A linear accelerator uses alternating electric fields to accelerate electrons to close to the speed of light. A small number of

the electrons collide with a target, but a large majority pass through the target and impact a beam dump at the end of the accelerator. In one experiment the beam dump measured charge accumulating at a rate of -2.0 nC/s. How many electrons passed through the accelerator over 1.8 hours?

Answer:

8.1 x 10^13 electrons passed through the accelerator over 1.8 hours.

Explanation:

The total charge accumulated in 1.8 hours will be:

Total Charge = I x t = (-2.0 nC/s)(1.8 hrs)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

Total Charge = - 12960 nC = - 12.96 x 10^(-6) C

Since, the charge on one electron is e = - 1.6 x 10^(-19) C

Therefore, no. of electrons will be:

No. of electrons = Total Charge/Charge on one electron

No. of electrons = [- 12.96 x 10^(-6) C]/[- 1.6 x 10^(-19) C]

<u>No. of electrons = 8.1 x 10^13 electrons</u>

it takes 90 j of work to stretch a spring 0.2 m from its equilibrium position. How muc work is needed to stretch it an additiona
Vinvika [58]

Work needed: 720 J

Explanation:

The work needed to stretch a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is stretched, which is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the stretching of the spring from the equilibrium position

In this problem, we have

E = 90 J (work done to stretch the spring)

x = 0.2 m (stretching)

Therefore, the spring constant is

k=\frac{2E}{x^2}=\frac{2(90)}{(0.2)^2}=4500 N/m

Now we can find what is the work done to stretch the spring by an additional 0.4 m, that means to a total displacement of

x = 0.2 + 0.4 = 0.6 m

Substituting,

E'=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(4500)(0.6)^2=810 J

Therefore, the additional work needed is

\Delta E=E'-E=810-90=720 J
