An X-Ray tube is an evacuated glass tube, where the electrons are produced at one end and accelerated by a strong electric field

towards the other end. If they move fast enough when they strike the positive electrode at the other end, they will give up their energy as X-Rays
(a) Through what potential difference should electrons be accelerated so that their speed is 1% of the speed of light?
(b) What potential difference would be needed to give the protons same kinetic energy as electrons?
(c) What speed would this potential difference give to the protons, both in m/s and as a % of the speed of light.

Answer:

a) ΔV = 25.59 V, b)  ΔV = 25.59 V,  c)  v = 7 10⁴ m / s,  v/c= 2.33 10⁻⁴ ,

v/c% = 2.33 10⁻²

Explanation:

a) The speed they ask for electrons is much lower than the speed of light, so we don't need relativistic corrections, let's use the concepts of energy

starting point. Where the electrons come out

          Em₀ = U = e DV

final point. Where they hit the target

          Em_f = K = ½ m v2

energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

         e ΔV = ½ m v²

         ΔV = \frac{1}{2} mv²/e     (1)

If the speed of light is c and this is 100% then 1% is

         v = 1% c = c / 100

         v = 3 10⁸/100 = 3 10⁶6 m/ s

let's calculate

         ΔV = \frac{1}{2}  \frac{9.1 \ 10^{-31} (3 10^6 )^2 }{ 1.6 10^{-19} }

         ΔV = 25.59 V

b) Ask for the potential difference for protons with the same kinetic energy as electrons

             K_e = K_p

              K_p = ½ m v_e²

              K_p = \frac{1}{2}  9.1 10⁻³¹ (3 10⁶)²

              K_p = 40.95 10⁻¹⁹ J

we substitute in equation 1

              ΔV = Kp / M

              ΔV = 40.95 10⁻¹⁹ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

              ΔV = 25.59 V

notice that these protons go much slower than electrons because their mass is greater

c) The speed of the protons is

             e ΔV = ½ M v²

             v² = 2 e ΔV / M

             v² = \frac{2 \ 1.6 \ 10^{-19} \ 25.59 }{1.67 \ 10^{-27} }

              v² = 49,035 10⁸

               v = 7 10⁴ m / s

Relation

        v/c = \frac{7 \ 10^4 }{ 3 \ 10^8}

        v/c= 2.33 10⁻⁴

Does the sun sun traces shortest path across local sky on june solstice
viktelen [127]
The June solstice in the Northern hemisphere is the summer solstice. The June Solstice in the Southern hemisphere is the winter solstice. The summer solstice is equivalent to the longest day while the winter solstice is equivalent to the shortest day. Therefore on the local sky, when is the June solstice we have have the longest day (longest path of sun in the sky) in the Northern hemisphere and the shortest day (shortest path of sun in the sky) in the Southern hemisphere.

How is the surface area of an average person is 2m^2 in the chapter pressure
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

We have to show surface area =2m^2,with few conditions that is by considering Force =200000\ N and Pressure =100000\ Pa to be respectively.

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure is =10^{5}\ Pa on Earth's surface.

The magnitude of the force exerted on a person by the atmosphere is =2\times 10^{5}\N (or)\ 200kN\ (or)\ 20\ ton.

Now to calculate surface area we can find it from pressure=\frac{force}{area} and re-arranging it to.

area=\frac{force}{pressure}

So plugging the values,

Surface area =\frac{20000}{10000}=2\ m^{2}

Hence from the above calculations we can say that surface area is 2m^2.

So the surface area of an average person can be said to have 2m^2, using the concept of pressure and force.

How is force useful as well as harmful.<br>Comment with the statement.​
vladimir1956 [14]

No, we can't say force is useful or harmful. All else being equal, force is either not harmful or useful depending on the body that is applying it and where it is applying it.

Given how it affects motion, force is a crucial idea. It is a relationship that, in the absence of an opposing force, modifies an object's motion. However, a push or a pull that any object feels is the simplest definition of force. Due to the fact that force is a vector quantity, it possesses both a magnitude and a direction.

How force is useful

A body at rest can move with enough force.A body in motion may be slowed down or stopped by it.It has the power to quicken the pace of an object in motion.Along with its shape and size, it can also alter the direction of a moving body.

How force is harmful

  • Force has the power to alter an object's state of motion.
  • Moving objects can shift direction due to force.
  • Moving things' speeds can be increased by force.
  • Moving items can become slower due to force.
  • Force has the power to alter an object's shape.
