The Tevatron acceleator at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) outside Chicago boosts protons to 1 TeV (1000 Ge

V) in five stages (the numbers given in parentheses represent the total kinetic energy at the end of each stage): Cockcroft-Walton (750 keV), Linac (400 MeV), Booster (8 GeV), Main ring or injector (150 Gev) and finally the Tevatron itself (1 TeV). What is the speed of the proton at the end of each stage?

Answer:

a) v = c \cdot 0.04 = 1.2\cdot 10^{7} m/s

b) v = c \cdot 0.71 = 2.1\cdot 10^{8} m/s

c) v = c \cdot 0.994 = 2.97\cdot 10^{8} m/s

d) v = c \cdot 0.999 = 2.997\cdot 10^{8} m/s

e) v = c \cdot 0.9999 = 2.999\cdot 10^{8} m/s

Explanation:

At that energies, the speed of proton is in the relativistic theory field, so we need to use the relativistic kinetic energy equation.

KE=mc^{2}(\gamma -1) = mc^{2}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\beta^{2}}} -1)           (1)

Here β = v/c, when v is the speed of the particle and c is the speed of light in vacuum.

Let's solve (1) for β.

\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{KE}{mc^{2}}+1 \right )^{2}}}

We can write the mass of a proton in MeV/c².

m_{p}=938.28 MeV/c^{2}

Now we can calculate the speed in each stage.

a) Cockcroft-Walton (750 keV)

\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{0.75 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}

\beta = 0.04

v = c \cdot 0.04 = 1.2\cdot 10^{7} m/s

b) Linac (400 MeV)

\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{400 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}

\beta = 0.71

v = c \cdot 0.71 = 2.1\cdot 10^{8} m/s

c) Booster (8 GeV)

\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{8000 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}

\beta = 0.994

v = c \cdot 0.994 = 2.97\cdot 10^{8} m/s

d) Main ring or injector (150 Gev)

\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{150000 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}

\beta = 0.999

v = c \cdot 0.999 = 2.997\cdot 10^{8} m/s

e) Tevatron (1 TeV)

\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{1000000 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}

\beta = 0.9999

v = c \cdot 0.9999 = 2.999\cdot 10^{8} m/s

Have a nice day!

If two identical cars are traveling at different velocities, which car has the greatest momentum ​
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The one with highest velocity

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the car

v is the velocity of the car

In this problem, we have two identical cars: identical means they have same mass, so

m_1 = m_2 = m

The momentum of car 1 is

p_1 = mv_1

while the momentum of car 2 is

p_2 = mv_2

By comparing the two expressions, we see that the car with greatest momentum is the one with highest velocity, since the mass is the same.

Mashutka [201]

He does not have much endurance since he is new to exercise. This explains best why Guillermo is struggling.

<h3>What is Endurance?</h3>
  • An organism's capacity to exert itself and remain active for a prolonged period of time, as well as its capacity to resist, withstand, recover from, and have immunity to trauma, wounds, or exhaustion, are all examples of endurance (also related to sufferance, resilience, constitution, fortitude, and hardiness). Usually, it is employed in anaerobic or aerobic exercise.
  • Depending on the type of activity, "long" can mean anything from minutes for high-intensity anaerobic exercise to hours or days for low-intensity aerobic exercise.
  • Unless a person additionally engages in resistance training to offset this effect, training for endurance can impair the ability to exert endurance strength.
