Answer

How about a thunder storm. I don't know if you live in a city or out in the sticks as I do. Lighting is very obvious and it is not a good idea to be out when experiencing a thunderstorm, especially in an open field. You might be the only thing around that will cause the lightning to be connected to the ground.# Seconds later, you will hear the thunder which is quite harmless. If you live in the city, observing this is not quite so easy. There are all kinds of buildings around and some of them may block your view.

#The great golfer, Lee Travino, was "hit" by lightening storm twice while playing in tournaments.

if you and your friend, ride bumper cars at the fair, what happens in terms of Newtons third law, when they collide?

belka [17]

Newton's third law says that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So if your friend's bumper car, both of you will go flying back at the same force in opposite directions.
Hope this helps.

g suppose he used an alpha particle with an energy of 8.3 MeV, what would be the speed of this alpha particle

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

<em>speed of the alpha particle is 2 x 10^7 m/s.</em>

Explanation:

energy of alpha particle = 8.3 Mev

1 Mev = 1.602 x 10^-13 J

8.3 Mev = $x$

solving, $x$ = 8.3 x 1.602 x 10^-13 = 1.329 x 10^-12 J

mass of a alpha particle = 6.645 x 10^−27 kg

The energy of the alpha particle is the kinetic energy KE of the alpha particle

KE = $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

where m is the mass of the alpha particle

v is the velocity of the alpha particle

substituting values, we have

1.329 x 10^-12 = $\frac{1}{2}*6.645*10^{-27}*v^{2}$

$v^{2}$ = 4 x 10^14

$v = \sqrt{4*10^{14} }$ = <em>2 x 10^7 m/s</em>
