Calculate the radiative and collisional energy losses (in keV/micron) for a 1.9 MeV electron in lead and determine the rad./coll. ratio. (b) Plexiglas is often used to shield high-energy beta emitters rather than lead, even though lead is a better shield against the bremsstrahlung photons. Both shields will stop the high-energy beta, so why is Plexiglas used instead of lead?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

During an energy transfer, the collision loss for an electron can be determined by using the formula:

[tex]Q = \dfrac{4mME }{(m+M)^2}[/tex]

However; from the total stopping power & power loss of the electron;

[tex]\dfrac{radiational \ energy \ loss}{colisional \ energy \ loss } = \dfrac{ZE}{800}[/tex]

where;

Z = atomic no. for lead = 82

E = 1.9 MeV

radiational energy loss = collisional energy loss  [tex]=\dfrac{82 \times 1.9}{800}[/tex]

= 0.19475

b)

Normally, the traditional lead shielding in its pure shape contains high brittleness. However, the functionality of this carbon group chemical element is useful for protection because it has an excessive density.

Initially, the conventional lead protection however reduces the mild clarity at the same moment as plexiglass is useful for light transmittance and readability.

Moreover, the traditional lead with its high density and thickness reduces observation features, in the meantime, the plexiglass is a whole lot higher than the stated.

Finally, plexiglass contains a high dimensional balance with an excessive dielectric constant.

Astronauts aboard the ISS move at about 8000 m/s, relative to us when we look upward.How long does an astronaut need to stay aboard the space station to be a full second youngerthan people on the ground? Please show and explain how you would set-up the problem,before you actually try to solve it. If you cannot solve it exactly, please try to offer an estimate.(5 pts)

Answers

Answer:

#_time = 7.5 10⁴ s

Explanation:

In order for the astronaut to be younger than the people on earth, it follows that the speed of light has a constant speed in vacuum (c = 3 108 m / s), therefore with the expressions of special relativity we have.

            t = [tex]\frac{t_p}{ \sqrt{1- (v/c)^2} }[/tex]

where t_p is the person's own time in an immobile reference frame,

           [tex]t_{p} = t \sqrt{1 - (\frac{v}{c})^2 }[/tex]

let's calculate

we assume that the speed of the space station is constant

              [tex]t_p = 1 \sqrt{1 - \frac{8 \ 10^3}{3 \ 10^8} }[/tex]

             [tex]t_p = 1 \sqrt{1- 2.6666 \ 10^{-5}}[/tex]

             t_ =  0.99998666657   s

             

therefore the time change is

             Δt = t - t_p

             Δt = 1 - 0.9998666657                  

              Δt = 1.3333 10⁻⁵ s

this is the delay in each second, therefore we can use a direct rule of proportions. If Δt was delayed every second, how much second (#_time) is needed for a total delay of Δt = 1 s

               #_time = 1 / Δt

               #_time =[tex]\frac{1}{1.3333 \ 10^{-5}}[/tex]

               #_time = 7.5 10⁴ s

Answers

Answer:

2.5 m/s^2

Explanation:

First, convert 90 km/hr into m/s:

90/3.6 = 25 m/s

vf = final velocity = 25 m/s

vi = initial velocity = 0 m/s

t = time = 10 seconds

a = acceleration, unknown

Then, find a using the following equation:

(vf - vi)/t = a

(25 m/s)/10 s = 2.5 m/s^2

a = 2.5 m/s^2

Answers

Complete question is;

A rope, attached to a weight, goes up through a pulley at the ceiling and back down to a worker. The worker holds the rope at the same height as the connection point between the rope and weight. The distance from the connection point to the ceiling is 40 ft. Suppose the worker stands directly next to the weight (i.e., a total rope length of 80 ft) and begins to walk away at a constant rate of 3 ft/s. How fast is the weight rising when the worker has walked:

A) 10 feet

B) 30 feet

Answer:

A) 0.728 ft/s

B) 1.8 ft/s

Explanation:

Let the the position of the worker in ft be denoted by s.

