Answer to Problem 1RQ

The energy loss rate is proportional to the mass of the ion.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for the energy loss rate.

  ΔKαmq22K        (I)

Here, ΔK is the energy loss rate, m is the mass of the ion, q is the charge of the ion and K is the kinetic energy of the ion.

Since the energy loss rate is directly proportional to the mass and charge of the ion then it is inversely proportional to the given kinetic energy of the ion. The negative sign in equation (I) indicates the losing of kinetic energy in the ion.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the energy loss rate is proportional to the mass of the ion.

A high-speed lifting mechanism supports an 881 kg object with a steel cable that is 22.0 m long and 4.00 cm^2 in cross-sectional area.  Young's modulus for steel is 20.0 ⋅10^10 Pa.  Determine the elongation of the cable.
Namor, from Wakanda Forever, sits on a throne at the bottom of the ocean in a city called Talocan (and Atlantis in the comics).  Assuming he, including his gold headdress, has a density of 1085 kg/m3 and that Namor is surrounded by salt water with a density of 1027 kg/m3, what is Namor’s normal force while sitting underwater?  Take Namor’s mass as 285. kg and solve as if he has a uniform density.
To get there they need to travel through an area of salt-water, which seems to also be a magical portal, before arriving in a dry area.  Judging by the time Maui and Moana spend falling through the water, it seems they dive 3440. ft deep.  Assume the portal is non-magical salt-water, with a density of 1027 kg/m^3. Given that the air pressure above the portal is 1.013 ⋅10^5 Pa, what is the pressure when they are 3440. ft deep?  1 m = 3.28 ft. Moana would have a surface area of 1.30 m2. How much force would be acting on her at the bottom of this portal?
