Il existe troi types de rayons produits lors de la désintégration des éléments radioactifs:
-- "particules alpha" . . . noyaux d'hélium, composés chacun de 2 protons et 2 neutrons
-- "rayons bêta" ou "particules bêta" . . . flux d'électrons
-- "rayons gamma" . . . rayonnement électromagnétique avec les longueurs d'onde les plus courtes connues et l'énergie la plus élevée
This problem is a piece o' cake, IF you know the formulas for both kinetic energy and momentum. So here they are:
Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)
Momentum = (mass) · (speed)
So, now ... We know that
==> mass = 15 kg, and
==> kinetic energy = 30 Joules
Take those pieces of info and pluggum into the formula for kinetic energy:
Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)
30 Joules = (1/2) · (15 kg) · (speed²)
60 Joules = (15 kg) · (speed²)
4 m²/s² = speed²
Speed = 2 m/s
THAT's all you need ! Now you can find momentum:
Momentum = (mass) · (speed)
Momentum = (15 kg) · (2 m/s)
<em>Momentum = 30 kg·m/s</em>
<em>(Notice that in this problem, although their units are different, the magnitude of the KE is equal to the magnitude of the momentum. When I saw this, I wondered whether that's always true. So I did a little more work, and I found out that it isn't ... it's a coincidence that's true for this problem and some others, but it's usually not true.)</em>
The correct answer as the first one above !
Answer:
1788.402 MJ
Explanation:
Work done = Force (N) x distance (m)
First we have to convert distance into metres:
173.8 x 1000 = 173,800 m
Then plug these values into the equation above:
173,800 x 10290 = 1788402000 J
The reason it's Joules (the unit for energy) is because work done = energy transferred
Now we have to convert Joules into Mega Joules:
1 J = 1/1000000 MJ
1788402000 J = 1788402000/ 1000000 = 1788.402 MJ
