Question

Kinetic Energy in Joules The U.S.S. Harry S. Truman is a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier and has a mass of 77.4 times 106kg. Full-speed is 6 knots, which is about 3 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the ship in Mega-Joules (MJ)? LHC Beam Energy Determine the energy of the entire LHC beam in Joules. As shown in lecture, every proton in the LHC beam has a kinetic energy of 1.1 times 10-6 J. There are 2800 bunches in the LHC beam and each bunch contains 1011 protons. What is the energy in Mega-Joules (MJ) of the entire LHC proton beam? The LHC beam and the aircraft carrier!

Explanation / Answer

a) 350 b) 308 c)Option b .. about the same energy
