitting from behind will not generate a force to the sides, but will generate a force in the same direction that the car moves, forward.

In January 2006, astronomers reported the discovery of a planet comparable in size to the earth orbiting another star and having

Orlov [11]

Answer:

R = 5.28 103 km

Explanation:

The definition of density is

ρ = m / V

V = m /ρ

Where m is the mass and V the volume of the body

The volume of a sphere is

V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

4/3 π r³ = m / ρ

R =∛ ¾ m / ρ π

The mass of the planet is

M = 5.5 Me

R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 Me /ρ π

Let's reduce the density to SI units

ρ = 1.76 g / cm³ (1 kg / 10³ g) (10² cm / 1 m)³

ρ = 1.76 10³ kg / m³

Let's calculate

R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 5.97 10²⁴ / (1.76 10³ pi)

R = ∛ 0.14723 10²¹

R = 0.528 10⁷ m

R = 0.528 104 km

R = 5.28 103 km
