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

madam [21]3 years ago

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.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Voltage, V = 1.58 V

Power, P = 1 W

1 A.h

Charge, Q = 1 A.h = 1 x 3600 A.s = 3600 C

Power x time = Voltage x charge

1 x t = 1.58 x 3600

t = 1.58 x 3600 second

t = 1.58 hours

Suppose you were marooned on a tropical island and had to use seawater (density 1.10 g·cm3) to make a primitive barometer. what
Paul [167]

We know that P = hρg

Where:

P - pressure Pa,

h - height in meter,

ρ – would be the density in kg / m^3; and

g - acceleration due to gravity is m / s^2


p = hρg if h = 0.735 meter, ρ = 13600 kg / meter^3, g = 10 meter/ sec^2

p = 0.735*13600*10 = 99960 Pa or 

P = 1 x 10^5 Pa



Now with sea water if we have to make a barometer:

ρ = 1100 kg / meter^3 (given) 

P = hρg if we put the value of P calculated and the value of ρ = 1100 kg / meter^3 given, we will 

get, 1 x 10^5 = h*1100*10


therefore, h = 9.09 meter or 29.82 feet of water.
