The correct notation for an alpha particle

2 answers:

Can't find the options on the keyboard so ill try to describe it. I think either an He symbol or the greek letter alpha is accepted. There must be a 4 at the top left and a 2 at bottom left.

Answer:

α or He⁴₂

Explanation:

*The computer does not allow for the 4 and 2 to be directly inline

The alpha particle can be notated as a simple "α". Since that symbol is the letter alpha in Greek. Another way of notating the particle is "He⁴₂" (where the 2 is directly under the 4), this is because an alpha particle contains the exact same components of a helium nucleus, two protons, and two neutrons (with an atomic mass of four).

The rest of the question

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 55.0 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.220 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force. Express your answer numerically in newtons to three significant figures.

Answer:

The net force exerted on the third charge is $F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The third charge is $q_3 = 55 nC = 55 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the third charge is $x = -1.220 \ m$

The first charge is $q_1 = -16 nC = -16 *10^{-9} \ C$

The position of the first charge is $x_1 = -1.650m$

The second charge is $q_2 = 32 nC = 32 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the second charge is $x_2 = 0 \ m$

The distance between the first and the third charge is

$d_{1-3} = -1.650 -(-1.220)$

$d_{1-3} = -0.43 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is

$F_{1-3} = \frac{k q_1 q_3}{d_{1-3}^2}$

Where k is the coulomb's constant with a value $9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.$

substituting values

$F_{1-3} = \frac{9*10^{9}* 16 *10^{-9} * (55*10^{-9})}{(-0.43)^2}$

$F_{1-3} = 4.28 *10^{-5} \ N$

The distance between the second and the third charge is

$d_{2-3} = 0- (-1.22)$

$d_{2-3} =1.220 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is mathematically evaluated as

$F_{2-3} = \frac{k q_2 q_3}{d_{2-3}^2}$

substituting values

$F_{2-3} = \frac{9*10^{9} * (32*10^{-9}) *(55*10^{-9})}{(1.220)^2}$

$F_{2-3} = 1.06*10^{-5} N$

The net force is

$F_{net} = F_{1-3} -F_{2-3}$

substituting values

$F_{net} = 4.28 *10^{-5} - 1.06*10^{-5}$

$F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

What unit is used for the value of G in Newton's Law of Universal<br> Gravitation?<br> *

Helga [31]

Answer:

In SI units, its value is approximately 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2. The modern notation of Newton's law involving G was introduced in the 1890s by C. V. Boys. The first implicit measurement with an accuracy within about 1% is attributed to Henry Cavendish in a 1798 experiment.

The potential energy of the block is A) 490 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field.

It is calculated as follows:

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object above the ground

For the block in this problem, we have:

m = 10 kg

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

h = 5 m

Therefore, its potential energy is:

$PE=(10)(9.8)(5)=490 J$

Why quantity refractive index dooesn't have unit

ASHA 777 [7]

Refractive Index is a ratio of two similar physical quantity which is dimension less
refractive index = sin I / sin r

therefore it doesn't have a unit.
