Explanation:

I got everything but i. Don't know why but it's eluding me. So let's do everything but that.

a. PE = mgh so

PE = (2.5)(98)(14) and

PE = 340 J

b. $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ so

$KE=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)(14)^2$ and

KE = 250 J

c. TE = KE + PE so

TE = 340 + 250 and

TE = 590 J

d. PE at 8.7 m:

PE = (2.5)(9.8)(8.7) and

PE = 210 J

e. The KE at the same height:

TE = KE + PE and

590 = KE + 210 so

KE = 380 J

f. The velocity at that height:

$380=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)v^2$ and

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(380)}{2.5} }$ so

v = 17 m/s

g. The velocity at a height of 11.6 m (these get a bit more involed as we move forward!). First we need to find the PE at that height and then use it in the TE equation to solve for KE, then use the value for KE in the KE equation to solve for velocity:

590 = KE + PE and

PE = (2.5)(9.8)(11.6) so

PE = 280 then

590 = KE + 280 so

KE = 310 then

$310=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)v^2$ and

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(310)}{2.5} }$ so

v = 16 m/s

h. This one is a one-dimensional problem not using the TE. This one uses parabolic motion equations. We know that the initial velocity of this object was 0 since it started from the launcher. That allows us to find the time at which the object was at a velocity of 26 m/s. Let's do that first:

v=v_0+at and

26 = 0 + 9.8t and

26 = 9.8t so the time at 26 m/s is

t = 2.7 seconds. Now we use that in the equation for displacement:

Δx = $v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ and filling in the time the object was at 26 m/s:

Δx = 0t + $\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)2.7)^2$ so

Δx = 36 m

i. ??? In order to find the velocity at which the object hits the ground we would need to know the initial height so we could find the time it takes to hit the ground, and then from there, sub all that in to find final velocity. In my estimations, we have 2 unknowns and I can't seem to see my way around that connundrum.

Acyclotron is used to produce a beam of high-energy deuterons that then collide with a target to produce radioactive isotopes for a medical procedure. deuterons are nuclei of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, consisting of one neutron and one proton, with total mass 3.34×10−27kg. the deuterons exit the cyclotron with a kinetic energy of 6.40 mev .a-what is the speed of the deuterons when they exit? b-if the magnetic field inside the cyclotron is 1.25 t, what is the diameter of the deuterons' largest orbit, just before they exit? c-if the beam current is 350 μa how many deuterons strike the target each second?
