An accelerator produces a beam of protons with a circular cross section that is 2.0 mm in diameter and has a current of 1.0 mA.

The current density is uniformly distributed through the beam. The kinetic energy of each proton is 20 MeV. The beam strikes a metal target and is absorbed by the target. (a) What is the number density of the protons in the beam

Answer:

the number density of the protons in the beam is 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter D = 2.0 mm

current I = 1.0 mA

K.E of each proton is 20 MeV

the number density of the protons in the beam = ?

Now, we make use of the relation between current and drift velocity

I = MeAv ⇒ 1 / eAv

The kinetic energy of protons is given by;

K = \frac{1}{2}m_{p}v²

v = √( 2K / m_{p} )

lets relate the cross-sectional area A of the beam to its diameter D;

A = \frac{1}{4}πD²

now, we substitute for v and A

n = I / \frac{1}{4}πeD² ×√( 2K / m_{p} )

n = 4I/π eD² × √(m_{p} / 2K )

so we plug in our values;

n = ((4×1.0 mA)/(π(1.602×10⁻¹⁹C)(2mm)²) × √(1.673×10⁻²⁷kg / 2×( 20 MeV)(1.602×10⁻¹⁹ J/ev )

n =  1.98695 × 10¹⁸ × 1.6157967  × 10⁻⁵

n = 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³  

Therefore, the number density of the protons in the beam is 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³

A motorcycle traveling at 25 m/s accelerates ya a rate of 7.0 m/s2 for 6.0 seconds. What is the final velocity of the motorcycle
frutty [35]

First write down all your known variables:

vi = 25m/s

a = 7.0m/s^2

t = 6.0s

vf = ?

Then choose the kinematic equation that relates all the variables and solve for the unknown variable:

vf = vi + at

vf = (25) + (7.0)(6.0)

vf = 67m/s

The final velocity of the motorcycle is 67m/s.

A lamp in a child's Halloween costume flashes based on an RC discharge of a capacitor through its resistance. The effective dura
Genrish500 [490]

Power of the lamp = (voltage) x (current)

0.62 watt = (3.0 v) x (current)

Current = (0.62 watt) / (3.0 volt)

Current = 0.207 Ampere

Charge = (current) x (time)

Charge = (0.207 Amp) x (0.32 sec)

<em>a).  Charge = 0.066 Coulomb</em>

Energy discharge through the lamp = (charge) x (voltage)

Energy = (0.66 C) x (3.0 volt)

Energy = 0.1984 Joule

Energy stored in a capacitor = (1/2) (Capacitance) (voltage²)

0.1984 Joule = (1/2) (Cap) (3.0 v)²

Cap = 2 x 0.1984 / 9

<em>b).  Cap = 0.044 Farad</em> (yikes !)

Resistance of the lamo = (voltage) / (current)

Resistance = (3.0 volt) / (0.207 Amp)

<em>c).  Resistance = 14.49 Ω</em>

All of this feels OK except for that ridiculous 44,000 μF, 3v capacitor.  Sadly, I have checked my work without finding an error, and I am too lazy to check it again.  So I'll call this my final answer, and leave it to some better Brainly person to find where I went wrong.

A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is an evacuated glass tube. Electrons are produced at one end, usually by the heating of a metal. After
Kobotan [32]

Answer: v = 5.79 * 10^10m/s.

Explanation: By using the work-energy theorem, we know that the work done on the electron by the potential difference equals the kinetic energy of the electrons.

Mathematically, we have that

qV = 1/2mv²

q= magnitude of an electronic charge = 1.609*10^-16c

V= potential difference = 95v

m = mass of an electronic charge = 9.11* 10^-31kg.

v = velocity of electron.

Let us substitute the parameters, we have that

1.609*10^-16 * 95 = (9.11*10^-31 * v²) /2

1.609*10^-16 * 95 * 2 = 9.11*10^-31 * v²

305.71 * 10^-16 = 9.11 * 10^-31 * v²

v² = 305.71 * 10^-16/ 9.11 * 10^-31

v² = 3.355 * 10^21.

v = √3.355 * 10^21

v = 5.79 * 10^10 m/s
