Find the lengths of each of the following vectors

Physics

Answer:

Explanation:

The length of a vector refers to its magnitude.

For a vector

R = a•i + b•j + c•k

The magnitude can be calculated using

|R|= √(a²+b²+c²)

Applying this formula to each given vector yields the following results.

(a) 2i + 4j + 3k

The length is

L = √(2²+4²+3²)

L = √(4+16+9)

L = √29

L = 5.385 unit

(b) 5i − 2j + k

Note that k represents 1k

The length is

L = √(5²+(-2)²+1²)

Because, -×- = +

L = √(25+4+1)

L = √30

L = 5.477 unit

(c) 2i − k

As there is no j component, it means that the j component is 0

L = 2i + 0j - 1k

The length is

L = √(2²+0²+(-1)²)

L = √(4+0+1)

L = √5

L = 2.236 unit

(d) 5i

Similarly, without a j-component and k-component

L = 5i + 0j + 0k

The length is

L = √(5²+0²+0²)

L = √(25+0+0)

L = √25

L = 5 unit

(e) 3i − 2j − k

The length is

L = √(3²+(-2)²+(-1)²)

L = √(9+4+1)

L = √14

L = 3.742 unit

(f) i + j + k

The length is

L = √(1²+1²+1²)

L = √(1+1+1)

L = √3

L = 1.7321 unit

A 250 GeV beam of protons is fired over a distance of 1 km. If the initial size of the wave packet is 1 mm, find its final size
Maru [2337]

Answer:

The final size is nearly the same as the initial size because the increase in size1.055\times 10^{- 7} is remarkably small

Solution:

According to the problem:

The proton beam energy is E = 250 GeV =250\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{- 19} = 4\times 10^{- 8} J

Distance traveled by the photon, d = 1 km = 1000 m

Proton mass, m_{p} = 1.67\times 10^{- 27} kg

Initial size of the wave packet, \Delta t_{o} = 1 mm = 1\times 10^{- 3} m

Now,

This operates under relativistic principles

The rest mass energy for the proton is expressed as:

E = m_{p}c^{2}

E = 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (3\times 10^{8})^{2} = 1.503\times 10^{- 10} J

This proton energy is \simeq 250 GeV

Thus, the speed of the proton, v\simeq c

The time to cover 1 km = 1000 m of distance is calculated as:

T = \frac{1000}{v}

T = \frac{1000}{c} = \frac{1000}{3\times 10^{8}} = 3.34\times 10^{- 6} s

According to the dispersion factor;

\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{ht_{o}}{2\pi m_{p}\Delta t_{o}^{2}}

\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 3.34\times 10^{- 6}}{2\pi 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (10^{- 3})^{2} = 1.055\times 10^{- 7}

Thus, the widening of the wave packet is relatively minor.

Hence, we can conclude that:

\Delta t_{o} = \Delta t

where

\Delta t = final width

The δe of a system that releases 12.4 j of heat and does 4.2 j of work on the surroundings is __________ j.
Yuliya22 [2420]

For this issue, the answer is clarified as the system takes in energy (+). The surroundings contribute 84 KJ of work. Whenever a system is receiving work from its surroundings, the value will be positive. Therefore, it sums to 12.4 KJ + 4.2 = 16.6 KJ.
