A proton circulates in a cyclotron, beginning approximately at rest at the center. Whenever it passes through the gap between dees, the electric potential difference between the dees is 200 V. (a) By how much does its kinetic energy increase with each passage through the gap? (b) What is its kinetic energy as it completes 100 passes through the gap? Let r100 be the radius of the proton's circular path as it completes those 100 passes and enters a dee. and let r101 be its next radius, as it enters a dee the next time.(c) By what percentage does the radius increase when it changes from r100 to r101? That is, what is
percentage increase = 100%?

- Answer the assignment 1 question and show step-by-step solution. This is from Chapter 5 from the book, "The Essential Cosmic Perspective" 8th edition by Bennett, Donahue, Schneider, Voit. I provided some helpful notes to help with the solution.arrow_forwardA rocket is launched straight up with constant acceleration. Four seconds after liftoff, a bolt falls off the side of the rocket. The bolt hits the ground 6.0 s later. What was the rocket's acceleration?arrow_forwardA roof tile falls from rest from the top of a building. An observer inside the building notices that it takes 0.25 s for the tile to pass her window, which has a height of 1.7 m. How far above the top of this window is the roof?arrow_forward
- A car starts from rest at a stop sign. It accelerates at 2.0 [m/s/s] for 6.0 [s], casts from 2.0 [s], and then slows at a rate of 1.5 [m/s/s] for the next stop sign. How far apart are the stop signs?arrow_forwardA train has a length of 92 m and starts from rest with a constant acceleration at time t = 0 s. At this instant, a car just reaches the end of the train. The car is moving with a constant velocity. At a time t = 14 s, the car just reaches the front of the train. Ultimately, however, the train pulls ahead of the car, and at time t = 28s, the car is again at the rear of the train. Find the magnitudes of (a) the car's velocity and (b) the train's acceleration.arrow_forwardA spaceship is travelling in a straight line. The x-component of the acceleration of the spaceship at time t is known to be a(t) = 12t³ – 2 with the acceleration a measured in m/s² and t measured in seconds. a. Find the x-component of the velocity v(t) of this spaceship up to an integration constant. vx(t) b. What is the change in x-component of the velocity of the spaceship between t₂ = 3 and tƒ 6? = m/s AVx = c. It is also known that the x-component of the velocity of the spaceship at t = 6s is -6 m/s. Find the velocity at t = 0. vx(0) = m/sarrow_forward
- A robot is moving along the x-axis. For the time interval t = [0s, 3 s], the x-component of its position as a function of time measured with respect to the origin is given by the following polynomial function: x(t) = 0.2t4 – 3t – 5 a. If the x-component of position, x, is measured in meters, what units should the three numerical constants in the expression above have? Express your answers in m for meters and s for seconds as needed. Units of 0.2: Units of -3: Units of -5: b. What is the x-component of the robot's velocity at time t Vx m/s = 0? c. What is ax, the x-component of the robot's acceleration at time t = 3 s? ах m/s² d. What is xs, the robot's position at the instant when it is momentarily at rest? =arrow_forwardPeter is training for a race. He first sprints 40 m north. He then walks due south three-quarters of the way back to his starting position. In the following, take north to be the +x direction. Displacement What is Peter's displacement during the sprint? Distance Through what distance does Peter travel during the sprint? dsprint m Ax sprint m What is Peter's displacement during the walk?
