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:

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.

On Earth, the number flux of solar neutrinos from the p-p chain is:

f_neutrino = 2fo/2.62MeV

Other nuclear reactions in the Sun supplement this neutrino flux with a small additional flux of higher-energy neutrinos. A neutrino detector in Japan, named SuperKamiokande, consists of a tank of 50 kton of water, surrounded by photomultiplier tubes. The tubes detect the flash of Cerenkov radiation emitted by a recoiling electron when a high-energy neutrino scatters on it.

Required:
a. How many electrons are there in the water of the detector?
b. Calculate the detection rate for neutrino scattering, in events per day.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The volume of the tank = 50 kton

50 kton = 5 × 10⁷ kg

Since 18 grams of water will contain: 10 electrons × 6.023 × 10²³

Then;

5× 10⁷ kg will contain [tex]( \dfrac{5 \times 10^7 \times 10^3}{18}) \times 10 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}[/tex]

= 1.67 × 10³⁴ electrons

(b)

Suppose:

[tex]f_{neutrino} = \dfrac{2f_o}{26.2 MeV} = 6.7\times 10^{10} \ s^{-1} cm^{-2}[/tex]

Then;

10⁻⁶ of [tex]f_{neutrino} = 6.7 \times 10^{10} \times 10^{-6} \ s^{-1} cm^{-2}[/tex]

[tex]=6.7 \times 10^{4}\ s^{-1} cm^{-2}[/tex]

Thus, the number of high energy neutrinos which will interact with water is:

= [tex]6.7 \times 10^4 \times \sigma[/tex]

= [tex]6.7 \times 10^4 \times 10^{-43}[/tex]

= [tex]6.7 \times 10^{-39} s^{-1}[/tex]

For  1.67 × 10³⁴ electrons, the detection rate is:

[tex]6.7 \times 10^{-39} \times 1.67 \times 10^{34}[/tex]

[tex]= 11.19 \times 10^{-5} \ s^{-1}[/tex]

Formula One racers speed up much more quickly than normal passenger vehicles, and they also can stop in a much shorter distance. A Formula One racer traveling at 90m/s can stop in a distance of 110m. What is the magnitude of the car's acceleration as it slows during braking?

Answers

Answer:

The magnitude of the car's acceleration as it slows during braking is 36.81 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question, the given values are as follows:

Initial velocity, u = 90 m/s

final velocity, v = 0 m/s

distance, s = 110 m

acceleration, a = ?

Using the equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as

(90)² + 2 * 110 * a = 0

8100 + 220a = 0

220a = -8100

a = -8100/220

a = -36.81 m/s²

The value for acceleration is negative showing that car is decelerating to a stop. The magnitude of the car's acceleration as it slows during braking is therefore 36.81 m/s²

4 m/s.

How long does it take for them to reach each other?

a.

b. How far does the slower biker travel?

Answers

Answer:

A) 50 seconds

B) 200 m

Explanation:

They are 500 metres apart.

And one of the bike loves at 6 m/s while the other loves at 4 m/s.

A) Let distance of the 6 m/s bike before they meet be x.

Thus, time = x/6

Since time = distance/speed

For the second bike at 4 m/s, his distance covered before they meet will be 500 - x

Thus, time = (500 - x)/4

Now they will meet each other at the same time. Thus;

x/6 = (500 - x)/4

Cross multiply to get;

4x = 3000 - 6x

6x + 4x = 3000

10x = 3000

x = 3000/10

x = 300 m

Thus, time will be;

t = 300/6

t = 50 seconds

B) Distance covered by the slower bike is (500 - x)

Since from a above, x = 300

Thus; distance = 500 - 300 = 200 m

a body of mass 20kg initially at rest is subjected to a force of 40N for 1sec calculate the change in kinetic energy showing the solution​

Answers

Answer:

Change in KE is 40 J

Explanation:

Recall that the impulse exerted on an object equal the change of momentum of the object (ΔP), which in time is defined as the product of the force exerted on it times the time the force was acting:

Change in momentum is:   ΔP = F * Δt

In our case,

ΔP = 40 N * 1 sec = 40 N s

Since the object was initially at rest, its initial momentum was zero, and the final momentum should then be 40 N s.

