This image shows a stream of positively charged particles being directed at gold foil. The positively charged particles are call

ed "alpha particles” and each one is like a nucleus without any electrons.
What is the best explanation for why a particle is striking point X?

Alpha particles are mostly empty space, so they move in random directions, and one of these alpha particles can strike point X.
The gold atoms contain negative electrons, so when alpha particles strike the gold they keep moving but in various directions.
If an alpha particle hits the gold foil, a gold nucleus splits and a particle from it flies out at point X.
When the dense, positive alpha particle passes close to a positive nucleus of gold, the alpha particle repels and hits the screen at point X.

An adiabatic closed system is accelerated from 0 m/s to 34 m/s. Determine the specific energy change of this system, in kJ/kg.
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Δe=0.578 kJ/kg

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity v₁=0 m/s

Velocity v₂=34 m/s

to find

Specific energy change Δe

Solution

The specific energy change is simply determined from change in velocity

Δe=(v₂²-v₁²)/2

Put the given values to find the specific energy change

=(\frac{(34)^{2} *10^{-3} }{2} )\\=0.578kJ/kg

Δe=0.578 kJ/kg

A car moving at a speed of 20m/s has a kinetic energy of 300,000 J what’s the cars mass
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

<h2>1500 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of the car can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{2k}{ {v}^{2} }  \\

From the question we have

m =  \frac{2 \times 300000}{ {20}^{2} }  =  \frac{600000}{400}  =  \frac{6000}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>1500 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you
