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 mechanic uses a mechanical lift to raise a car. The car weighs 11,000 N. The lift raises the car 2.5 m.
KengaRu [80]

Potential energy = (weight) x (height)

After the car has been raised 2.5 meters, it has

                 (11,000) x (2.5) = 27,500 Joules

MORE potential energy than it had before it was lifted.

That's the energy that has to come from the work you do to lift it.

Since no mechanical process is ever 100% efficient, the work required
to accomplish this task is <em>at least  27,500 joules</em>.

According to the intuitive guess you just made, is the overall momentum of the two-cart system after the collision greater than,
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

It is equal to the overall momentum before collision, so far no external object is involved.

Explanation:

Momentum is always conserved during collision as a rule. This is equal to the product of the mass and velocity. Thank you.

If a force of 10 N acts on an object and an additional force of 6 N acts on the object in
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

For this kind of problem, forces add. F = F1 + F2

F1 = 6 N

F2 = 10 N

F = 6N + 10N

F = 16N

A particle with charge -40.0nC is on the x axis at the point with coordinate x=0 . A second particle, with charge -20.0 nC , is
ICE Princess25 [194]

A particle with charge -40.0nC is on the x axis at the point with coordinate x=0 . A second particle, with charge -20.0 nC, is on the x axis at x=0.500 m.

No, there is no point at a finite distance where the electric potential is zero.

Hence, Option D) is correct.

What is electric potential?

Electric potential is the capacity for doing work. In the electrical case, a charge will exert a force on some other charge and the potential energy arises. For example, if a positive charge Q is fixed at some point in space, any other positive charge when brought close to it will experience a repulsive force and will therefore have potential energy.

It is also defined as the amount of work required to move a unit charge from a reference point to a specific point against an electric field.
