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.

In many ways the Sun is an average star. What is something unique about the Sun?

Fudgin [204]

The Sun keeps the planets in orbit, using it's own gravitational pull. IT also powers every planet, allowing plants to thrive and people to live.

The mass of Tesla Model S is 2000 kg and its engine produces

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The ratio of the power generated by the engines are $\dfrac{2}{3}$

(b) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Tesla = 2000 Kg

Torque = 400 Nm

Mass of Mercedes = 1.5 M Tesla

The Benz engine produces 50% more torque than the Tesla.

We need to calculate the power generated by the engines 6 seconds after a start from rest

Using formula of power

$P=F\cdot v$

We know that,

$v=at$

$v=\dfrac{F}{m}t$

$v=\dfrac{\tau}{mr}t$

Put the value of F and v in equation (I)

$P=\dfrac{\tau}{r}\times\dfrac{\tau}{mr}t$

$P=\dfrac{\tau^2t}{mr^2}$

Here, r and t are same for both bodies.

$P\propto\dfrac{\tau^2}{m}$

We need to calculate the ratio of the power generated by the engines

Using formula of power

$\dfrac{P_{T}}{P_{B}}=\dfrac{\tau_{T}^2}{m_{T}}\times\dfrac{m_{B}}{\tau_{B}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{P_{T}}{P_{B}}=\dfrac{400^2}{2000}\times\dfrac{3000}{600^2}$

$\dfrac{P_{T}}{P_{B}}=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Hence, The ratio of the power generated by the engines are $\dfrac{2}{3}$
