Find the minimum kinetic energy in MeV necessary for an α particle to touch a 39 19 K nucleus that is initially at rest, assumin

g only Coulomb forces are present. Assume that the α particle has a radius of 2.0 fm, and the potassium nucleus of 3.7 fm, and take into account the masses of both particles.

Answer:

KE = 9.6MeV

Explanation:

Given the relationships we understand that,

q_1 = 19e, q_2 = 2e

The Potential at point p, is given by the following formula

V_ {p} = \frac {Kq_1} {r}

According to the graphic designed, you have,

V_ {p} = \frac {Kq_1} {(r_1 + r_2)}

V_ {p} = \frac {(9 * 10 ^ 9) (19 * 1.6 * 10 ^ {- 15})} {(3.7 + 2) * 10 ^{- 15}}}

V_ {p} = 4.8 * 10 ^ 6V

The kinetic energy of the particle would be given by

KE = q_2 * V_ {p} = 2e * 4.8 * 10 ^ 6V

KE = 9.6MeV

A rock is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 16 ft/s from an initial height of 5 ft. write a quadratic function equation
Andrei [34K]
During upward projection the final velocity is zero, and the gravitational acceleration is -10 m/s² (against the gravity).
Therefore; using the equation;
S = 1/2gt² + ut
Where s is the height h, g is gravitational acceleration, and t is the time and u is the initial velocity u, is 16 ft/s.
Thus; h= 1/2(-10)t² + 16t
We get; h = -5t² + 16t
Therefore; the quadratic equation is 5t² - 16t + h =0

If a 100N weight sits in an express elevator what will be the weight when the elevator is traveling at a constant speed
yarga [219]
This is a "trick" question.

If the elevator is traveling at constant speed, it means it is at rest. This means anything inside the elevator traveling at constant speed, weights the same as in an elevator not moving -also at rest-.

So the 100N weight's weight doesn't change in an elevator traveling at constant speed.

PLEASE HELP THIS IS DUE TODAY If an element's atomic mass and atomic number are known, what else can be determined? Give an exam
Fudgin [204]
If you know an element’s atomic number, you will learn the number of protons and electrons. The atomic number is equal to the number or protons and electrons. You can also find the number of neutrons, by subtracting the atomic mass from the atomic number.

For example, Fluorine’s atomic number is 9, and its atomic mass is 19. So, the number of electrons and protons in fluorine is 9. The number of neutrons the is equal to 19-9. Thus, Fluorine has 10 neutrons.

Hope this helps :)
