Answer:

Option C is correct

Explanation:

"The time is determined by the vertical distance. The formula is sqr(2d/a) = t. There still is no acceleration in the horizontal direction."

For the first drive

d = d

t = sqr(2d/a)

r = v

For the Second drive

d = ??

t = sqr(2d/a)

r = 2v

Since the times are same, equate the results.

t = d/v = d1/2v

v*d1 = 2v*d The v's cancel because they are related.

d1 = 2d.

You go twice as far as you did before.

Option C is correct

A linear accelerator produces a pulsed beam of electrons. The pulse current is 0.50 A, and the pulse duration is 0.10 μs. (a) Ho

Crank

Answer:

a)N = 3.125 * 10¹¹

b) I(avg) = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵A

c)P(avg) = 1250W

d)P = 2.5 × 10⁷W

Explanation:

Given that,

pulse current is 0.50 A

duration of pulse Δt = 0.1 × 10⁻⁶s

a) The number of particles equal to the amount of charge in a single pulse divided by the charge of a single particles

N = Δq/e

charge is given by Δq = IΔt

so,

N = IΔt / e

$N = \frac{(0.5)(0.1 * 10^-^6)}{(1.6 * 10^-^1^9)} \\= 3.125 * 10^1^1$

N = 3.125 * 10¹¹

b) Q = nqt

where q is the charge of 1puse

n = number of pulse

the average current is given as I(avg) = Q/t

I(avg) = nq

I(avg) = nIΔt

= (500)(0.5)(0.1 × 10⁻⁶)

= 2.5 × 10⁻⁵A

C) If the electrons are accelerated to an energy of 50 MeV, the acceleration voltage must,

eV = K

V = K/e

the power is given by

P = IV

P(avg) = I(avg)K / e

$P(avg) = \frac{(2.5 * 10^-^5)(50 * 10^6 . 1.6 * 10^-^1^9)}{1.6 * 10^-^1^9}$

= 1250W

d) Final peak=

P= Ik/e

= $= P(avg) = \frac{(0.5)(50 * 10^6 . 1.6 * 10^-^1^9)}{1.6 * 10^-^1^9}\\2.5 * 10^7W$

P = 2.5 × 10⁷W

A 15.0 kg turntable with a radius of 25 cm is covered with a uniform layer of dry ice that has a mass of 9.0 kg. The angular spe

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

ω₂=1.20

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the turn table ,M= 15 kg

mass of the ice ,m= 9 kg

radius ,r= 25 cm

Initial angular speed ,ω₁ = 0.75 rad/s

Initial mass moment of inertia

$I_1=\dfrac{M+m}{2}r^2$

$I_1=\dfrac{15+9}{2}\times 0.25^2\ kg.m^2$

$I_1=0.75\ kg.m^2$

Final mass moment of inertia

$I_2=\dfrac{M}{2}r^2$

$I_2=\dfrac{15}{2}\times 0.25^2\ kg.m^2$

$I_2=0.468\ kg.m^2$

Lets take final speed of the turn table after ice evaporated =ω₂ rad/s

Now by conservation angular momentum

I₁ ω₁ =ω₂ I₂

$\omega_2=\dfrac{0.75\times 0.75}{0.468}\ rad/s$

ω₂=1.20

Which temperature is the hottest? 98 F or 39 C or 303K?<br> F= 1.8C + 32<br> C= (F-32)/1.8

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The hottest temperature is $T_2 = 39^o C$

Explanation:

From the question we are given

$T_1 = 98 F$

$T_2 = 39^oC$

$T_3 = 303 \ K$

Generally converting $T_3$ to Fahrenheit

$T_3' = (T_3 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_3' = (303 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_3' = 86 F$

Converting $T_2$ to Fahrenheit

$T_2' = T_2 * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_2' = 39 * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_2' =102.2 F$

Now comparing the temperature in Fahrenheit we see that $T_2$ is the hottest

A 87.0 kg astronaut is working on the engines of a spaceship that is drifting through space with a constant velocity. The astron

Ket [755]

Answer:

259.62521 seconds

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of astronaut = 87 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of wrench = 0.57 kg

$v_1$ = Velocity of astronaut

$v_2$ = Velocity of wrench = 22.4 m/s

Here, the linear momentum is conserved

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{0.57\times 22.4}{87}\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.14675\ m/s$

Time = Distance / Speed

$Time=\frac{38.1}{0.14675}=259.62521\ s$

The time taken to reach the ship is 259.62521 seconds
