Beams of high-speed protons can be produced in "guns" using electric fields to accelerate the protons. A certain gun has an elec

tric field of 1.76 x 10 4 N/C. What speed would the proton obtain if the field accelerated the proton through a distance of 1.00 cm?

Answer: v = 2.75 * 10^7 m/s

Explanation: Since the electric field is a uniform one and the distance is small, the motion of the electron is of a constant acceleration, hence newton's laws of motion is applicable.

From the question

E=strength of electric field = 214N/c

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

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

v = velocity of electron.

S= distance covered = 1cm = 0.01m

a = acceleration of electron.

F = ma but F=Eq

Eq = ma.

a = Eq/m

a = 214 * 1.609*10^-16/ 9.11 * 10^-31

a = 344.32 * 10^-16/ 9.11 * 10 ^-31

a = 3. 779* 10^16 m/s²

Before the electron is accelerated, they are always not moving, hence initial velocity (u) = 0.

By using the equation of motion, we have

v² = u² + 2aS

But u = 0

v² = 2aS

v²= 2* 3.779*10^16 * 0.01

v² = 7.558 * 10^14

v = √7.558 * 10^14

v = 2.75 * 10^7 m/s.

what happens to the current in a circuit if the resitance of the components in the circuit is increased​
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The current decreases.

Explanation:

Current and resistance are inversely proportional. The equation connecting current, resistance and voltage is V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance.

Rearranging this equation, you get:

I = \frac{V}{R}

and

R = \frac{V}{I}

If the value of voltage in both equations remains constant, and the value of R decreases, the value of I will increase. Conversely, if in the second equation R = \frac{V}{I} , the value of V remains constant the value of I decreases, then the value of R, resistance will increase.

Thus, it can be seen that the current will decrease as resistance increases and vice versa.

How do magnetic forces repel or attract?
Lerok [7]

“Magnets are surrounded by an invisible magnetic field that is made by the movement of electrons, the subatomic particles that circle the nucleus of an atom”



“Every magnet has both a north and a south pole. When you place the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another. When you place like poles of two magnets near each other (north to north or south to south), they will repel each other.”

The Hubble Space Telescope in orbit above the Earth has a 2.4 m circular aperture. The telescope has equipment for detecting ult
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Option d

The minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is 4.8x10^{-8}rad.  

Explanation:

The resulting image in a telescope that will be gotten from an object is a diffraction pattern instead of a perfect point (point spread function (PSF)).

That diffraction pattern is gotten because the light encounters different obstacles on its path inside the telescope (interacts with the walls and edges of the instrument).

 

The diffraction pattern is composed by a central disk, called Airy disk, and diffraction rings.    

 

The angular resolution is defined as the minimal separation at which two sources can be resolved one for another, or in other words, when the distance between the two diffraction pattern maxima is greater than the radius of the Airy disk.

The angular resolution can be determined in analytical way by means of the Rayleigh criterion.          

\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}  (1)

Where \lambda is the wavelength and D is the diameter of the telescope.

Notice that it is necessary to express the wavelength in the same units than the diameter.

\lambda = 95nm \cdot \frac{1x10^{-9}m}{1nm} ⇒ 9.5x10^{-8}m

Finally, equation 1 can be used.

\theta = 1.22(\frac{9.5x10^{-8}m}{2.4m})

\theta = 4.8x10^{-8}rad              

Hence, the minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is 4.8x10^{-8}rad.
