why should it take significantly more energy to move a beam of alpha particles than a beam of beta minus particles

Physics

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 <em>7,000 times</em> the mass of
an electron, so it certainly takes more energy to get it moving.

A car with an initial speed of 4.30 m/s accelerates at a rate of 3 ms^2. What is the car's speed after 5 s?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

v = u + at

u = 4.30 m/s

a = 3 m/s^2

t = 5 s

v = 4.30 + (3)(5)

v = 4.30 + 15

v = 19.30 m/s

When two sticks are laid end-to-end they cover a length of 8.32 feet. One stick is 2.93 ft longer than the other. What is the le
77julia77 [94]

To solve this problem we will start by defining the length of the shortest stick as 'x'. And the magnitude of the longest stick, according to the statement as

x+2.93

Both cover a magnitude of 8.32 ft, therefore

x +(x+2.97) = 8.32

Now solving for x we have,

x + (x + 2.93) = 8.32

2x + 2.93 = 8.32

2x = 8.32 - 2.93

x = \frac{ 8.32 - 2.93}{2}

x = 2.695 ft

Therefore the shorter stick is 2.695ft long.
