The rate at which energy is emitted from an accelerating charge that has charge q and acceleration a is given by dE/dt= q^2 a^2/ 6πεc^3, where c is the speed of light. Required:
a. If a proton with a kinetic energy of 5.0 MeV is travelling in a particle accelerator in a circular orbit with a radius of 0.540 m, what fraction of its energy does it radiate per second?
b. Consider an electron orbiting with the same speed and radius. What fraction of its energy does it radiate per second?

Select the correct answer. what does the process of natural selection involve?

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?

You are the coordinator for a program that is going to take place at night in a rectangular amphitheater in the mountains. you will have no access to any electricity, but you must be able to illuminate the entire grounds. you know the intensity of the light from a lantern varies inversely as the square of the distance from the lantern. suppose the intensity is 90 when the distance is 5 m. a. write an equation to model the situation. b. solve for the constant of variation. c. write the equation to model the situation using the constant () of variation. d. you have been given lanterns with 40 light intensity. use your equation to solve for the distance from the lantern. e. you need to illuminate 225 km. how many meters do you need to light? f. how many lanterns will you need?
