Answer:

k. e. = 1/2 mv^2

1/2 * 1000 * (5)^2

1/2 * 1000 * 25

12500 joules

k. e. = 1/2 mv^2

1/2 * 1000 * (10)^2

1/2 * 1000 * 100

50000

change in k. e. = final - initial

50000 - 12500

= 37500 joules

hope it helps you

By what potential difference must a proton [m_0 = 1.67E-27 kg) be accelerated to have a wavelength lambda = 4.23E-12 m? By what

Vinil7 [7]

Explanation:

1. Mass of the proton, $m_p=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

Wavelength, $\lambda_p=4.23\times 10^{-12}\ m$

We need to find the potential difference. The relationship between potential difference and wavelength is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_pq_pV}}$

$V=\dfrac{h^2}{2q_pm_p\lambda^2}$

$V=\dfrac{(6.62\times 10^{-34})^2}{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (4.23\times 10^{-12})^2}$

V = 45.83 volts

2. Mass of the electron, $m_p=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

Wavelength, $\lambda_p=4.23\times 10^{-12}\ m$

We need to find the potential difference. The relationship between potential difference and wavelength is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_eq_eV}}$

$V=\dfrac{h^2}{2q_em_e\lambda^2}$

$V=\dfrac{(6.62\times 10^{-34})^2}{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times (4.23\times 10^{-12})^2}$

$V=6.92\times 10^{34}\ V$

V = 84109.27 volt

Hence, this is the required solution.

A straight trail with a uniform inclination of 15 degrees leads from a lodge at an elevation of 600 feet to a mountain lake at a

9966 [12]

Answer:

The length of the trail = 22796 ft

Explanation:

From the ΔABC

AC = length of the trail = x

AB = 6100 - 600 = 5500 ft

Angle of inclination $\theta$ = 15°

$\sin \theta = \frac{AB}{AC}$

$\sin 15 = \frac{5900}{x}$

$x = \frac{5900}{0.2588}$

x = 22796 ft

Since x = AC = Length of the trail.

Therefore the length of the trail = 22796 ft

Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human body. Potassium occurs naturally in our environment and th

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

a) 0.0288 grams

b) $2.6*10^{-10} J/kg$

Explanation:

Given that:

A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass

The abundance for the three isotopes are:

Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41 with abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728% respectively.

Thus; a person with a mass of 80 kg will posses = 80 × 3 = 240 grams of potassium.

However, the amount of potassium that is present in such person is :

0.012% × 240 grams

= 0.012/100 × 240 grams

= 0.0288 grams

the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body is calculate as follows:

First the Dose in (Gy) = $\frac{energy \ absorbed }{mass \ of \ the \ body}$

= $\frac{1.10*10^6*1.6*10^{-14}}{80}$

= $2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg$

Effective dose (Sv) = RBE × Dose in Gy

Effective dose (Sv) = $1.2 *2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg$

Effective dose (Sv) = $2.6*10^{-10} J/kg$
