Answer:

The correct question is:

"Find the energy each gains"

The energy gained by a charged particle accelerated through a potential difference is given by

\Delta U = q\Delta V

where

q is the charge of the particle

\Delta V is the potential difference

For a proton,

q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

And since \Delta V=100 V

The energy gained by the proton is

\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J

For an alpha particle,

q=+2e=3.2\cdot 10^{-19}C

Therefore, the energy gained is

\Delta U=(3.2\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=3.2\cdot 10^{-17}J

Finally, for a singly ionized helium nucleus (a helium nucleus that has lost one electron)

q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

So the energy gained is the same as the proton:

\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars
shtirl [24]
In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

Find average speed when time= 27s and total distance is 94m
Slav-nsk [51]
3.4814815 (or 3 13/27) m/s

speed = distance/time
3.4814815 (or 3 13/27) = 94/27

How many nanoseconds are there in 1.90 yr ?<br> Express your answer using three significant figures.
shepuryov [24]

       (1.9 yr) x (365.24 day/yr) x (86,400 sec/day) x (10⁹ nsec/sec)

   =  (1.9 x 365.24 x 86,400 x 10⁹) nanosec

   =  6.00 x 10¹⁶ nanoseconds

Photoelectrons with a maximum speed of 8.00 • 106 m/sec are ejected froma surface in the presence of light with a frequency of 6
Andru [333]

The kinetic energy is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

We know the mass and the maximum speed, plugging their values in the expression above we have:

\begin{gathered} K=\frac{1}{2}(9.1\times10^{-31})(8\times10^6)^2 \\ K=2.91\times10^{-17}\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is d.
