Answer:

a) 2 x10^7 eV

b) 2 x10^4 keV

c) 20 MeV

d) 0.02 Gev

e) 3.2 x 10^-12J

Explanation:

The potential difference = 20 x 10^6 V

The charge on the proton = 1.6 x10^-19

The work done to move the proton will be basically the proton will acquire if it accelerates.

Kinetic energy gained = ΔVq = 20 x10^6 x 1.6 x 10^-19

                                                 =3.2 x 10^-12J or 2 x10^7 eV

2 x10^7 eV = 2 x10^4 keV = 20 MeV = 0.02 Gev

A metal spoon becomes hot after being left in a pan of boiling water. this is an example of _____. conduction reflection radiati
IRISSAK [1]
Two methods of transfer of heat are involved in this process: conduction and convection.

In fact, the metal spoon is heated by conduction because the molecules of the boiling water collide with the molecules of the spoon, releasing heat to it; and also by convection, because in the pot of boiling water masses of hot water goes upward and they give their heat to the spoon, then these masses become cooler and they go down, replaced by other masses of hot water.

Jade and her roommate Jari commute to work each morning, traveling west on I-10. One morning Jade left for work at 6:45 A.M., bu
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Jari

Explanation:

The question requires to know who is traveling faster. This is done by comparing the gradients. The steeper the slope (high gradient), the faster the speed and vice versa.

From Jari's line, the starting point is (0, 0) and another point is (6, 7)

The gradient being change in y to change in x

Change in y=7-0=7

Change in x=6-0=6

Slope is 7/6

For Jade, first point is (0, 10) then another point is (6, 16)

Change in y=16-10=6

Change in x=6-0=6

Slope is 6/6=1

Clearly, 7/6 is greater than 6/6 or 1 hence Jari is faster than Jade

Steam enters a counterflow heat exchanger operating at steady state at 0.07 MPa with a specific enthalpy of 2431.6 kJ/kg and exi
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Steam Mass rate, ms = 1.5 kg/min

= 1.5 kg/min × 1 min/60 sec

= 0.025 kg/s

Air Mass rate, ma = 100 kg/min

= 100 kg/min × 1 min/60 sec

= 1.67 kg/s

A.

Extracting the specific enthalpy and temperature values from property table of “Saturated water – Pressure table” which corresponds to temperature at 0.07 MPa.

xf, quality = 0.9.

Tsat = 89.9°C

hf = 376.57 kJ/kg

hfg = 2283.38 kJ/kg

Using the equation for specific enthalpy,

hi = hf + (hfg × xf)

= 376.57 + (2283.38 × 0.9)

= 2431.552 kJ/kg

The specific enthalpy of the outlet, h2 = hf

= 376.57 kJ/kg

B.

Rate of enthalpy (heat exchange), Q = mass rate, ms × change in specific enthalpy

= ms × (hi - h2)

= 0.025 × (2431.552 - 376.57)

= 0.025 × 2055.042

= 51.37455 kW

= 51.38 kW.
