Several forces act on a ball. Which of the following statements must be true? The velocity and acceleration could be in any dire

ction. None of these choices. The velocity and acceleration are in the direction of the resultant force. The velocity is in the direction of the resultant force, but the acceleration could be in any direction. The velocity could be in any direction, but the acceleration is in the direction of the resultant force.

Answer:

The velocity could be in any direction, but the acceleration is in the direction of the resultant force.

Explanation:

The ball (assuming that we can treat it as a point mass) must obey Newton's 2nd Law, that states that the acceleration produced by a force, is proportional to the applied force, being the mass the proportionality constant.

As the force is the vector, and the mass an scalar, the acceleration vector must be in the same direction as the force vector.

Velocity, instead, can be in any direction: When an object is speeding up is in the same direction as the acceleration, while if it is slowing down, it has just the opposite.

<u>Answer:</u> The velocity of released alpha particle is 1.127\times 10^7m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to law of conservation of momentum, momentum can neither be created nor be destroyed until and unless, an external force is applied.

For a system:

m_1v_1=m_2v_2

where,

m_1\text{ and }v_1 = Initial mass and velocity

m_2\text{ and }v_2 = Final mass and velocity

We are given:

m_1=238u\\v_1=1.895\times 10^{5}m/s\\m_2=4u\text{ (Mass of }\alpha \text{ -particle)}\\v_2=?m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

238\times 1.895\times 10^5=4\times v_2\\\\v_2=\frac{238\times 1.895\times 10^5}{4}=1.127\times 10^7m/s

Hence, the velocity of released alpha particle is 1.127\times 10^7m/s

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The answer is "1.144 \times 10^{-4} \ m".

Explanation:

w=\frac{2.44 \lambda L}{D}\\\\D=\frac{2.44 \lambda L}{w}\\\\

   =\frac{2.44 \times 633 \times 10^{-9}\times 4 }{0.054}\\\\=\frac{6178.08\times 10^{-9}}{0.054}\\\\=1.144 \times 10^{-4} \ m

I need help with 2 questions . Please help c:
dezoksy [38]
A) According to the nebular theory, the Solar System formed from a huge gaseous nebula which at a certain point was perturbated. Atoms and molecules started colliding, forming planetesimals (a sort of big rocks). The planetesimals were attracted to each other by gravity, forming bigger warm almost spherical objects called protoplanets, which at the end cooled down forming planets.
Therefore the correct answer is "all of the above".

b) The planets closer to the Sun were (and still are) subject to higher temperatures, due to their close distance to the Sun. In these conditions, rocky materials undergo condensation, while iced gaseous materials undergo vaporization. In the outer parts of the Solar System temperatures are too low to allow these transformations.
The correct answer is again "all of the above".
