The correct notation for an alpha particle

2 answers:

3 0

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).

How to get displacement

andrew-mc [135]

Displacement is how much of a liquid (typically water for simplicity in the metric system) is pushed aside when another object is completely submerged. For example, when a 100mL of water has a block placed into it, and rises to 150mL, the block has displaced the water.

A wire loop of radius 0.50 m lies so that an external magnetic field of magnitude 0.40 T is perpendicular to the loop. The field

vazorg [7]

The magnitude of the induced emf is given by:

ℰ = |Δφ/Δt|

ℰ = emf, Δφ = change in magnetic flux, Δt = elapsed time

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the loop, so the magnetic flux φ is given by:

φ = BA

B = magnetic field strength, A = loop area

The area of the loop A is given by:

A = πr²

r = loop radius

Make a substitution:

φ = B2πr²

Since the strength of the magnetic field is changing while the radius of the loop isn't changing, the change in magnetic flux Δφ is given by:

Δφ = ΔB2πr²

ΔB = change in magnetic field strength

Make another substitution:

ℰ = |ΔB2πr²/Δt|

Given values:

ΔB = 0.20T - 0.40T = -0.20T, r = 0.50m, Δt = 2.5s

Plug in and solve for ℰ:

ℰ = |(-0.20)(2π)(0.50)²/2.5|

ℰ = 0.13V

Three dogs (Spot, Fido, and Steinberg) are pulling on a chew toy. The chew toy is experiencing no acceleration. Spot is pulling

quester [9]

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the force applied by Steinberg are approximately 15.192 newtons and 126.704º.

Explanation:

The chew toy is at equilibrium and experimenting three forces from three distinct dogs. The Free Body Diagram depicting the system is attached below. By Newton's Laws we construct the following equations of equilibrium: (Sp is for Spot, F is for Fido and St is for Steinberg) All forces and angles are measured in newtons and sexagesimal degrees, respectively:

$\Sigma F_{x} = F_{F}\cdot \cos \theta_{F} + F_{St,x} = 0$ (1)

$\Sigma F_{y} = F_{F}\cdot \sin \theta_{F}-F_{Sp}+F_{St,y} = 0$ (2)

If we know that $F_{F} = 20\,N$ , $F_{Sp} = 30\,N$ and $\theta_{F} = 63^{\circ}$ , then the components of the force done by Steinberg on the chewing toy is:

$F_{St,x} = -F_{F}\cdot \cos \theta_{F}$

$F_{St,x} = -(20\,N)\cdot \cos 63^{\circ}$

$F_{St, x} = -9.080\,N$

$F_{St,y} = F_{Sp}-F_{F}\cdot \sin \theta_{F}$

$F_{St,y} = 30\,N-(20\,N)\cdot \sin 63^{\circ}$

$F_{St, y} = 12.180\,N$

The magnitud of the force is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$F_{St} = \sqrt{F_{St,x}^{2}+F_{St,y}^{2}}$

$F_{St} =\sqrt{(-9.080\,N)^{2}+(12.180\,N)^{2}}$

$F_{St} \approx 15.192\,N$

Since the direction of this force is in the 3rd Quadrant on Cartesian plane, we determine the direction of the force with respect to the eastern semiaxis:

$\theta_{St} = 180^{\circ} + \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{F_{St,y}}{F_{St,x}}\right)$