So, the initial KE was 0, and the final (KEf) can be calculated using:

KEf = 1 /(2 m) Pf^2 = 1 / (40) 40^2 = 40 J

So, the change in kinetic energy is:

KEf - KEi = 40 J - 0 j = 40 J

As the capacitor is charged, energy is transferred to it from the battery. When the capacitor is fully charged, the energy stored in the capacitor is U1U1 . The energy stored in the capacitor when the stored charge is q₁/2 is

Solution:

A capacitor is an electrical device used to store electrical energy in an electric field. The energy stored in a capacitor is given by:

U = (1/2)QV; where U is the energy stored, Q is the charge and V is the voltage applied.

The energy stored in a fully charged capacitor with a charge q₁ and battery of voltage V is given as:

U₁ = (1/2)q₁V

If the stored charge is q₁/2, the energy stored (U₂) becomes:

U₂ = (1/2)(q₁ / 2)V

U₂ = (1/2)*  (1/2)q₁V

U₂ = (1/2)U₁

A tank initially holds 100 gallons of salt solution in which 50 lbs of salt has been dissolved. A pipe fills the tank with brine at the rate of 3 gpm, containing 2 lbs of dissolved salt per gallon. Assuming that the mixture is kept uniform by stirring, a drain pipe draws out of the tank the mixture at 2 gpm. Find the amount of salt in the tank at the end of 30 minutes.
A. 171.24 lbs
B. 124.11 lbs
C. 143.25 lbs
D. 105.12 lbs

Answers

Answer:

A. 171.24 Ibs

Explanation:

To find the amount of salt in the tank,

Let Q = Amount of salt in the mixture

And let 100 + (3-2)t = 100 + t be the volume of mixture at anytime t.

Rate of gain - Rate of loss = dQ / dt

Concentration of salt = Q / (100+t)

For the linear differential equation,

dQ / dt = 3(2) - 2 [Q/ (100 + t)]

dQ /dt + Q [2 / (100 + t)] = 6

The general solution of the linear differential equation is:

Q (i.f) = ∫ A(t) (i.f) dt + C

Therefore,

i.f = e ^ ∫ P(t) dt

And P(t) = 2 / (100 + t)

i.f = e ^ ∫ 2 / (100 + t)

  = e ^ 2㏑ (100 + t)

     = e ^ ㏑ (100 + t) ^2 = (100 + t) ^2

Q(100 + t) ^ 2 = ∫6 (100 + t) ^2 dt + C

 Q(100 + t) ^2 = 2(100 + t) ^ 3 + C

  When t = 0, Q = 50

Therefore,

50( 100) ^2 = 2(100) ^3 + C

 C = -1.5 * 10 ^6

therefore, when t = 30,

Q (100 + 30) ^2 = 2(100 + 30) ^3 - 1.5 * 10 ^6

 Q (400) ^2 = 2(130) ^3 - 1.5 * 10 ^6

    Q = 171.24 Ibs

The amount of salt in the tank at the end of 30 minutes is 171.24 lbs.

The given parameters:

Initial volume of the tank, i = 100 gallonsRate of gain of salt = 3 gpmRate of loss of salt = 2 gpm

The linear differential equation of the salt solution is calculated as follows;

[tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = Gain - loss[/tex]

where;

x is the salt concentration

The salt concentration at time t, is calculated as follows;

[tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = 2(3) - 2(\frac{X}{100 + t} )\\\\\frac{dx}{dt} = 6 - 2(\frac{X}{100 + t} )\\\\\frac{dx}{dt} +2(\frac{X}{100 + t} ) =6[/tex]

Apply the general solution of linear differential equation as follows;

[tex]X(f) = \int\limits {At} \, dt \ + C\\\\f = e^{\int\limits {At} \, dt}\\\\ f = e^{\int\limits {\frac{2}{100 + t} } \, dt}\\\\f = e^{2 ln(100 + t)}\\\\f = (100 + t)^2[/tex]

[tex]X(100 + t)^2 = \int\limits {6(100 + t)^2} \, dt \ + \ C\\\\ X(100 + t)^2 = 2(100 + t)^3 + C[/tex]

When t = 0 and X = 50

[tex]50(100 + 0)^2 = 2(100+ 0)^3 + C\\\\C = -1.5 \times 10^6[/tex]

When t = 30 min, the concentration is calculated as;

[tex]X (100 + 30)^2 = 2(100 + 30)^3- 1.5 \times 10^6\\\\X(130)^2 = 2(130)^3 - 1.5\times 10^6\\\\X(130)^2 = 2894000\\\\X = \frac{2894000}{130^2} \\\\X = 171.24 \ lbs[/tex]
