Answer:
Explanation:
consider the mass of each train car be m
m₁ = m₂ = m₃ = m
speed of the three identical train
u₁ = u₂ = u₃ = 1.8 m/s
m₄ = m u₄ = 4.5 m/s
m₅ = m u₅ = 0 (initial velocity )
final velocity
v₁ = v₂ = v₃ = v₄ = v₅ = v
using conservation of momentum
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ + m₃u₃ + m₄u₄ + m₅u₅ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ + m₃v₃ + m₄v₄ + m₅v₅
m (1.8 + 1.8 + 1.8 +4.5) = 5 m v
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 = v²
v = √( 2K / )
lets relate the cross-sectional area A of the beam to its diameter D;
A = πD²
now, we substitute for v and A
n = I / πeD² ×√( 2K /
)
n = 4I/π eD² × √( / 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
