Answer: 9.9%

Explanation: efficiency = (work output /work input) × 100

Note that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules, hence 22kcal = 22× 4184 = 92048 joules.

Work output = 9200 j and work input = 92048 j

Efficiency = (9200/92048) × 100 = 0.099 × 100 = 9.9%

The national high magnetic field laboratory holds the world record for creating the strongest magnetic field. for brief periods
max2010maxim [7]

Newton’s 2nd law states that Force is equal to the product of mass (m) and acceleration (a):

F = m a                                  ---> 1

While in magnetic forces, force can also be expressed as:

F = q v B                               ---> 2

where,

q = total charge

v = velocity = 45 cm / s = 0.45 m / s

B = the magnetic field = 85 T

First we solve for the total charge, q:

q = 3.8 × 10^-23 g (1 mol / 23 g) (6.022 × 10^23 electrons / mol) (1.602 × 10^-19 C / electron)

q = 1.594 × 10^-19 C

 

We equate equations 1 and 2 then solve for acceleration a:

m a = q v B

a = q v B / m

a = [1.594 × 10^-19 C * 0.45 m / s * 85 T] / 3.8 × 10-26 kg

a = 160,437,862.2 m/s^2

 

Therefore the maximum acceleration of Na ions is about 160 × 10^6 m/s^2.
