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.

A woman accidentally drops a flowerpot from a windowsill at a height d above the street towards a man of height h standing below. The woman calls out to the man in just enough time for the man to move out of the way. If the man needs a time interval of Δt to respond to the warning, at what height above the street will the flowerpot be when the woman calls out the warning? (Use the following as necessary: d, h, Δt, v for the speed of sound, and g for gravitational acceleration.)

Answers

Answer:

h^2 - ( 2t_o v_s + 2v_s^2 /g) h + v_s^2  \  t_o^2 =0

The correct result is that of a positive height

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the kinematic relations, let's start by finding the time it takes for the sound to reach the man

             v_s = y / t

             t = [tex]\frac{y}{ v_s}[/tex]

this height is y = h

             t =  \frac{h}{ v_s}

the man has a response time of t = t₀, therefore

time to move is

             t' =  t - t₀

             

the initial height of flower pot is

           y = y₀ + v₀ t' - ½ g  t'²

when it reaches the floor the height is zero y = 0 and as the pot is dropped its initial velocity is zero v₀ = 0

            0 = y₀ +0 - ½ g (t -t₀)²

if the initial height is i = h,

             

            h = ½ g ([tex]\frac{h}{v_s}[/tex] - t₀)²2

            [tex]\frac{2}{g} h[/tex] = [tex]\frac{h^2}{v_s^2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{2t_o }{v_s} h[/tex] + t₀²

            [tex]\frac{h^2}{v_s^2} - ( \frac{2t_o}{v_s} + \frac{2}{g} ) h + t_o^2 = 0[/tex]h2 / vs2 - (2nd / vs + 2 / g) h + to2 - = 0

            [tex]h^2 - ( 2t_o v_s + 2v_s^2 /g) h + v_s^2 \ t_o^2 =0[/tex]

 

To know the height, you must solve the second degree equation, it is much easier with numerical values.

             The correct result is that of a positive height

. You have two carts, one which is empty and has mass m. The second cart is of the same mass but loaded with twice the mass of the empty cart i.e. it has mass 3m. You push each of them (one at a time) with the same constant force, over the same distance, starting from rest. After you have pushed them through this distance, you remove the force. How will the kinetic energy of the loaded and empty carts compare to each other

Answers

Answer:

Their kinetic energies would be the same

Explanation:

This is because, since the force, F acting on them moves the same distance, d, the work done by the force is W = Fd.

Now, from work-kinetic energy principles,

W = ΔK where ΔK = change in kinetic energy of the carts.

Since the work-done is the same for both carts, their change in kinetic energies would also be the same.

Since they start from rest, ΔK = K' - K =  K' - 0 = K'

So, the kinetic energies of the carts would be the same

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 .

Problem 4.13: Sound waves travel through air at a speed of 330 m/s. A whistle blast at a frequency of about 1.0 kHz lasts for 2.0 s. (a) Over what distance in space does the "wave train" representing the sound extend? (b) What is the wavelength of the sound? (c) Estimate the precision with which an observer could measure the wavelength. (d) Estimate the precision with which an observer could measure the frequency.

Answers

Answer:

a)  x = 660 m, b)  λ = 0.330 m, c) Δλ = 0.1 cm, d)    Δf = 104

Explanation:

a) the distance in which the train of waves extends can be obtained from the uniform movement

             v = x / t

             x = v t

             x = 330 2

             x = 660 m

b) the speed of sound is related to the wavelength and frequency

             v = λ f

              λ = v / f

              λ = 330/1000

              λ = 0.330 m

c) The precision in the measurement of the wavelength refers to the error or uncertainty in the measurement, if the measurement is direct with a tape measure the precision is the appreciation of the tape measure, in general it is 0.1 cm

d) the accuracy of the frequency in general the frequency is calculated from the measurements of period T

                f = 1 / T

The precision of the period is data by the chronometer used, in general time a press of 0.01s, by the response time of the people

               Δf = df / dT    ΔT

               Δf = 1 / T² ΔT

                Δf = 1 / (0.001)² 0.01

                 Δf = 104

As we can see, a much more precise system is needed to reduce the error

2. Electrons: subatomic particles with a negative charge. Electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

3. Neutrons: subatomic particles with no charge. The negative charge of the electrons cancels the positive charge of the protons.

4. Molecules: they are made of atoms.

Generally, molecules attach on the inside of a mineral to give it shape. Therefore, the molecule of a mineral is a crystal three-dimensional regular structure (arrangement) of chemical particles that are bonded together and determines its shape.

Due to the fact that these molecules are structurally arranged or ordered and are repeated by different symmetrical and translational operations they determine the shape of minerals.

What are the two possible speeds and directions that the moving train can have?

Actual answers :3.85 m/s away from the station and 3.77 m/s towards the station from the book. I just need to know how to get to the answers.

