Physicists and engineers from around the world have come together to build the largest accelerator in the world, the Large Hadro

n Collider (LHC) at the CERN Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. The machine accelerates protons to high kinetic energies in an underground ring 27 km in circumference.
a. What speed v of proton in the LHC if the proton's kinetic energy is 6.7 TeV? (Because v is very close to c, write v=(1−Δ)c and give your answer in terms of Δ).
b. Find the relativistic mass, mrel, of the accelerated protons in terms of their rest mass.

Solution :

Energy of photon, E = 6.7 eV

                              E = $6.7 \times 1.602 \times 10^{-7}$ joule

Kinetic energy, $K.E. =\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = 1.602 \times 6.7 \times 10^{-7}$

$v^2=\frac{2 \times 1.602 \times 6.7 \times 10^{-7}}{1.6726 \times 10^{-27}}$

   $=12.834 \times 10^{-20}$

Kinetic energy at high speeds

$(r-1)\times mc^2 = 6.7 \ eV$

$(r-1)=\frac{6.7 \times 1.602 \times 10^{-7}}{1.6726 \times 10^{-27} \times 9 \times 10^{16}}$

r - 1 = 7130

r = 7130 + 1

r  = 7131

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{C^2}}}=7131$

$1-\frac{v^2}{C^2} = \left(\frac{1}{7131}\right)^2$

$v^2=C^2\left[1-\left(\frac{1}{7131}\right)^2\right]$

$v=0.99999999017C$

Δ = 1 - 0.99999999017

   = 0.00000000933

Relative mass, $m_{rel}=r.m$

                                $=7131 \times 1.6728 \times 10^{-27}$

                               $=1.1927 \times 10^{-23}$ kg

How does density affect refraction
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Explanation:

The angle and wavelength at which the light enters a substance and the density of that substance determine how much the light is refracted. ... When light passes from a more dense to a less dense substance, (for example passing from water into air), the light is refracted (or bent) away from the normal.

A copper rod at 25°C is 2.5 m long. How long would it take a sound to move through the rod from one end to another? how would I
andrew-mc [135]
Length of the copper rod = 2.5 meters
Speed at which sound travels through copper = 3560 meter per second
Let us assume the time taken
by sound to cover the given distance = x seconds
We already know that 
Speed = Distance/ Time
Then
Time = Distance/ Speed
x = 2.5/3560 seconds
   = 0.0007 seconds.
This can ve done by hitting one end of the rod and then receiving the sound at the other end and using the stop clock to measure the time taken.

If an 800.-kg sports car slows to 13.0 m/s to check out an accident scene and the 1200.-kg pick-up truck behind him continues tr
Alborosie

Answer: 20.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question above, we have the following data;

M1 = 800kg

M2 = 1200kg

V1 = 13m/s

V2 = 25m/s

U (common velocity) =?

M1V1 + M2V2 = (M1 + M2). U

(800*13) + (1200*25) = (800+1200) * U

10400 + 30000 = 2000u

40400 = 2000u

U = 40400 / 2000

U = 20.2 m/s

Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up
Westkost [7]

Answer:

24 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the cube = 6.0 kg

Consider the three cubes together as one.

M = mass of the three cubes together = 3 m = 3 (6.0) = 18 kg

a = acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²

F = Force applied on the combination

Using Newton's second law

F = ma = (18) (2) = 36 N

F_{L} = Force by the left cube on the middle cube

Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have

F - F_{L} = ma \\36 - F_{L} = (6) (2)\\F_{L} = 24 N

A car of m = 1200. kg collides with a tree while traveling 60.0 mph. The collision occurs over a time period of 0.0500 seconds.
MrRissso [65]
You may know linear momentum is given by P= mass.velocity. Initially car is moving with some velocity so you know initial momentum of the car. Finally it comes to rest i.e final momentum of the car is 0. According to Newton's second law : Force = change in momentum /time. Applying this you'll get answer as 642840N. Hope it helped you. Revert back to me if you have any questions. Please check out the calculation it might be wrong!
