Question:

A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is 0.50 µA.

(a) How many protons strike the target in 15 s?

(b) Each proton has a kinetic energy of 4.9 × 10-12 J. Suppose the target is a 15-gram block of aluminum, and all the kinetic energy of the protons goes into heating it up. What is the change in temperature of the block that results from the 15-s bombardment of protons?