Since he begins to walk away at a constant rate of 3 ft/s, then;

ds/dt = 3 ft/s

Now, the rope will form a triangle, with width "s" and the height 40. Since distance from the connection point to the ceiling = 40 ft

Using pythagoras theorem, we can find the length of the rope on this side of the pulley.

Hence, the length of rope on this side of the pulley = √(s² + 40²)

Meanwhile, on the other side the length will be;

(80) - √(s² + 40²)

Also, height of the weight will be;

h = 40 - ((80) - √(s² + 80²))

h = √(s² + 80²) - 40

Differentiating this, we have;

dh/dt = (ds/dt) × (s/√(s² + 40²))

From earlier, we saw that ds/dt = 3 ft/s

Thus;

dh/dt = 3s/√(s² + 40²)

A) when he has walked 10 ft, it means that s = 10. Thus;

dh/dt = (3 × 10)/√(10² + 40²)

dh/dt = 0.728 ft/s

B) when he has walked 30 ft, it means that s = 30. Thus;

dh/dt = (30 × 3)/√(30² + 40²)

dh/dt = 1.8 ft/s

Displacement vector A points due east and has a magnitude of 1.9 km. Displacement vector B points due north and has a magnitude of 2.08 km. Displacement vector C points due west and has a magnitude of 2.4 km. Displacement vector D points due south and has a magnitude of 2.8 km. Find the magnitude and direction (relative to due east) of the resultant vector A + B + C + D

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall represent all the four displacement in vector form  in terms of unit vector i and j where i represents unit vector towards east , j represents unit vector towards north .

Displacement of A

D₁ = 1.9 i

Displacement of B

D₂ = 2.08 j

Displacement of C

D₃ = - 2.4 i

Displacement of D

D₄ = -2.8 j

Resultant displacement

= 1.9 i + 2.08 j - 2.4 i - 2.8 j

= - 0.5 i - 0.72 j

magnitude of resultant vector

= √ ( .5² + .72² )

=√ ( .25 + .5184 )

= √ .7684

= .876 km

Both i and j are negative of resultant displacement

hence its direction is towards south of west . Angle with west is Ф .

TanФ = .5184 / .25 = 2.0736

Ф = 64.25° .

From east direction is  = 180 + 64.25 = 244.25° .

If a car's speed triples, how does the momentum and kinetic energy of the

car change? Answer in form (momentum change, kinetic energy change)

Answers

Answer: When the car speed triples, momentum also triples but Kinetic energy increases 9 times or by 9 fold.

Explanation:

The momentum of a car (an object) is

p= mv

where

m is =the mass of the object( in this case car)

v is its= velocity

While the kinetic energy is is given by the formulae

K=1/2mv²

To determine how momentum and kinetic energy of the  car changes when the speed of the object triples, We have that the new velocity,

v¹= 3v

So that  the momentum  change becomes

p¹=mv¹=m (3v)= 3mv

mv=p

therefore p¹= 3p

we can see that the momentum also triples.

And the kinetic energy change  becomes

K¹=1/2m(v¹)²= 1/2m (3v)²

= 1/2m9v²= 1/2 x m x 9 x v²=9 x1/2mv²

1/2mv²=K

K¹= Kinetic energy = 9k

but Kinetic energy increases 9 times

Answers

Answer:

The potential between the plates will decrease.

Explanation:

An insulator is usually placed between the parallel plates and is also called a dielectric because it makes the amount of charge a capacitor can accommodate to increase at a particular potential difference.

Furthermore, the dielectric effect will make the electric field of the charged capacitor which is not connected to a source of supply to decrease.

Now, when the battery is removed, the charge Q remains constant and Capacity C will increase.

Formula for the potential difference is here;

V = Q/C

Since the numerator Q is constant and the denominator C increases, it means the potential difference V will decrease

Two blocks collide on a frictionless surface, as shown above. They have a combined mass of 10 kg and a speed of 2.5 m/s. Before the collision, one of the blocks was at rest. This block had a mass of 8 kg. What was the speed of the second block?

Answers

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

Excuse my scribbles!

I had to work backwards using the inelastic collision formula for this problem.

