Answer:

Helium nucleus

Explanation:

Alpha particles have two protons and two neutrons, wich is the configuration of an Helium Nucleus.

The atomic number of an element it is the number of protons that the element has in its nucleus, this number is uniqe to every element. Helium is the second element in the periodic table so Its atomic number is 2, This means it has two protons and the same amount of neutrons, wich makes alpha particles identical to a helium nucleus, not to a Helium atom, because a Helium atom has electrons and alpha particles don't have electrons.

1. 168.1 Hz

To find the apparent frequency heard by the driver in the car, we can use the formula for the Doppler effect:

$f'=(\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s})f$

where

f is the original sound of the horn

v is the speed of sound

$v_o$ is the velocity of the observer (the driver and the car), which is positive if the observer is moving towards the source and negative if it is moving away

$v_s$ is the velocity of the sound source (the train), which is positive if the source is moving away from the observer and negative otherwise

In this problem we have, according to the sign convention used:

$v = 343 m/s\\f = 164 Hz\\v_o = -15 m/s\\v_s = -23 m/s$

Substituting, we find:

$f'=(\frac{343-15}{343-23})(164)=168.1 Hz$

2. $2.96\cdot 10^8 m/s$

The speed of light can be calculated as

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

In this problem:

$d=2\cdot 3.85\cdot 10^8 =7.7\cdot 10^8 m$ is the total distance travelled by the laser beam (twice the distance between the Earth and the Moon)

t = 2.60 s is the time taken

Substituting in the formula,

$v=\frac{7.7\cdot 10^8 m}{2.60 s}=2.96\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Usimov [2.4K]

Explanation:

It is known that relation between torque and angular acceleration is as follows.

$\tau = I \times \alpha$

and, I = $\sum mr^{2}$

So, $I_{1} = 2 kg \times (1 m)^{2} + 2 kg \times (1 m)^{2}$

= 4 $kg m^{2}$

$\tau_{1} = 4 kg m^{2} \times \alpha_{1}$

$\tau_{2} = I_{2} \alpha_{2}$

So, $I_{2} = 2 kg \times (0.5 m)^{2} + 2 kg \times (0.5 m)^{2}$

= 1 $kg m^{2}$

as $\tau_{2} = I_{2} \alpha_{2}$

= $1 kg m^{2} \times \alpha_{2}$

Hence, $\tau_{1} = \tau_{2}$

$4 \alpha_{1} = \alpha_{2}$

$\alpha_{1} = \frac{1}{4} \alpha_{2}$

Thus, we can conclude that the new rotation is $\frac{1}{4}$ times that of the first rotation rate.
