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

On the way to school, the bus speeds up from 20 m/s to 36 m/s in 4 seconds. What distance
Tresset [83]
Answer B. 112 m



Step-by-Step Explanation

initial velocity u = 20 m /s
final velocity v = 36 m /s
time taken t = 4 s
acceleration = (v - U) / t
= (36 - 20) / 4
a=4m/s2
from the formula
7-u2=2as , sis distance covered
putting the values
362-202=2×4×s
1296 - 400 = 8 x S
S= 112 m
