The correct notation for an alpha particle

Physics

TiliK225 [7]3 years ago

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).

Why will interference occur
den301095 [7]

Two waves interfere when they run into each other.

The barrier reflects waves that run straight into it. It acts as a wave source and sends wave pulses back up the page towards the incoming waves.

Imagine a loose string tied to a wall. Someone sends two consecutive pulses along the string towards the wall. The first pulse gets reflected right away. It will travel backward towards the person holding the string. Along its way, it will run into the second pulse. The two pulses will interfere. The wall will make the reflected pulse out of phase with the second one. They will end up creating a destructive interference.

So is the case with the water waves running into the barrier. The barrier will send incoming waves back toward where they came from. Reflected waves interfere with incoming ones.

A compass originally points North; at this location the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field has a magnitude of 2e
astraxan [27]

Answer:

μ =5.40 A-m²

Explanation:

The components of the net magnetic field are the magnetic field of the dipole and the magnetic field of Earth, then from the right triangle, the deflection angle is computed by

tan θ = Bdipole / Bearth     ⇒   Bdipole = Bearth* tan θ  

Bdipole = 2e-5 T*tan 70° = 5.49e-5 T

The magnetic field at the location of the compass due to the dipole has a magnitude

Bdipole = (μ₀/4π)(2μ/r³)    ⇒    μ = Bdipole r³ / 2(μ₀/4π)

μ = (5.49e-5 T)(0.27m)³ / 2(1 × 10−7 T m² /(C m/s)) = 5.40 A-m²

A 970 kg car starts from rest on a horizontal roadway and accelerates eastward
a_sh-v [17]

Answer: 4850N

Explanation:

Mass of car = 970 kg

Time = 5 s

Speed = 25 m/s

Average force exerted on the car = ?

Recall that Force is the product of the mass of an object and the acceleration by which it moves

i.e Force = mass x acceleration

(Since, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity or speed per unit time)

i.e Acceleration = Speed / Time

Acc = 25m/s / 5s

Acc = 5m/s^2

Average force = mass x acceleration

Avg force = 970 kg x 5m/s^2

= 4850N

Thus, the average force exerted on the car is 4850 Newton

you weight 650 N. What would you wieght if the Earth were four times as massive as it is and its raduis were three times its pre
LiRa [457]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept given by the law of gravitational attraction, which properly defines gravity under the function

g = \frac{GM}{r^2}

Here,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth

r = Distance between the human and the center of mass of the Earth

The acceleration due to gravity when is 4 times the mass of Earth and 3 times the radius would be given as,

g_1 = \frac{GM}{r^2}

g_2 = \frac{G(4M)}{(3r)^2}

g_2 = \frac{4GM}{9r^2}

g_2 = \frac{4}{9} g_1

The weight is defined as

W = mg_1

So the new weight would be given as

W' = mg_2

W' = m(\frac{4}{9} g_1 )

W' = \frac{4}{9} mg_1

W' = \frac{4}{9} W

W' = \frac{4}{9}(650)

W' = 288.8N

Therefore the weight under this condition is 288.8N
