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

An object's buoyant force and weight mean the same thing.<br><br>A. True<br><br>B. False​
german

Answer:

False

Explanation:

No. The buoyant force on an object is the portion of its weight that appears to vanish

when the object is in any fluid (could be either a liquid or a gas).

If the object happens to float in a particular fluid, then the buoyant force at that moment

is equal to the object's weight.

Notice that the buoyant force on an object will be different in different fluids.

rewona [7]

Answer and Explanation:

(a) The attached image below shows the diagram of a CRT in the helmholtz coils and well labelled with details

(b). The electron will follow a circular path which travels along under constant magnetic field

r = \frac{mV}{qB}

where m = mass of electron, V = velocity of electron, q = charge of the electron and B = magnetic field strength
