B. i. 4.025 × 10¹⁵/s

D. i. 6.3 × 10⁻¹ J

ii. 1.4 × 10⁻² W

iii. 1.57 × 10³ Curie

E. 0.129 Ω

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Mass of tumor = 0.20 kg

Activity of Cobalt-60 = 2.60 × 10⁻⁴ Ci

Photon energy = 1.25 MeV

(i) The energy, E, delivered to the tumor is given by the relation;

[tex]E = \frac{1}{2}\left (Number \, of \, decay / seconds \right )\times \left (Energy \, of \, photon \right )[/tex]

[tex]E = \frac{1}{2}\left (2.6\times 10^{-4}Ci )\times \left (\frac{3.70\times 10^{10}decays/s}{1 Ci} \right )\times 1.25\times 10^{6}eV\times \frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}J}{1eV}[/tex]

E = 9.62 × 10⁻⁷ J/s

(ii) The equation for absorbed dose is given as follows;

Absorbed dose, D, in Grays Gy = (Energy Absorbed Joules J)/Mass kg

Therefore, absorbed dose = (9.62 × 10⁻⁷ J/s)/( kg) = 4.81 × 10⁻⁶ Gy

1 Gray = 100 rad

4.81 × 10⁻⁷ Gy = 100 × 4.81 × 10⁻⁶ = 4.81 × 10⁻⁴ rad/s

(iii) Equivalent dose, H, is  given by the relation;

H = D × Radiation factor, [tex]w_R[/tex]

∴ H = 0.7 × 4.81 × 10⁻⁴ rad/s = 3.37 × 10⁻⁴ Sv = 3.37 × 10⁻⁴ rem/s

(iv) The exposure time required for an equivalent dose of 200 rem is given as follows;

[tex]\dot{H} = \dfrac{H}{t}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]t= \dfrac{200}{{3.37 \times 10^{-4}} } = 593471.81 \, s[/tex]

∴ t = 6.9 days

B. The number of electrons ejected is given by the relation;

[tex]N = \frac{P}{E} = \frac{P \times \lambda}{hc}[/tex]

[tex]N = \dfrac{2.0 \times 10^{-3} \times 400 \times 10^{-9}}{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8} = 4.025 \times 10^{15}/s[/tex]

(ii) The power carried by the electron

The energy carried away by the electrons is given by the relation;

[tex]KE_e = hv - \Phi[/tex]

[tex]KE_e = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{400 \times 10^{-9}} - 2.31 \times \frac{1.6 \times 10 ^{-19} }{1}[/tex]

[tex]KE_e = 4.9695 \times 10^{-19} - 3.696 \times 10 ^{-19} = 1.2735 \times 10^{-19} J[/tex]

Power, P[tex]_e[/tex], carried away by the electron = 4.025 × 10¹⁵ × 1.2735 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 0.512 mW

C. The given parameters are;

d = 1.19 mm, ∴ r = 1.19/2 = 0.595 × 10⁻³ m

l = 50 mm = 5 × 10⁻³ m

V = 500 ml = 5 × 10⁻⁴ m³

η = 0.0027 Pa

p = 1,900 Pa.

[tex]\dfrac{V}{t} = \dfrac{\pi }{8} \times \dfrac{P/l}{\eta } \times r^4[/tex]

[tex]t = \dfrac{8\times \eta\times V\times l }{\pi \times P \times r^4}[/tex]

[tex]t = \dfrac{8\times 0.0027 \times 5 \times 10^{-4} \times 5 \times 10^{-2} }{\pi \times 1900 \times (0.595 \times 10^{-4} )^4}[/tex]

t = 7218092.2 seconds

D) i. Energy absorbed is given by the relation;

E = m×D

Where:

