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 soft-drink bottler purchases glass bottles from a vendor. The bottles are required to have internal pressure strength of at le

maria [59]

Answer: K =24 psi

Explanation:

Given: Standard deviation =3psi

Internal pressure strength =157psi

Number of random bottle =n=64

K= 3 × square root of 64

K= 3×8=24 psi

If mean internal pressure K fall below K,

157-1.3=155.7psi

At 2%:

0.16×64 = 10.24

Which best describes how energy changes form in a car's engine?

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Multiple transformations occur because the chemical energy of the fuel is changed to several forms of energy

Explanation:

In a car engine, multiple energy transformation takes place. The chemical energy storef in fuel is transformed into mechanical energy which helps move the wheels of the vehicle.

The mechanical energy can also be transformed into electrical energy through a sort of dynamo system in vehicles. Stereo players use the electrical energy to produce sound.

We see that multiple energy conversions are common in a motor car.

A particular planet has a moment of inertia of 9.74 × 1037 kg ⋅ m2 and a mass of 5.98 × 1024 kg. Based on these values, what is

malfutka [58]

Answer: A) $6.38(10)^{6} m$

Explanation:

The equation for the moment of inertia $I$ of a sphere is:

$I=\frac{2}{5}mr^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$I=9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2}$ is the moment of inertia of the planet (assumed with the shape of a sphere)

$m=5.98(10)^{24}kg$ is the mass of the planet

$r$ is the radius of the planet

Isolating $r$ from (1):

$r=\sqrt{\frac{5I}{2m}}$ (2)

Solving:

$r=\sqrt{\frac{5(9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2})}{2(5.98(10)^{24}kg)}}$ (3)

Finally:

$r=6381149.077m \approx 6.38(10)^{6} m$

Therefore, the correct option is A.

how much gravitational potential energy do you give a 70 kg person when you lift him up 3 m in the air?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Given gravitational potential energy when he's lifted is 2058 J.

Kinetic energy is transferred to the person.

Amount of kinetic energy the person has is -2058 J

velocity of person = 7.67 m/s².

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Given:

Weight of person = 70 kg

Lifted height = 3 m

1. Gravitational potential energy of a lifted person is equal to the work done.

$PE_g=W=m\times g\times h\\Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 \ m/s^2 \\PE_g= m = m\times g\times h= 70\times 9.8 \times 3 = 2058\ kg.m/s^2 = 2058\ J$
