In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments performed by Ernest Rutherford at the beginning of the 20th century, alpha par

ticles (helium nuclei) were shot at gold nuclei and their paths were substantially affected by the Coulomb repulsion from the nuclei. If the energy of the (doubly charged) alpha nucleus was 5.1 MeV, how close to the gold nucleus (79 protons) could it come before being deflected? r =

Answer:

r  = 3.8 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

Explanation:

given data

alpha nucleus = 5.1 MeV

Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷ C

Kinetic energy of  the alpha particle = 5.97 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV) =  9.564 × 10⁻¹³

k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²

solution

we know that when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy than  alpha particle will deflect \

so

Kinetic energy = potential energy =   k q₁q₂ ÷ r   ..................1

here  r is close distance the alpha particle

so r will be put here value

r = (  9 × 10⁹  × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹  × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷ ) ÷ ( 9.564 × 10⁻¹³  )

r  = 3.8 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

Which of the following solutions should be chosen to help restore an ecosystem naturally? A. reintroducing an animal to the ecos
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A. reintroducing an animal to the ecosystem

Explanation:

As generally, all know that for restoring an ecosystem naturally, it requires reintroduction of an animal to the ecosystem. As though it helps in reimposing the ecosystem back, and also helps to improve our ecosystem in natural surroundings, natural terrain, and population density. Basically reintroducing an animal is also required for the balancing of the ecosystem. As everything requires a properly balanced nature.

A guitar player tunes the fundamental frequency of a guitar string to 560 Hz. (a) What will be the fundamental frequency if she
lawyer [7]

Answer:

(a) if she increases the tension in the string is increased by 15%, the fundamental frequency will be increased to 740.6 Hz

(b) If she decrease the length of the the string by one-third the fundamental frequency will be increased to 840 Hz

Explanation:

(a) The fundamental, f₁, frequency is given as follows;

f_1 = \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}  }{2 \cdot L}

Where;

T = The tension in the string

μ = The linear density of the string

L = The length of the string

f₁ = The fundamental frequency = 560 Hz

If the tension in the string is increased by 15%, we will have;

f_{(1  \, new)} = \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T\times 1.15}{\mu}}  }{2 \cdot L} = 1.3225 \times \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}  }{2 \cdot L}  = 1.3225 \times f_1

f_{(1  \, new)} = 1.3225 \times f_1 = (1 + 0.3225) \times f_1

f_{(1  \, new)} = 1.3225 \times f_1 =\dfrac{132.25}{100} \times 560 \ Hz  = 740.6 \  Hz

Therefore, if the tension in the string is increased by 15%, the fundamental frequency will be increased by a fraction of 0.3225 or 32.25% to 740.6 Hz

(b) When the string length is decreased by one-third, we have;

The new length of the string, L_{new} = 2/3·L

The value of the fundamental frequency will then be given as follows;

f_{(1  \, new)} =  \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}  }{2 \times \dfrac{2 \times L}{3} }  =\dfrac{3}{2} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}  }{2 \cdot L} = \dfrac{3}{2} \times 560 \ Hz =  840 \ Hz

When the string length is reduced by one-third, the fundamental frequency increases to one-half or 50% to 840 Hz.
