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

A child throws a ball vertically upward to a friend on a balcony 28 m above him. The friend misses the ball on its upward flight
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

t=1.9 sec

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height h=28m

Time t=3s

Generally the Newton's equation for Initial velocity upward is mathematically given by

 s=ut+\frtac{1}{2}at^2

 28=3u-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*3^2

 u=24.03m/s

Generally the velocity at  elevation and depression occurs  as ball arrives and passes through S=28

 v=\sqrt{24.03-2*9.8*28}

 v=5.35m/s and -5.35m/s

Generally the Newton's equation for time to reach initial velocity  is mathematically given by

 v=u+at

 5.35=24.03-9.8t

 t=\frac{28.03-5.35}{9.8}

 t=1.9 sec

If Earth were completely blanketed with clouds and we couldn’t see the sky, could we learn about the realm beyond the clouds? Wh
Fudgin [204]

The definition of waves that propagate through electric fields is called electromagnetic waves. The earth, despite being covered with clouds, can be 'affected' because waves such as sunlight or the moon have the ability to penetrate and be visible to the inhabitants of the earth. Microwaves and radio waves would be less affected by the clouds that cover the Earth.

Through these waves, you can know that there is beyond the clouds.

Ultraviolet light, microwaves and radio waves are the radiations that penetrate through the clouds and reach the Earth's surface.

Therefore, the answer is Yes, ultraviolet light, microwaves and radio waves are the forms of radiation that penetrate and reach the ground.
