Answer:

a. 5 × 10¹⁹ protons b. 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is 0.42 A. (a) How many protons strike the target in 19 seconds? (b) Each proton has a kinetic energy of 6.0 x 10-12 J. Suppose the target is a 17-gram block of metal whose specific heat capacity is 860 J/(kg Co), and all the kinetic energy of the protons goes into heating it up. What is the change in temperature of the block at the end of 19 s?

Solution

a.

i = Q/t = ne/t

n = it/e where i = current = 0.42 A, n = number of protons, e = proton charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and t = time = 19 s

So n = 0.42 A × 19 s/1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

       = 4.98 × 10¹⁹ protons

       ≅ 5 × 10¹⁹ protons

b

The total kinetic energy of the protons = heat change of target

total kinetic energy of the protons = n × kinetic energy per proton

                                                         = 5 × 10¹⁹ protons × 6.0 × 10⁻¹² J per proton

                                                         = 30 × 10⁷ J

heat change of target = Q = mcΔT ⇒ ΔT = Q/mc where m = mass of block = 17 g = 0.017 kg and c = specific heat capacity = 860 J/(kg °C)

ΔT = Q/mc = 30 × 10⁷ J/0.017 kg × 860 J/(kg °C)

     = 30 × 10⁷/14.62

     = 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

A Boeing 747 ""Jumbo Jet"" has a length of 59.7 m. The runway on which the plane lands intersects another runway. The width of t
Reika [66]

Answer:

1.7 seconds

Explanation:

To clear the intersection, the total distance to be covered = 59.7 + 25 =84.7m

first we need to find the initial speed to just enter the intersection by using the third equation of motion

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

45^2 - u^2 = 2 * -5.7 * 84.7

u^2 = 45^2 +965.58

u^2 = 2990.58

u = 54.7 m/s

Now for time we apply the first equation of motion

v-u =a * t

t = (v-u)/a = (45 - 54.7)/-5.7 = 1.7seconds

The dark bands on the wall are from ______________ interference. and i will give brainlyest
Fittoniya [83]
Light can be seen as an electromagnetic wave.
What happens when two waves, with the same frequency, superpose is called interference.

If at a certain point two waves arrive both with a crest, we have constructive interference and the amplitudes sum up, reaching the maximum value, resulting in bright spots.

If at a certain point one of the waves arrives with a crest and the other wave arrives with a trough, we have destructive interference, and the two amplitudes cancel out, resulting in dark spots.

Therefore, t<span>he dark bands on the wall are from destructive interference.</span>

Which are examples of a medium? water and air amplitude and wavelength crests and troughs compressions and rarefactions
umka21 [38]

Answer:

water and air

Explanation:

  • A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point or the source to another  point.
  • Transmission of a wave occurs through a material medium or a vacuum. Therefore a medium is the material through which a wave travels through.
  • The medium may be in gaseous form, slid form or liquid form. Therefore water and air are example of medium of transmission of a wave.

Suppose that placing 0.3 inch of lead in front of a gamma source reduces the count rate from 1045 cps to 573 cps. What is um^-1
Ainat [17]

Answer:

14.49 g/cm²

Explanation:

I = Io e^-(ux)

Where:

I = 573

Io = 1045

x = 0.3 inches and

rho = 11.4g/cm^3

Using the conversion constant

1 inch = 2.54 cm;

0.3 inches = 0.3 * 2.54 cm

0.3 inches = 0.762 cm

I/Io = e^-(ux), or say

Io/I = e^(ux), taking the In of both sides

ln(Io/I) = ux, making u subject of formula

u = 1/x * ln(Io/I)

u = 1/0.762 * ln(1045/573)

u = 1.312 * 0.6

u = 0.787

Next, we say that

u/rho = 0.7872/11.4 = 0.069

And finally, we make

1/(u/rho) to be our final answer

Inverse of the answer is = 14.49 g/cm²

Therefore, the um^-1 in g/cm^2? is 14.49
