Since an alpha particle has 2 protons and no negative particles (electrons) to balance the net charge, its charge is
Q=2(1.6e-19)=3.2e-19C.
The force on a charged particle is F=QE so
(3.2e-19C)(600N/C)=1.92e-16N
The average speed is 52km
Internal energy of the system changes by ΔE = 178 J.
Heat given to the system = Q = +658 J.
According to the first law of thermodynamics,
ΔE = Q + W
178 = 658 + W
∴ W = 178-658 = -480 J
Minus sign indicates that work is done by the system.
Mercury has less mass than earth. So the answer is B
Answer:
Explanation:
The diagram has a fairly simple explanation. In the top diagram, the space between the particle is increasing. That means that acceleration is increasing. The bottom diagram shows just the opposite. The particle starts off making large "distances" between where the particle is recorded and then the distances between recordings lessens and the particle is slowing down.
Rule: the greater the "distance" between dot positions, the greater the acceleration, because the speed is large.
Top diagram: increasing distance between dots = larger speed. The distance becomes greater as the particle moves to the right.
Bottom diagram: starts off large and decreases as we move from left to right = - acceleration.
