The theodolite is a precision measuring device used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It works with a combination of: (1) optical plummets, which is used to ensure that it is placed exactly vertical above; (2) internal spirit, which ensures that it is levelled to the horizon; and (3) graduated circles, one vertical and one horizontal, which is used to measure actual angles. The mounted telescope can swivel horizontally and vertically. If this is adjusted correctly, accurate measurements can be obtained.
Answer:
Velocity of a proton,
Explanation:
It is given that,
Potential difference,
Let v is the velocity of a proton that has been accelerated by a potential difference of 15 kV.
Using the conservation of energy as :
q is the charge of proton
m is the mass of proton
or
So, the velocity of a proton is . Hence, this is the required solution.

First example: book, m= 0.75 kg, h=1.5 m, g= 9.8 m/s², it has only potential energy Ep,
Ep=m*g*h=0.75*9.8*1.5=11.025 J
Second example: brick, m=2.5 kg, v=10 m/s, h=4 m, it has potential energy Ep and kinetic energy Ek,
E=Ep+Ek=m*g*h + (1/2)*m*v²=98 J + 125 J= 223 J
Third example: ball, m=0.25 kg, v= 10 m/s, it has only kinetic energy Ek
Ek=(1/2)*m*v²=12.5 J.
Fourth example: stone, m=0.7 kg, h=7 m, it has only potential energy Ep,
Ep=m*g*h=0.7*9.8*7=48.02 J
The order of examples starting with the lowest energy:
1. book, 2. ball, 3. stone, 4. brick
