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

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.

Consider an object with weight on the Earth W_earth. The gravity of the Earth is g. If it is moved to another planet with gravit

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

$W_{Planet} = \frac{W_{Earth}}{g}\times a$

Explanation:

We know that weight of an object on Earth is,

$W_{Earth} = m\times g$

Thus,

$m = \frac{W_{Earth}}{g}$

where,

m = mass of an object, which is constant and is independent of gravity

g = acceleration due to gravity on Earth

On the new planet, gravity = a

Thus the weight of the object on the new planet will be

$W_{Planet} = m\times a$

$W_{Planet} = \frac{W_{Earth}}{g}\times a$
