The Tevatron accelerator at Fermilab was able to accelerate protons or antiprotons to a maximum energy of 1.0TeV as they travelled around a 6.3km circumference ring.

a) How much time did it take a 1.0TeV proton to make one revolution around the ring?

b) What was the maximum energy available in a colliding-beam experiment with protons and antiprotons?

c) How much energy would protons need to have the same energy as you found in part (b) available in a fixed-target experiment?

An atom is made of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons concentrated in a nucleus, while negatively charged electrons orbit around them. If I want to make a Helium atom out of two Hydrogen atoms, I am going to have to have to get 2 Hydrogen atoms very close together so that they can form a new nucleus. This is a process called nuclear fusion, and it takes a lot of energy. a) If, in order for this to happen,...

Today Van de Graaff accelerators sometimes serve as “injectors” for other types of accelerators that then further increase the energy of the particles. Consider a Van de Graaff accelerator that is being used to accelerate protons. The high voltage terminal (metal sphere) of the Van de Graff is charged using a rubberized belt that is 30 cm wide and travels at a velocity of 20 m/s. Charge is sprayed onto the belt near the roller at the low voltage end...

In a photoelectric e↵ect experiment, the maximum kinetic energy of electrons ejected from a cesium metal plate is found to be 0.57eV when the plate is illuminated with 500 nm light. (a) Given what we know about the relation of wavelength and energy, how much energy does a single photon of 500 nm light have? (b) Given the results of this experiment, how much energy must the electron have used to break free of the atom? (c) When the same...

1. A woman expends 92 kJ of energy in walking a kilometer. The energy is supplied by the metabolic breakdown of food intake and has a 35 percent efficiency. a) If the woman drives a car over the same distance, how much energy is used if the car gets 8.0 km per liter of gasoline (approximately 20 mi/gal)? The density of gasoline is 0.71 g/mL, and its enthalpy of combustion is 49 kJ/g. b) Compare the efficiencies of the two...

Please do not attempt to solve if you can not answer all!!! THE ENERGY BAR INDUSTRY In 1986, PowerBar, a firm in Berkeley, California, single-handedly created the energy bar category. Positioned as an athletic energy food, it was distributed at bike shops and events that usually involved running or biking. The target segment was the athlete who needed an efficient, effective energy source. Six years later, seeking to provide an alternative to the sticky, dry nature of the PowerBar, a...
