The expression above was obtained from the interaction of a massless Higg s Boson (a type of particle) and a black hole. Quantum physicists then decides to design and build a machine that is able to move the Higgs Boson from x2 to x1. How much work should the machine do to achieve this feat? (For simplicity, consider that no energy is lost in the process) Solution To determine the work done we apply the following W = Fx dx Evaluating the above, we get W = aln | x beta e X 3/5 5 for the limits from x¡ to xf substituting x1 and x2 as the limits, the work done is expressed as W = | + X1 e ( x15 x2 ) x2 MacBook Pro
Write the detailed solution. Please make sure that your handwritten is readable. Thank you. An older-model car accelerates from 0 to speed v in 15 s. A newer, more powerful sports car of the same mass accelerates from 0 to 3 v in the same time period. Assuming the energy coming from the engine appears only as kinetic energy of the cars, compare the power of the two cars.
An electron is fired at a speed v 4.3 x 10 m/s and at an angle 8 = 39.7 between two parallel conducting plates as shown in the figure. If s 1.7 mm and the voltage difference between the plates is AV= 99.8 V, determine how close, w. the electron will get to the bottom plate. Put your answer in meters and include at 6 decimal places in your answer. Do not include units. The x-axis of the coordinate system is in the middle of the parallel plate capacitor. Round your answer to 6 decimal places.
