Answer: a) speed = 3.45 × 10^-2 m/s
b) speed = 1.38 × 10^-1 m/s
Explanation: shown in the attachment
Answer:
Option B) This minimizes the harmful side effects of the radiations
Explanation:
Half-life is the time taken for the decay of an radio-active atom in which it disintegrates such that it becomes half of its value at the beginning.... The nuclei should be in active mode for a longer duration sufficient for the treatment of the condition but these nuclei should have a sufficient shorter half life so that they don't get enough time to cause any damage to the health of the person other than treating the cause.
A shorter half life gives the assurance that the radiation after the treatment will leave the body without getting accumulated and cause harm to the body cells and other organs.
(a) The proton’s potential energy change is 3.6 x 10⁻¹⁸ J.
(b) The potential difference between the negative plate and a point midway between the plates is 11.25 V.
(c) The speed of the proton just before it hits the negative plate is 6.57 x 10⁴ m/s.
<h3>
Potential energy of the proton</h3>
U = qΔV
where;
- q is charge of the proton
- ΔV is potential difference
U = q(Ed)
U = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)(1500 x 1.5 x 10⁻²)
U = 3.6 x 10⁻¹⁸ J
<h3>Potential difference between the negative plate and a point midway</h3>
ΔV = E(0.5d)
ΔV = 0.5Ed
ΔV = 0.5 (1500)(1.5 x 10⁻²)
ΔV = 11.25 V
<h3>Speed of the proton </h3>
U = ¹/₂mv²
U = mv²
v² = 2U/m
where;
- m is mass of proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
v² = (2 x 3.6 x 10⁻¹⁸) / ( 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷)
v² = 4.311 x 10⁹
v = √(4.311 x 10⁹)
v = 6.57 x 10⁴ m/s
Thus, the proton’s potential energy change is 3.6 x 10⁻¹⁸ J.
The potential difference between the negative plate and a point midway between the plates is 11.25 V.
The speed of the proton just before it hits the negative plate is 6.57 x 10⁴ m/s.
