In a linear particle accelerator electrons are accelerated from rest to a speed of approximately the speed of light (3 x 108 m/s). If point A is the initial position of the electrons in the machine and point B is the position at which they reach their final speed, what is the electrical potential difference VA - VB in MV?
Why electric cars (which are amazing) still stink at towing and going up mountains. A family in Charlotte wants to drive to a campsite next to Mt. Mitchell. Their trip will take them 2km up in elevation. They have the choice of taking their top-of-the-Iline Tesla model S P100D, which when fully charged has 100 kWh of stored energy in the batteries (and for this problem is 100% efficient at converting its stored energy into kinetic energy) and a mass of 2200kg, or their choice of taking their 2021 Ford F-150. Gasoline has an energy density of 34.2 Megajoules per liter. The family owns the smallest 2021 Ford F-150, and so it has a fuel tank of 23 gallons. Assume the F-150's engine is able to convert 30% of the energy stored in its gasoline tank into kinetic energy (typical efficiency for gasoline engines), with the rest of the stored energy in the gasoline lost to heat. The mass of this model F-150 is about 2000kg. They are going to tow their big pop-up trailer to the campsite. For this…

#87: The flash unit in a camera uses a special circuit to “step up” the 3.0 V from the batteries to 300 V, which charges a capacitor. The capacitor is then discharged through a flashlamp. The discharge takes 10 ms, and the average power dissipated in the flashlamp is 105 W. What is the capacitance of the capacitor?
