A Van de Graaff generator is one of the original particle accelerators and can be used to accelerate charged particles like protons or electrons. You may have seen it used to make human hair stand on end or to produce large sparks. One application of the Van de Graaff generator is to create X-rays by bombarding a hard metal target with the beam. Consider a 5.25mA current produced by the generator which is a beam of 1.95 keV protons. What is the speed, in meters per second, of the protons? O 4.26 x 10^5 m/s O 6.56 x 10^5 m/s O 1.54 x 10^2 m/s O 1.26 x 10^5 m/s

J.J Thomson studied the ionization of atoms in collisions with electrons. He accelerated electrons through a potential difference, shot them into a gas of atoms, then used a mass spectrometer to detect any ions produced in collisions. By using different gases, he found that he could produced singly ionized atoms of all the elements that he tried. When he used higher accelerating voltages, he was able to prodce doubly ionized atoms of all elements except hydrogen. a.why did thomson have to use higher accelerating voltages to detect doubly ionized atoms than to detect singly ionized atoms? b. What conclusion or conclusions about hydrogenatoms can you draw from these observations? Be specific as to how your conlusion are related to the observations.
The Cassini spacecraft that visited Saturn and its moons did more than take pretty pictures; it also returned physical data. Saturn’s moon Titan has a substantial atmosphere, and Cassini went close enough to detect atoms and molecules from Titan’s atmosphere. It measured the atmospheric composition with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Ionized atoms and molecules were accelerated through a 30 kV potential difference and then sent through a chamber of length 18.8 cm. The time to travel the length of the chamber was measured, with heavier particles taking longer times. What is the travel time for a singly ionized molecule of water?
Chapter 26, Problem 048 Flying Circus of Physics Exploding shoes. The rain-soaked shoes of a person may explode if ground current from nearby lightning vaporizes the water. The sudden conversion of water to water vapor causes a dramatic expansion that can rip apart shoes. Water has density 1000 kg/m3 and requires 2256 kJ/kg to be vaporized. If horizontal current lasts 2.33 ms and encounters water with resistivity 180 Q:m, length 12.9 cm, and vertical cross-sectional area 15.2 x 10-5 m2, what average current is required to vaporize the water?

as part of a lecture demonstration, a physics professor plans to hold an ununsulated current carrying wire in her hands. For safety sake, the potential differnece between her hands is to be no more that 1.50v. She holds her hands 1.20m apart, with the wire stretched tightly between them. The wire is to carry 6.00 A of current and is to be made of aluminum. What is the minimum wire radius that is consistent with safety? p for aluminimum = 2.75 x 10 -8 omega-m