D = 35 Gray = 35 J/kg

m = 18 g = 18 × 10⁻³ kg

∴ E = 35 × 18 × 10⁻³ = 6.3 × 10⁻¹ J

ii. Total time for treatment = 15 × 5 = 75 minutes

Energy absorbed = 6.3 × 10⁻¹ × 100 = 63 J

Power = Energy(in Joules)/Time (in seconds)

∴ Power = 63/(75×60) = 1.4 × 10⁻² W

iii. Whereby the power is provided by 0.5% of the photons emitted by the source, we have;

[tex]P_{source}= \frac{P_{beam}}{0.005} =\frac{0.0014}{0.005} =0.28 \, W[/tex]

1 MeV = 1.60218 × 10⁻¹³ J

0.03 MeV = 0.03 × 1.60218 × 10⁻¹³ J = 4.80654 × 10⁻¹⁵ J/photon

Therefore, the number of disintegration per second = 0.28 J/s ÷  4.80654 × 10⁻¹⁵ J/photon = 5.83 × 10¹³ disintegrations per second

1 Curie = 3.7 × 10¹⁰  disintegrations per second

Hence, 5.83 × 10¹³ disintegrations per second = (5.83 × 10¹³)/(3.7 × 10¹⁰) Curie

= 1.57 × 10³ Curie

E. The parameters given are;

Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Volume of water = 250 ml = 0.00025 m³

Initial temperature, T₁, = 25°C

Final temperature, T₂, = 100°C

Change in temperature, ΔT = 100 - 25 = 75°

Specific heat capacity of the water = 4200 J/kg/°C

Mass of water = Density × Volume = 1000 × 0.00025 = 0.25 kg

∴ Heat supplied = 4200 × 0.25 × 75 = 78,750 J

Time to heat the water = 45.0 sec

Therefore, power = Energy/time = 78750/45 = 1750 W

The formula for electrical power = I²R =VI = V²/R

Therefore, where V = 15.0 V, we have;

15²/R = 1750

R = 15²/1750 = 0.129 Ω.

The resistance of the heater = 0.129 Ω.

53. When you turn on your CD player, the turntable accelerates from zero to 41.8 rad/s in
3.0 s. What is the angular acceleration?
or​

Answers

Answer:

The angular acceleration of CD player is [tex]13.93\ rad/s^2[/tex].

Explanation:

Initial angular speed of a CD player is 0 and final angular speed is 41.8 rad/s. Time to change the angular speed is 3 s.

It is required to find the angular acceleration. The change in angular speed of the CD player divided by time taken is called its angular acceleration. It can be given by :

[tex]a=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{41.8-0}{3}\\\\a=13.94\ rad/s^2[/tex]

So, the angular acceleration of CD player is [tex]13.93\ rad/s^2[/tex].

The instantaneous speed of a particle moving along one straight line is v(t) = ate−6t, where the speed v is measured in meters per second, the time t is measured in seconds, and the magnitude of the constant a is measured in meters per second squared. What is its maximum speed, expressed as a multiple of a? (Do not include units in your answer.)

Answers

Answer:

v_max = (1/6)e^-1 a

Explanation:

You have the following equation for the instantaneous speed of a particle:

[tex]v(t)=ate^{-6t}[/tex]   (1)

To find the expression for the maximum speed in terms of the acceleration "a", you first derivative v(t) respect to time t:

[tex]\frac{dv(t)}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[ate^{-6t}]=a[(1)e^{-6t}+t(e^{-6t}(-6))][/tex]  (2)

where you have use the derivative of a product.

Next, you equal the expression (2) to zero in order to calculate t:

[tex]a[(1)e^{-6t}-6te^{-6t}]=0\\\\1-6t=0\\\\t=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

For t = 1/6 you obtain the maximum speed.

Then, you replace that value of t in the expression (1):

[tex]v_{max}=a(\frac{1}{6})e^{-6(\frac{1}{6})}=\frac{e^{-1}}{6}a[/tex]

hence, the maximum speed is v_max = ((1/6)e^-1)a
