Answer:
<em>speed of the alpha particle is 2 x 10^7 m/s.</em>
Explanation:
energy of alpha particle = 8.3 Mev
1 Mev = 1.602 x 10^-13 J
8.3 Mev = 
solving,
= 8.3 x 1.602 x 10^-13 = 1.329 x 10^-12 J
mass of a alpha particle = 6.645 x 10^−27 kg
The energy of the alpha particle is the kinetic energy KE of the alpha particle
KE = 
where m is the mass of the alpha particle
v is the velocity of the alpha particle
substituting values, we have
1.329 x 10^-12 = 
= 4 x 10^14
= <em>2 x 10^7 m/s</em>
Answer: 98,000 J
Explanation: The total energy or mechanical energy is expressed in the following equation:
ME= PE + KE
PE = mgh
= 1000 kg x 9.8 m/s² x 10m
= 98000 J
ME = PE - KE
= 98000 J - 0 J
= 98000 J
