Answer:
(a). The work done is 7001 MeV.
(b). The momentum of this proton is
.
Explanation:
Given that,
Speed = 0.993 c
We need to calculate the work done
Using work energy theorem
The work done is equal to the kinetic energy relative to the proton


Put the value into the formula




(b). We need to calculate the momentum of this proton
Using formula of momentum

Put the value into the formula




Hence, (a). The work done is 7001 MeV.
(b). The momentum of this proton is
.
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) gauge pressure will be due to water column of length 15 cm .
pressure = h d g , h is height of column , d is density of column and g is gravitational acceleration .
= .15 x 10³ x 9.8
= 1470 Pa .
b )
Let due of weight of water column , mercury level in left column goes down by distance h . The level of mercury in right column will rise by the same distance ie by distance h .
So mercury column of 2h height is balancing the water column of height 15 cm
2h x 13.6 x 10³ x g = .15 x 10³ x g
h = .15 / (2 x 13.6)
= .55 x 10⁻² m
= . 55 cm
Difference of height of water column and mercury column
= 15 - 2 x .55 cm
= 13.9 cm .
