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.

A Pelton wheel is supplied with water from a lake at an elevation H above the turbine. The penstock that supplies the water to t

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Following are the proving to this question:

Explanation:

$\frac{D_1}{D} = \frac{1}{(2f(\frac{l}{D}))^{\frac{1}{4}}}$

using the energy equation for entry and exit value :

$\to \frac{p_o}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{o}}{2g}+Z_0 = \frac{p_1}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g}+Z_1+ f \frac{l}{D}\frac{V^{2}}{2g}$

where

$\to p_0=p_1=0\\\\\to Z_0=Z_1=H\\\\\to v_0=0\\\\AV =A_1V_1 \\\\\to V=(\frac{D_1}{D})^2 V_1\\\\\to V^2=(\frac{D_1}{D})^4 V^{2}_{1}$

$= (\frac{1}{(2f (\frac{l}{D} ))^{\frac{1}{4}}})^4\ V^{2}_{1}\\\\$

$= \frac{1}{(2f (\frac{l}{D}) )} \ V^{2}_{1}\\$

$\to \frac{p_o}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{o}}{2g}+Z_0 =\frac{p_1}{y} +\frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g}+Z_1+ f \frac{l}{D}\frac{V^{2}}{2g} \\\\$

$\to 0+0+Z_0 = 0 +\frac{V^{2}_{1} }{2g} +Z_1+ f \frac{l}{D} \frac{\frac{1}{(2f(\frac{l}{D}))}\ V^{2}_{1}}{2g} \\\\\to Z_0 -Z_1 = +\frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} \ (1+f\frac{l}{D}\frac{1}{(2f(\frac{l}{D}) )} ) \\\\\to H= \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} (\frac{3}{2}) \\\\\to \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{2g} = H(\frac{3}{2})$