Formula: V=(M₁V₁+M₂V₂)/(M₁+M₂)V= Combined SpeedM₁= Block 1's MassV₁= Block 1's Velocity M₂= Block 2's MassV₂= Block 2's Velocity

Step 1: Substitute in the values provided in the problem

Combined mass: 10kgCombined speed: 2.5m/sBlock 1's mass: 8kgBlock 1's speed: 0

2.5=(8*0)+(?*?)/(8+?)

Step 2: Subtract block 1's mass from the combined mass to determine block 2's mass

10-8=2     Block 2's mass is 2.

2.5=(8*0)+(2*x)/(8+2)    

Now simplify.

2.5=(2*x)/(8+2)

2.5=2x/10

Step 3: Multiply both sides by the reciprocal

Answers

Answer:

The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation:

Answer: The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground. The reason is as follows:

Reasoning:

The power lines are parallel to the ground hence, their electric field will be perpendicular to the ground and equipotential surface will be cylindrical.

Hence, if you will put fluorescent tube parallel to the ground then both the ends of the tube will lie on the same equipotential surface and the potential difference will be zero.

So, to maximize the potential the ends of the tube must be on different equipotential surfaces. The surface which is near to the power line has high potential value and the surface which is farther from the line has lower potential value.

hence, to maximize the potential difference, the tube must be placed perpendicular to the ground.

You throw a small rock straight up from the edge of a highway bridge that crosses a river. The rock passes you on its way down, 5.00 s after it was thrown. What is the speed of the rock just before it reaches the water 22.0 m below the point where the rock left your hand? Ignore air resistance.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

for vertical movement , time to reach the top = time to reach the hand = 2.5 s

v = u - gt

At the top , v = 0 , time t = 2.5 s

0 = u - g x 2.5

u = 2.5 x 9.8 = 24.5 m /s

velocity of throw = 24.5 m /s

So , when it passes the hand on its way down , it will have velocity equal to 24.5 m /s and it will accelerate downwards . Let its velocity down by 22 m be v

v² = u² + 2 g s

= 24.5² + 2 x 9.8 x 22

= 600.25 + 431.2

= 1031.45

v = 32.11 m /s .

A Van de Graaff generator is one of the original particle accelerators and can be used to accelerate charged particles like protons or electrons. You may have seen it used to make human hair stand on end or produce large sparks. One application of the Van de Graaff generator is to create x-rays by bombarding a hard metal target with the beam. Consider a beam of protons at 1.10 keV and a current of 4.65 mA produced by the generator.
(a) What is the speed of the protons?
(b) How many protons are produced each second?

Answers

Solution :

Given that :

The energy of the protons, K.E. = 1.10 keV

                                                    [tex]$= 1.10 \times 10^3 \ eV $[/tex]

The current produced by the generator is I = 5 mA

                                                                        [tex]$= 5 \times 10^{-3} \ A$[/tex]

Now [tex]$1 \ eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19 }\ J$[/tex]

Mass of the proton, m = [tex]$1.67 \times 10^_{-27} $[/tex] kg

Charge of the proton, [tex]$q_p = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$[/tex]

a). Therefore using the formula for K.E. we can find out the velocity of the proton.

[tex]$K.E. =\frac{1}{2}mv^2$[/tex]

[tex]$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K.E.}{m}}$[/tex]

[tex]$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 10^3 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}}$[/tex]

  [tex]$= 4.38 \times 10^5 \ m/s$[/tex]

b). We know that the current is :

 [tex]$I=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}$[/tex]

Therefore, the total charge in one second is given by :

[tex]$\Delta Q = I \times \Delta t$[/tex]

     [tex]$= 5 \times 10^{-3} \times 1$[/tex]

    [tex]$= 5 \times 10^{-3}\ C$[/tex]

So, the number of protons in this charge is given by :

[tex]$n = \frac{\Delta Q}{q_p}$[/tex]

  [tex]$=\frac{5 \times 10^{-3} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$[/tex]

  [tex]$= 3.13 \times 10^{16}$[/tex] protons
