Find the electric force acting on an alpha particle in a horizontal electric field of 600N/C

1 answer:

6 0

Since an alpha particle has 2 protons and no negative particles (electrons) to balance the net charge, its charge is
Q=2(1.6e-19)=3.2e-19C.
The force on a charged particle is F=QE so
(3.2e-19C)(600N/C)=1.92e-16N

Two Polaroids are aligned so that the initially unpolarized light passing through them is a maximum. At what angle should one of

steposvetlana [31]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the law of Malus which describes the change in the Intensity of Light when it crosses a polarized surface.

Mathematically the expression is given as

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_0$ = Initial Intensity

I = Final Intensity after pass through the polarizer

$\theta$ = Angle between the polarizer and the light

Since it is sought to reduce the intensity by half the relationship between the two intensities will be given as

$\frac{I}{I_0} = \frac{1}{2}$

Using the Malus Law we have,

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{I}{I_0}$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{1}{2}$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})^2$

$\theta = 75.52\°$

Angle with respect to maximum is $90-75.52 = 14.48\°$

A bicycle pump contains 200 cm3 of air and is connected to a bicycle tyre. The volume of the tyre is 800 cm3. The pressure of th

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The total volume of the air is 1000 cubic centimeters.

Explanation:

Since the bicycle pump and the bicycle tyre have the same pressure, then the total volume of the air is the sum of the volume of each element, then we translate this into the following artihmetical expression:

$V = 200\,cm^{3}+800\,cm^{3}$
