Answer: Hello there!

While some substances will show fluorescence when putting inside a microwave, there are some other substances that will react under other situations, for example, some of them may react to UV light or X-rays.

So she may find that the substance is fluorescent by putting it in the microwave, but if the substance does not react, this doesn't mean that the substance is not fluorescent.

I disagree.
Many substances show fluorescence under ULTRAVIOLET light, NOT microwaves. :)

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

Explanation:

The alpha particle will be deflected when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy

Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C

Kinetic energy of  the alpha particle = 5.28 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV)

=  8.459 × 10⁻¹³

k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²

Kinetic energy = potential energy =   k q₁q₂ / r where r is the closest distance the alpha particle got to the gold nucleus

r = (  9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c² × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C) / 8.459 × 10⁻¹³

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

A mass of 240 grams oscillates on a horizontal frictionless surface at a frequency of 2.5 Hz and with amplitude of 4.5 cm.
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

(a) The spring constant is 59.23 N/m

(b) The total energy involved in the motion is 0.06 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass, m = 240 g = 0.24 kg

frequency, f = 2.5 Hz

amplitude of the oscillation, A = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m

The  angular speed is calculated as;

ω = 2πf

ω = 2 x π x 2.5

ω = 15.71 rad/s

(a) The spring constant is calculated as;

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega ^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m\omega ^2\\\\where;\\\\k \ is \ the \ spring \ constant\\\\k = (0.24) \times (15.71)^2\\\\k = 59.23 \ N/m

(b) The total energy involved in the motion;

E = ¹/₂kA²

E = (0.5) x (59.23) x (0.045)²

E = 0.06 J
