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

If a machine has an efficiency of 94% and you apply 574J of work, how much work do you get out of the machine
Mariana [72]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

539.56 Joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Efficiency of a machine is the ratio of work output to work input expressed as a percentage.
  • Efficiency = (work output/work input) × 100%
  • Efficiency of a machine is not 100% because so energy is lost due to friction of the moving parts and also as heat.

In this case;

Efficiency = 94%

Work input = 574 Joules

Therefore, Assuming work output is x

94% = (x/574 J) × 100%

0.94 = (x/574 J)

<h3>x = 539.56 J</h3>

Thus, you get work of 539.56 J from the machine

drek231 [11]

Answer:

3120J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

C  = Specific heat capacity  = 0.8J/g°C

Initial temperature  = 20°C

Mass given   = 5g

Final temperature  = 800°C

Unknown:

Energy given to the mass  = ?

Solution:

To find the energy given to the mass, let us simply use the expression below:

          H   =   m   c   ΔT

H is the unknown, the energy supplied

m is the mass of the substance

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the change in temperature

Input the variables;

            H    = 5  x   0.8    x    (800 - 20)  = 3120J
