In this problem, we will try to understand why chemical reactions cannot power the Sun, but nuclear reactions can. The energy scale of chemical reactions is a few eV, where eV is a unit of energy called an electron volt. 1 eV = 1.602 x 10-19 J. A typical chemical reaction involves an energy change of ~0.1 to 10 eV. In contrast, a nuclear reaction typically involves a change in energy of order a few MeV (mega electron volts; a factor of a million larger). Suppose that the Sun has a constant luminosity throughout its life, equal to its current luminosity of L⊙=3.827×1026J/s . Suppose also that the Sun is made entirely of hydrogen (or just protons, since the mass of the electron is about 2000 times smaller and is negligible in comparison). If every pair of two protons in the Sun undergo a one-time chemical reaction that nets ~1 eV of energy, how long would it take (in years) to expend all the available chemical energy?
In an x-ray tube, high-speed electrons are slammed into a lead target, giving off x-rays.

A cyclotron is a machine that can be used to accelerate charged particles to achieve large kinetic energies. The resulting beams of highly energetic particles then can be used for many medical applications, including Proton Therapy (a more precise form of "radiation" used in the treatment of some cancers). A description of the cyclotron can be found in section 19.3 of the text. If a proton (of mass 1.673x10-27kg) is accelerated to its maximum velocity inside a dee with radius 2.08cm (this is the radius you would use for the "r" term in the centripetal acceleration), and if the magnetic field has a magnitude of 2.44x10-2T, what is the resulting velocity of the proton in units of km/s (kilometer per second)?
