Answer:
a. 5 × 10¹⁹ protons b. 2.05 × 10⁷ °C
Explanation:
Here is the complete question
A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is 0.42 A. (a) How many protons strike the target in 19 seconds? (b) Each proton has a kinetic energy of 6.0 x 10-12 J. Suppose the target is a 17-gram block of metal whose specific heat capacity is 860 J/(kg Co), and all the kinetic energy of the protons goes into heating it up. What is the change in temperature of the block at the end of 19 s?
Solution
a.
i = Q/t = ne/t
n = it/e where i = current = 0.42 A, n = number of protons, e = proton charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and t = time = 19 s
So n = 0.42 A × 19 s/1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
= 4.98 × 10¹⁹ protons
≅ 5 × 10¹⁹ protons
b
The total kinetic energy of the protons = heat change of target
total kinetic energy of the protons = n × kinetic energy per proton
= 5 × 10¹⁹ protons × 6.0 × 10⁻¹² J per proton
= 30 × 10⁷ J
heat change of target = Q = mcΔT ⇒ ΔT = Q/mc where m = mass of block = 17 g = 0.017 kg and c = specific heat capacity = 860 J/(kg °C)
ΔT = Q/mc = 30 × 10⁷ J/0.017 kg × 860 J/(kg °C)
= 30 × 10⁷/14.62
= 2.05 × 10⁷ °C
Answer: Enceladus
Explanation:
Enceladus is a small, icy body with an undergound ocean beneath its crust. Cassini discovered that geyser-like jets spew water vapor and ice particles. It is also the sixth largest moon in Saturn and just about a tenth of the largest moon in Saturn; Titan. It is often regarded as one of the most reflective body in the solar system as a result of its icy surface.
