Complete question:

How many x-ray photons per second are created by an x-ray tube that produces a flux of x rays having a power of 1.00 W. Assume the average energy per photon in 78.0 keV.

Answer:

The number of x-ray photons per second created by the x-ray tube is 8.01 x 10¹³ photons/sec

Explanation:

Given;

power of the flux produced, P = 1 W = 1 J/s

energy per photon, E = 78 keV

Convert the energy per photon to J

E = 78 x 10³ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.248 x 10⁻¹⁴ J / photon

let the number of photons = n

n(1.248 x 10⁻¹⁴ J / photon) = 1 J/s

$n = \frac{1 \ J/s}{1.248 \times 10^{-14}\ J/photon } = 8.01 \times 10^{13} \ photons/s$

Therefore, the number of x-ray photons per second created by the x-ray tube is 8.01 x 10¹³ photons/sec

Answer:

Actually, gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces. Ordered from strongest to weakest, the forces are 1) the strong nuclear force, 2) the electromagnetic force, 3) the weak nuclear force, and 4) gravity.

A 66-foot-tall woman walks at 55 ft/s toward a street light that is 2424 ft above the ground. What is the rate of change of th

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

a. $\frac{dx}{dt}=20ft/s$

b. $\frac{d(x+L)}{dt}==25ft/s$

Explanation:

Using the triangle theorem both triangle the woman makes between the light so the rate of change of length can use geometry first

$tan(\beta)=\frac{24ft}{L+x}=\frac{6ft}{x}$

Solve to find the rate relation

$x=\frac{24}{6}*L$

$x=4*L$

Now the rate of the change rate

$\frac{dx}{dt}=4*\frac{dL}{dt}$

$\frac{dx}{dt}=4*5ft/s=20ft/s$

Finally the rate of her shadow moving

$\frac{d(x+L)}{dt}=\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{dL}{dt}$

$\frac{d(x+L)}{dt}=20ft/s+5ft/s=25ft/s$

A proton moves from a location where V = 87 V to a spot where V = -40 V. (a) What is the change in the proton's kinetic energy?

Art [367]

Answer: a) 127 eV; b) there is no change of kinetic energy.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the change of potentail energy ( conservative field) is equal to changes in kinetic energy. So for the proton ther move to lower potential then they gain kinetic energy from the electric field. This means the electric force do work in this trayectory and then the protons increased changes its speed.

If we replace the proton by a electron we have a very different situaction, the electrons are located in a lower potental then they can not move to higher potential if any external force does work on the system.

In resumem, the electrons do not move from a point with V=87 to other point with V=-40 V. The electric force point to high potential so the electrons can not move to lower potential region (V=-40V).

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

speed of swimming in still water is given by the expression

distance / time

= 50 / 25

= 2 m /s

In lane 1 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing in the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of 2 + 1.2 = 3.2 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / 3.2 = 15.625 s

In lane 8 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing against the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of 2 - 1.2 = .8 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / .8 = 62.5 s
