Answer: 29.17m/s^2

Explanation:

Given the following :

Velocity = 525 m/s

Time = 18 seconds

Acceleration = change in Velocity with time

Using the motion equation:

v = u + at

Where v = final Velocity

u = Initial Velocity and t = time

Plugging our values

525 = 0 + a × 18

525 = 18(a)

a = 525 / 18

a = 29.166666

a = 29.17 m/s^2

Why should it take significantly more energy to move a beam of alpha particles than a beam of beta minus (β–) particles?

a_sh-v [17]

An 'alpha particle' is the same thing as the nucleus of a helium atom ...
a little bundle made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

A 'beta' particle is an electron.

The mass of an alpha particle is more than 7,000 times the mass of
an electron, so it certainly takes more energy to get it moving.

<span>A 67.0 kg crate is being raised by means of a rope. Its upward acceleration is 3.50 m/s2. What is the force exerted by the rope on the crate?

</span>Newton's Second Law<span> of Motion states, “The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration.” We calculate as follows:

Two electric charges qa = 1. 0 μc and qb = - 2. 0 μc are located 0. 50 m apart. how much work is needed to move the charges apar

melisa1 [442]

The total work done of 0.018 joules is needed to move the charges apart and double the distance between them.

We have two electric charges q(A) = 1μc and q(B) = -2μc kept at a distance 0.5 meter apart.

We have to calculate much work is needed to move the charges apart and double the distance between them.

<h3>What s the formula to calculate the Potential Energy of a system of two charges (say 'q' and 'Q') separated by a distance 'r' ?</h3>

The potential energy of the system of two charges separated by a distance is given by -

$U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o} } \frac{qQ}{r}$

In order to solve this question, it is important to remember the work - energy theorem which states -

"The change in the energy of the body is equal to work done on it"

Hence, using this work -energy theorem in the question given to us we get -

$U_{f} -U_{i} =W_{net}$

In our case -

$U_{f} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o} } \frac{qQ}{2r}\\\\U_{i} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o} } \frac{qQ}{r}\\\\W=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o} } \frac{qQ}{2r} - \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o} } \frac{qQ}{r}\\\\W = \frac{qQ}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}r} (\frac{1}{2} -1)\\\\W = 9\times 10^{9}\times \frac{1 \times 10^{-6} \times 2\times10^{-6} }{0.5} \times \frac{-1}{2}$

W = 0.018 joules

Hence, the total work done should be 0.018 joules.
