What is the speed of a proton whose kinetic energy is 3.4 kev ?

1 answer:

8 0

The kinetic energy of the proton is 3.4 kev
1 kev = 1.602 × 10^-16 joules
therefore 3.4 kev is equivalent to;
3.4 × (1.602 ×10^-16)= 5.4468 × 10^-16 J
Kinetic energy is calculated by the formula 1/2mv² where m is the mass and v is the velocity.
Therefore V = √((2 × ( 5.4468×10^-16))/ (1.67 ×10^-27))
= 8.077 × 10^5 m/s

A 500 kg dragster accelerates from rest to a final speed of 100 m/s in 400 m (about a quarter of a mile) and encounters an avera

Fantom [35]

In order to accelerate the dragster at a speed $v_f = 100 m/s$ , its engine must do a work equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the dragster. Since it starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero, so the work done by the engine to accelerate the dragster to 100 m/s is
$W= K_f - K_i = K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J$

however, we must take into account also the fact that there is a frictional force doing work against the dragster, and the work done by the frictional force is:
$W_f = F_f d = -(1200 N)(400 m)= -4.8 \cdot 10^5 J$
and the sign is negative because the frictional force acts against the direction of motion of the dragster.

This means that the total work done by the dragster engine is equal to the work done to accelerate the dragster plus the energy lost because of the frictional force, which is $-W_f$ :
$W_t = W + (-W_f)=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J+4.8 \cdot 10^5 J=2.98 \cdot 10^6 J$

So, the power delivered by the engine is the total work divided by the time, t=7.30 s:
$P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{2.98 \cdot 10^6 J}{7.30 s}=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W$

And since 1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, we can rewrite the power as
$P=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W \cdot \frac{1 hp}{746 W} =547 hp$

Which one of the following concepts explains why heavy nuclei do not follow the N = Z line (or trend) in the figure? A Transmuta

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Option B. Coulomb Repulsion

Explanation:

The reason for the heavy nucleus not being able to follow the trend or the N= Z line is because of the fact that as the atomic number, Z of an atom increases, the number of protons inside the atom also increases. Since the neutrons are charge less particles whereas the protons are positively charged particle and hence as these increases in number there is an increase in the repulsive force between the like charges, i.e., positively charged protons which is Coulomb repulsion.

A solid circular plate has a mass of 0.25 kg and a radius of 0.30 m. It starts rolling from rest at the top of a hill 10 m long

KATRIN_1 [288]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of both kinetic of rolling objects and potential energy and the moment of inertia.

The net height from the point where it begins to roll with an inclination of 30 degrees would be

$h=Lsin30$

$h=10sin30$

$h=5m$

In the case of Inertia would be given by

$I = \frac{mR^2}{2}$

In general, given an object of mass m, an effective radius k can be defined for an axis through its center of mass, with such a value that its moment of inertia is

$I = mk^2$
