Answer:

C. Alpha particles.

Explanation:

An alpha particle is a radioactive particle emitted from a radioactive source. It is made up of two protons and two neutrons. It is a helium nucleus: that is a helium atom without electrons.

Mass number = 4

= number of proton + number of neutrons

= 2 + 2

The stoplight had just changed and a 2100 kg Cadillac had entered the intersection, heading north at 3.2 m/s , when it was struc
elena55 [62]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the Cadillac, m_1=2100\ kg

Speed of Cadillac, v_1=3.2\ m/s (towards north)

Mass of Volkswagen, m_2=1100\ kg

The cars stuck together and slid to a halt, leaving skid marks angled 35 degrees north of east.

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

The momentum along x axis, m_1v_1=(m_1+m_2)\ usin35............(1)

The momentum along y axis, m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)\ ucos35...........(2)

From equation (1) and (2) it is clear that,

\dfrac{m_1v_1}{m_2v_2}=tan35

v_2=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{m_2\ tan35}

v_2=\dfrac{2100\times 3.2}{1100\times \ tan35}

v_2=8.72\ m/s

So, the Volkswagen going just before the impact is 8.72 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
