A proton of mass m is at rest when it is suddenly struck head-on by an alpha particle (which consistsof 2 protons and 2 neutrons

) moving at speed v. If the collision is perfectly elastic, what speed will the alpha particle have after the collision

Answer:

3/5 v

Explanation:

The computation of speed will the alpha particle have after the collision is shown below:-

In a perfectly elastic the kinetic energy and collision the momentum are considered.

The velocity of the particles defines the below equation:

VA_f=(\frac{m_A-m_B}{m_A+m_B})VA_i+(\frac{2m_B}{m_A+m_B})VB_i

As we know that

VA_i=v

\\VB_i=0

Here, we consider A is the alpha particle and B is the proton and now by the above values we can solve the equation which is below:-

VA_f=(\frac{4m-m}{4m+m})v

\\VA_f=\frac{3m}{5m}v

\\VA_f=\frac{3}{5}v

Therefore the correct answer is \frac{3}{5}v

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

-30°C

Explanation:

F-32/180 =C-0/100

or, -22-32/180=C/100

or, -54/180*100=C

or, -0.3*100=C

therefore, C= -30

-22°F = -30°C

Question 10 of 34
labwork [276]

Julia walks from the park, which is six blocks east of her house, to the store, which is three blocks east of her house. Julia walks for 5 minutes. This walk's average speed will be 1.2 blocks per minute. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

Displacement is defined as the shortest distance between the two points. Distance is the horizontal length covered by the body. While displacement is the shortest distance between the two points.

Displacement is a vector quantity .its unit is m.

The average velocity on this walk will be;

\rm v_{avg}= \frac{d}{t} \\\\ \rm v_{avg}= \frac{6 \ block+ 3 \ block }{5 \ minute } \\\\ v_{avg}=1.4  \ block /min

Hence option B is correct.

If the air temperature is greater than the surface (water or land) temperature, there will be a net transfer of thermal energy f
ruslelena [56]

The thermal energy will be transferred from the air to the surface. Hence, the answer is false.

Thermal energy can be transferred from higher temperatures to lower temperatures. It is obey the second law of thermodynamics

"At a very microscopic level, it simply says that if you have a system that is isolated, any natural process in that system progresses in the direction of increasing disorder, or entropy, of the system."

It means that heat energy transferred from the higher temperature and the lower temperature states will absorb heat energy from the surrounding. The thermal energy will be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation.
