About what thickness of aluminum is needed to stop a beam of (a) 2.5-MeV electrons, (b) 2.5-MeV protons, and (c) 10-MeV alpha pa

Nana76 [90]

The thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

<h3>Thickness of the aluminum</h3>

The thickness of the aluminum can be determined using from distance of closest approach of the particle.

$K.E = \frac{2KZe^2}{r}$

where;

Z is the atomic number of aluminium = 13
e is charge
r is distance of closest approach = thickness of aluminium
k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

<h3>For 2.5 MeV electrons</h3>

$r = \frac{2KZe^2}{K.E} \\\\r = \frac{2 \times 9\times 10^9 \times 13\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{2.5 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\r = 1.5 \times 10^{-14} \ m$

<h3>For 2.5 MeV protons</h3>

Since the magnitude of charge of electron and proton is the same, at equal kinetic energy, the thickness will be same. r = 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

<h3>For 10 MeV alpha-particles</h3>

Charge of alpah particle = 2e

$r = \frac{2KZe^2}{K.E} \\\\r = \frac{2 \times 9\times 10^9 \times 13\times (2 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{10 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\r = 1.5 \times 10^{-14} \ m$

Thus, the thickness of aluminium needed to stop the beam electrons, protons and alpha particles at the given dfferent kinetic energies is 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ m.

Five kilograms of air at 427°C and 600 kPa are contained in a piston–cylinder device. The air expands adiabatically until the pr

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The entropy change of the air is $0.240kJ/kgK$

Explanation:

$T_{1} =427+273K,T_{1} =700K\\P_{1} =600kPa\\P_{2} =100kPa$

$T_{2}$ is unknown

we can apply the following expression to find $T_{2}$

$-w_{out} =mc_{v} (T_{2} -T_{1} )$

$T_{2} =T_{1} -\frac{w_{out } }{mc_{v} }$

now substitute

$T_{2} =700K-\frac{600kJ}{5kg*0.718kJ/kgK} \\T_{2}=533K$

To find entropy change of the air we can apply the ideal gas relationship

Δ $s_{air}$ $=c_{p} ln\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1} } -Rln\frac{P_{2} }{P_{1} }$

Δ $s_{air} =$ $1.005*ln(\frac{533}{700})-0.287* in(\frac{100}{600} )$

Δ $s_{air} =0.240kJ/kgK$

Stream Piracy – Kaaterskill, NY. Check and double-click the Problem 15 folder. The dark blue and orange streams highlight the pr

baherus [9]

Answer:

b. The pirating streams are eroding headwardly to intersect more of the other streams’ drainage basins, causing water to be diverted down their steeper gradients.

Explanation:

From the Kaaterskill NY 15 minute map (1906), this shows two classic examples of stream capture.

The Kaaterskill Creek flow down the east relatively steep slopes into the Hudson River Valley. While, the Gooseberry Creek is a low gradient stream flowing down the west direction which in turn drains the higher parts of the Catskills in this area.

However, there is Headward erosion of Kaaterskill Creek which resulted to the capture of part of the headwaters of Gooseberry Creek.

The evidence for this is the presence of "barbed" (enters at obtuse rather than acute angle) tributary which enters Kaaterskill Creek from South Lake which was once a part of the Gooseberry Creek drainage system.

It should be noted again, that there is drainage divide between the Gooseberry and Kaaterskill drainage systems (just to the left of the word Twilight) which is located in the center of the valley.

As it progresses, this divide will then move westward as Kaaterskill captures more and more of the Gooseberry system.

1. A thin plate of a ceramic material with E = 225 GPa is loaded in tension, developing a stress of 450 MPa. Is the specimen lik

mina [271]

Answer:

fracture will occur as the value is less than E/10 (= 22.5)

Explanation:

If the maximum strength at tip Is greater than theoretical fracture strength value then fracture will occur and if the maximum strength is lower than theoretical fracture strength then no fracture will occur.

$\sigma_m = 2\sigma_o [\frac{a}{\rho_t}]^{1/2}$

$= 2\times 750 (\frac{\frac{0.2mm}{2}}{0.001 mm}})^{1/2}$

= 15 GPa

fracture will occur as the value is less than E/10 = 22.5
