Answer:

However, compared to other stars, our Sun is only a medium-sized star, meaning that some stars are much larger than the Sun and some are much smaller. The Sun looks bigger than other stars because it is so much closer to the Earth. The further away an object is, the smaller it appears, even if it is very big.

The diagram shows a tray of marbles being shaken from side to side. As this happens some of the marbles jump out of the tray.

irakobra [83]

The marbles that are 'more energetic' fall out of the tray, in the same way particles have enough energy to escape and turn into a gas.

The block shown above has a mass of 105 g.<br> What is the density of the block? SC.8.P.8.3

zaharov [31]

The density of the block is 1.25 cm³

The correct answer to the question is Option B. 1.25 cm³

To solve this question, we'll begin by calculating the volume of the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Length = 7 cm

Height = 4 cm

Width = 3 cm

<h3>Volume =? </h3>

Volume = Length × Width × Height

Volume = 7 × 3 × 4

<h3>Volume = 84 cm³</h3>

Thus, the volume of the block is 84 cm³

Finally, we shall determine the density of the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume i.e

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\\\$

Mass of block = 105 g

Volume of block = 84 cm³

<h3>Density of block =? </h3>

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume}\\\\Density = \frac{105}{84}\\\\$

<h3>Density of block = 1.25 cm³</h3>

Therefore, the density of the block is 1.25 cm³.

Hence, Option B. 1.25 cm³ gives the correct answer to the question.

You are at the controls of a particle accelerator, sending a beam of 3.60 x10^7 m/s protons (mass m) at a gas target of an unkno

matrenka [14]

Answer:

a) mass of unknown nucleus = 0.04245 mp, where mp is the proton mass

b) Speed of the unknown nucleus = (7.067 x 10^7) m/s

Explanation:

Considering the initial conditions, the observed collisions are ellastic, i.e, the total kinetic energy are conserved. The proton's mass will refer as $m_{p}$ .

(a)

Total kinetic energy conservation

$\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v_{p_0}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{u}v_{u_o}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v_{p_f}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{u}v_{u_f}^{2}$

where $v_{u_o}$ represents the initial velocity of the unknown element, $m_{u}$ the mass of the unknown element, and $v_{u_f}$ the final velocity of the unknown element

Linear momentum conservation

$m_{p}v_{p_0}+m_{u}v_{u_o}=m_{p}v_{p_f}+m_{u}v_{u_f}$

Using the initial speed of the target nucleus (unknown) is negligible, i.e, its speed is zero. Thereby, using the relation of linear momentum conservation given above, it is possible to find an expression of the final speed of the unknown nucleus in terms of its mass, which can be inserted in the relation of the kinetic energy conservation to obtain the value of the mass of the unknown elements, as follows;

$m_{u}v_{u_f}=m_{p}v_{p_0}-m_{p}v_{p_f}\\\\v_{u_f}=\frac{m_{p}(v_{p_0}-v_{p_f})}{m_{u}}$

Substituting this expression in the relation of total kinetic energy conservation,

$m_{p}(v^{2}_{p_0}-v^{2}_{p_f})={m_{u}}v^{2}_{u}_{f}$

Then,

$m_{p}(v^{2}_{p_0}-v^{2}_{p_f})={m_{u}}\frac{m^{2}_{p}(v_{p_0}-v_{p_f})^{2}}{m^{2}_{u}}\\\\m_{u}= \frac{m_{p}(v_{p_0}-v_{p_f})^{2}}{(v^{2}_{p_0}-v^{2}_{p_f})}$

Replacing the given data

$m_{u}= \frac{m_{p}(3.6x10^{7}-3.3x10^{7})^{2}}{((3.6x10^{7})^{2}-(3.3x10^{7})^{2})}$

Then,

$m_{u}=0.04245m_{p}$

(b) Using the relation of the final speed from linear momentum conservation and the above result, the speed of the unknown nucleus is calculated

$v_{u_f}=\frac{m_{p}(v_{p_0}-v_{p_f})}{m_{u}}\\\\v_{u_f}=\frac{m_{p}(3.6x10^{7}-3.3x10^{7})}{0.04245m_{p}}\\\\v_{u_f}=7.067x10^{7} m/s$