Answers

Answer:

-3.77 m/s

3.85 m/s

Explanation:

given that

Frequency at stationary = 180 Hz

Beat frequency = 2 Hz

Using Doppler effect, we know that

f' = f[(v ± v0) / (v ± vs)], where

v = speed of sound, 343 m/s

v0 = speed of the observer, 0

vs = speed of light, ?

f = stationary frequency, 180 Hz

f' = stationary ± beat frequency, 180 ± 2

Applying the formula, we have

f' = f[(v ± v0) / (v ± vs)]

182 = 180 [(343 + 0) / (343 + vs)]

182/180 = 343 / 343 + vs

343 + vs = 343 * 180/182

343 + vs = 339.23

vs = 339.23 - 343

vs = -3.77 m/s

Again, using

f' = f[(v ± v0) / (v ± vs)]

178 = 180 [(343 + 0) / (343 + vs)]

178/180 = 343 / 343 + vs

343 + vs = 343 * 180/178

343+ vs = 346.85

vs = 346.85 - 343

vs = 3.85 m/s

An ordinary ruler is used to measure the area and its error of a rectangle. It is found that their sides are 5.0 cm long and 2.0 cm width. The error in area (in cm) is​

Answers

Answer:

You need to know the accuracy to which you can read the ruler:

Suppose that you can read the read the ruler to the nearest milimeter

A = L * W     your calculated area of the rectangle

A + ΔA = (L + ΔL) * (W + ΔW) = L W + L ΔW + W * ΔL + ΔL ΔA

Or ΔA =  L ΔW + W ΔL

Where we have subtracted A = L * W and the term ΔL * ΔA is very small

So (5 + .1) * (2 + .1) - 5 * 2 = .1 * 2 + .1 * 5 = .7 cm^2

Then you report A = 10 cm^2 +- .7 cm^2    including the - sign for completeness

A crate rests on a flatbed truck which is initially traveling at 17.9 m/s on a level road. The driver applies the brakes and the truck is brought to a halt in a distance of 46.1 m. If the deceleration of the truck is constant, what is the minimum coefficient of friction between the crate and the truck that is required to keep the crate from sliding

Answers

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.  

Explanation:

The minimum coefficient of friction required to keep the crate from sliding can be found as follows:

[tex] -F_{f} + F = 0 [/tex]      

[tex] -F_{f} + ma = 0 [/tex]      

[tex] \mu mg = ma [/tex]

[tex] \mu = \frac{a}{g} [/tex]

Where:

μ: is the coefficient of friction

m: is the mass of the crate

g: is the gravity

a: is the acceleration of the truck

The acceleration of the truck can be found by using the following equation:

[tex] v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad [/tex]

[tex] a = \frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2d} [/tex]

Where:  

d: is the distance traveled = 46.1 m

[tex] v_{f}[/tex]: is the final speed of the truck = 0 (it stops)      

[tex]v_{0}[/tex]: is the initial speed of the truck = 17.9 m/s

[tex] a = \frac{-(17.9 m/s)^{2}}{2*46.1 m} = -3.48 m/s^{2} [/tex]        

If we take the reference system on the crate, the force will be positive since the crate will feel the movement in the positive direction.  

[tex] \mu = \frac{a}{g} [/tex]  

[tex] \mu = \frac{3.48 m/s^{2}}{9.81 m/s^{2}} [/tex]

[tex] \mu = 0.35 [/tex]

Therefore, the minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.

A 14.0-g wad of sticky clay is hurled horizontally at a 90-g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. The clay sticks to the block. After impact, the block slides 7.50 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient of friction between block and surface is 0.650, what was the speed of the clay immediately before impact

Answers

Answer:the speed of the clay immediately before impact =72.58m/s

Explanation:

Given that  

mass of the stick clay, M₁= 14.0 g = 0.014 kg

mass of the block ,M₂= 90 g = 0.09 kg

Therefore the total mass= (M₁+M₂) = 104g = 0.104 kg

Also, distance, s = 7.50 m

coefficient of friction μ= 0.650

Acceleration due to gravity ,g = 9.8 m/s²

 

Using the Work- Energy theorem,

change in kinetic energy =  work done

final kinetic energy(K₂) - initial  kinetic energy(K₁) =   force, F x coefficient of friction, μ x distance,s

The final kinetic energy is zero  because after the impact,  the block with the clay comes to a stop after 7.50m

kinetic energy =Work done

0.5 x m x v²=coefficient of friction,  μ x force(F)  x  distance,s(Since force = m g )

0.5 x m x v²= μ x m x g x s

0.5 x 0.104 x v² = 0.650 x 0.104x 9.8 x 7.5

v²= 0.650 x 0.104x 9.8 x 7.5 / 0.5 x 0.104

v²==95.55

V = 9.77 m/s

Using the  conservation of momentum formulae where

M₁ V₁ + M₂ V₂ = (M₁ + M₂ ) V

Since V₂  which is the velocity of block  is zero as the  block is initially at rest, We now have that

M₁ V₁ = (M₁ + M₂ ) V

0.014 kg x V₁ = 0.104 x 9.77

V₁=0.104 x 9.77 / 0.014

V=72.58m/s
