Answer:

4.0 cm

Explanation:

For the compression of the spring, the kinetic energy of the mass equals the elastic potential energy of the spring.

So, 1/2mv² = 1/2kx² ⇒ x = (√m/k)v

Since m and k are constant since its the same spring x ∝ v

If our speed is now v₁ = 2v, our compression is x₁

x₁ = (√m/k)v₁ = (√m/k)2v = 2(√m/k)v = 2x

x₁ = 2x

Since x = 2.0 cm, our compression for speed = 2v is

x₁ = 2(2.0) = 4.0 cm

An alpha particle (a helium nucleus, consisting of two protons and two neutrons) has a radius of approximately 1.6 × 10-15 m. A
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p is the product of mass and velocity, i.e

P = mv

Alpha particles, like helium nuclei, have a net spin of zero. Due to the mechanism of their production in standard alpha radioactive decay, alpha particles generally have a kinetic energy of about 5 MeV, and a velocity in the vicinity of 5% the speed of light.

From this we calculate the speed as

v = 5% 0f 3x10^8 m/s (speed of light)

v = 1.5x10^7 m/s

The mass of an alpha particle is approximately 6.64×10−27 kg

Therefore,

P = 1.5x10^7 x 6.64×10^−27

P = 9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s
