An alpha particle is identical to a(n) _____.

Physics
2 answers:
Ber [7]4 years ago
7 0

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.

The Earth's escape speed (the speed you need to get away forever) is about 40,000 kilometers per hour. Escape speed depends on t
Anvisha [2.4K]

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

  • What is escape speed:

The minimum speed that is required for an object to free itself from the gravitational force exerted by a massive object.

The formula of escape speed is

  • v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

where

v is escape velocity

G is universal gravitational constant

M is mass of the body to be escaped from

r is distance from the center of the mass

we can say that,

Escape speed depends on the gravity of the object trying to hold the spacecraft from escaping.

we know that,

The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second.

since, v ∝ g

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

Dose sound travel faster in a warm room or a cold room? explain your answer
dusya [7]

Answer:Sound travel faster in warm room.

Explanation:The speed of sound depends on the temperature of the medium. Mathematically, the relation between the speed of the sound and the temperature is give by:v=

is the ratio of the specific heats

R is the gas constant

T is the temperature of the medium

We know that the temperature of the warm room is more as compared to the cold room.

So, it is clear that the sound travel faster in a warm room. The particles move faster when the temperature is high.

Kathy 82 kg performer standing on a diving board at the carnival dive straight down into a small pool of water. Just before stri
mixas84 [53]

Solution :

Given weight of Kathy = 82 kg

Her speed before striking the water, $V_o $ = 5.50 m/s

Her speed after entering the water, $V_f$= 1.1 m/s

Time = 1.65 s

Using equation of impulse,

$dP = F \times  dT$

Here, F =  the force ,

       dT =  time interval over which the force is applied for

            = 1.65 s

       dP  = change in momentum

dP = m x dV

    $= m \times [V_f - V_o] $

    = 82 x (1.1 - 5.5)

    = -360 kg

∴ the net force acting will be

$F=\frac{dP}{dT}$

$F=\frac{-360}{1.65}$

  = 218 N
