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.

1. What happens when like charges come together?*
12345 [234]

Answer:

When like charges come together, they repel each other. For instance, when the north and south poles of a magnet come together, they push each other apart. The like poles in the magnet repel each other and unlike poles attract each other much. The same reaction occurs in like and unlike charges. Also, the repulsion acts along the line between the two charges.
