Chapter 8, Problem 19P
Using values from Table 8.1, how many DNA molecules could be broken by the energy carried by a single electron in the beam of an old-fashioned TV tube? (These electrons were not dangerous in themselves, but they did create dangerous X-rays. Later-model tube TVs had shielding that absorbed X-rays before they escaped and exposed viewers.)

Not from book (1): Magnetar. On December 27, 2004, astronomers observed the greatest flash of light ever recorded from outside the solar system. It came from the highly magnetic neutron star SGR 1806-20 (a magnetar). During 0.20 s, this star released as much energy as our sun does in 250,000 years. If P is the average power output of our sun, what was the average power output (in terms of P) of this magnetar?

- This problem gives some idea of the magnitude of the energy yield of a small tactical bomb.

A wind tunnel test on an 89 gg starling showed that the bird used 12 WW of metabolic power to fly at 11 m/sm/s.

- Problem A moving electron has a Kinetic Energy Kq. After a net amount of work is done on it, the electron is moving one-quarter as fast in the opposite direction. What is the work done Win terms of Kq? Solution To solve for the work done, first we must determine what is the final kinetic energy of the electron. By concept, we know that K1=(1/2)mv21 K2=(1/2)mv2 But it was mentioned that: v2=( so, K2 in terms of vq is K2=( )mv²1 Substituting the expression for K1 results to K2=( K1 Since work done is W=AK=K -K Evaluating results to W=( K1arrow_forwardProblem A moving electron has a Kinetic Energy K1.
