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>

solong [7]

Answer: A is correct

It is showing the direction that protons move in, making the sphere negative

Explanation:

From the figure, since the charges on the rod are completely positive, it shows that the protons are transferring from the sphere to the rod leaving the rod negatively charged.

Therefore, It is showing the direction that protons move in, making the sphere negative.

The formula $F = \frac{9}{5} C + 32$ can be used to convert temperatures between degrees Fahrenheit ($F$) and degrees Celsius ($
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

-30° C

Explanation:

Data provided in the problem:

The formula for conversion as:

F  = (9/5)C + 32

Now,

for the values of F = -22 , C = ?

Substituting the value of F in the above formula, we get

-22 = (9/5)C + 32

or

-22 - 32 = (9/5)C

or

(9/5)C = - 54

or

C = - 54 × (5/9)

or

C = - 30 °

Hence, -22 Fahrenheit equals to -30°C

Ipatiy [6.2K]

If it increased its speed steadily at a constant rate, then the average speed for the minute was

(1/2)(10m/s + 20m/s) = 15 m/s .

Rolling at an average speed of 15 m/s for 1 minute (60 seconds), it travels

(15 m/s) (60 sec) = 900 meters
