Answer:

(a). The work done is 7001 MeV.

(b). The momentum of this proton is 4.20\times10^{8}\ kg-m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 0.993 c

We need to calculate the work done

Using work energy theorem

The work done is equal to the kinetic energy relative to the proton

W=K.E

W=\dfrac{m_{p}c^2}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}-m_{p}c^2

Put the value into the formula

W=\dfrac{1.67\times10^{-27}\times(3\times10^{8})^2}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{0.993c}{c})^2}}-1.67\times10^{-27}\times(3\times10^{8})^2

W=\dfrac{1.67\times10^{-27}\times(3\times10^{8})^2}{\sqrt{1-(0.993)^2}}-1.67\times10^{-27}\times(3\times10^{8})^2

W=1.122\times10^{-9}\ J

W=7001\ MeV

(b). We need to calculate  the momentum of this proton

Using formula of momentum

p=\dfrac{m_{0}v}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}

Put the value into the formula

p=\dfrac{1.67\times10^{-27}\times0.993c}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{0.993c}{c})^2}}

p=\dfrac{1.67\times10^{-27}\times0.993c}{\sqrt{1-(0.993)^2}}

p=1.404\times10^{-26}c

p=4.20\times10^{8}\ kg-m/s

Hence, (a). The work done is 7001 MeV.

(b). The momentum of this proton is 4.20\times10^{8}\ kg-m/s.

A student adds two vectors of magnitudes 48 m and 22 m. What are the maximum and minimum possible values for the resultant of th
Julli [10]

Answer:

<em>Maximum=70 m</em>

<em>Minimum=26 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Vector Addition </u>

Since vectors have magnitude and direction, adding them takes into consideration not only the magnitudes but also their respective directions. Two vectors can be totally collaborative, i.e., point to the same direction, or be totally opposite. In the first case, the magnitude of the sum is at maximum. Otherwise, it's at a minimum.

Thus, the maximum magnitude of the sum is 48+22 = 70 m and the minimum magnitude of the sum is 48-22= 26 m
