Chapter , Problem 111

(choose chapter or problem)

You are running an experiment that uses an accelerator that produces a proton beam. Each proton in the beam has of kinetic energy. The protons impinge on, and come to rest inside, a copper target within a vacuum chamber. You are concerned that the target will get too hot and melt the solder on some connecting wires that are crucial to the experiment. (a) Determine the number of protons that strike the target per second. (b) Find the amount of energy delivered to the target each second. (c) Determine how much time elapses before the target temperature increases to (Neglect any heat released by the target.)
