Answer

Pure tungsten:$\phi=4.5\text{eV}$
$\text{A}=60\times10^{4}\text{A/m}^2-\text{k}^2$
$\text{i}=\text{AST}^2\text{e}^{\frac{\phi}{\text{KT}}}$
Thoriated tungsten:$\phi=2.6\text{eV}$
$\text{A}=3\times10^{4}\text{A/m}^2-\text{k}^2$
$\text{i}_{\text{Thoriated Tungsten}}=5000\text{i}_{\text{Tungsten}}$
So, $5000\times\text{S}\times60\times10^{4}\times\text{T}_2\times\text{e}^{\frac{-4.5\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{1.38\times\text{t}\times10^{-23}}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{S}\times3\times10^{4}\times\text{T}^2\times\text{e}^{\frac{-2.56\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{1.38\times\text{T}\times10^{-23}}}$
$\Rightarrow3\times10^{8}\times\text{e}^{\frac{-4.5\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{1.38\times\text{t}\times10^{-23}}}=\text{e}^{\frac{-2.56\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{1.38\times\text{T}\times10^{-23}}}\times3\times10^4$
Taking 'in'$\Rightarrow9.21\text{T}=220.29$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{22029}{9.21}=2391.856\text{K}$

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy associated with the object which is under motion. It is defined as "the energy required by a body to accelerate from rest to stated velocity." It is a vector quantity and the momentum of an object is the virtue of its mass. It is defined as the product of mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity. The relation between them is given by $E =\frac{P^2}{2 m}$. In case of the elastic collision both of these quantities remain constant.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. First Law of Thermodynamics The first law of thermodynamics is the general law of conservation of energy applied to any system in which energy transfer from or to the surroundings (through heat and work) is taken into account. It states that the energy supplied to the system goes in partly to increase the internal energy of the system and the rest in work on the environment. Mathematically, $\triangle\text{Q}=\triangle\text{U}+\triangle\text{W}$ where $\triangle\text{Q}$ is the heat supplied to the system, $\triangle\text{W}$ is the work done by the system and $\triangle\text{U}$ is the change in internal energy of the system. $\triangle\text{Q}$ and $\triangle\text{W}$ depend on the path taken to go from initial to final states, but the combination $\triangle\text{Q}​​-​​\triangle\text{W}$ is path independent.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from $i$ to $v.$ we consider the motion of a projectile. An object that is in flight after being thrown or projected is called a projectile. Such a projectile might be a football, a cricket ball, a baseball or any other object. The motion of a projectile may be thought of as the result of two separate, simultaneously occurring components of motions. One component is along a horizontal direction without any acceleration and the other along the vertical direction with constant acceleration due to the force of gravity. It was Galileo who first stated this independency of the horizontal and the vertical components of projectile motion in his Dialogue on the great world systems. Horizontal range of a projectile: The horizontal distance travelled by a projectile from its initial position $(x = y = 0)$ to the position where it passes $y = 0$ during its fall is called the horizontal range, $R$. It is the distance travelled during the time of flight $T_f .$ Therefore, the range $\text{R is R} =(\text{v}_o\cos\theta_o(\text{T}_\text{f})$
$\text{R}=\frac{(\text{v}_\text{o}\cos\theta_\text{o})(2\text{v}_\text{o}\sin\theta_\text{o})}{\text{g}}$
$\text{R}=\frac{(\text{v}_\text{o}^{2}\sin\theta_\text{o})}{g}$ This shows that for a given projection velocity, $R$ is maximum when $2\theta_\text{o}$ is maximum, i.e., when $\theta_\text{o}=45^\circ.$ The maximum horizontal range is, therefore $\text{R}=\frac{\text{v}_\text{o}^2}{g}$ Maximum height of a projectile: Maximum height that can be achieved during projectile and it is given by: $\text{H}_\text{m}=\frac{\text{(v}_\text{o}\sin\theta)^2}{2g}$
  1. Range in projectile motion is maximum when $\theta^\circ:$
  1. $45^0$
  2. $0^0$
  3. $90^0$
