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.

What are two ways an engineer can build a car in order for it to accelerate faster
Ket [755]

Explanation:

Take F=ma

a = F/m

For a higher, F higher or m lower

Means higher horse power for engine or lower mass for the car

PLEASE HURRY 20 PTS
Crank

Answer:

A. The electric field points to the left because the force on a negative charge is opposite to the direction of the field.

Explanation:

The electric force exerted on a charge by an electric field is given by:

where

F is the force

q is the charge

E is the electric field

We see that if the charge is negative, q contains a negative sign, so the force F and the electric field E will have opposite signs (which means they have opposite directions). This is due to the fact that the direction of the lines of an electric field shows the direction of the electric force experienced by a positive charge in that electric field: therefore, a negative charge will experience a force into opposite direction.

Answer:

a) frequency = 0.1724 Hz

b) Period = 5.8 sec

c) speed = 7.04 m/s

d) acceleration = 7.62 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

radius = 6.5m

time period = 5.8 sec every circle

a)  the frequency

frequency is the number of rotation in unit time

frequency = 1 / time period = 1/5.8

frequency = 0.1724 Hz

b)  the period

period is time taken in one rotation

period = total time / rotation = 5.8 / 1

Period = 5.8 sec

c)  the speed

speed = distance/time = circumference/time period = 2πr / t = (2π×6.5) / 5.8

speed = 7.04 m/s

d) acceleration

To find the acceleration we take the linear velocity squared divided by the radius of the circle.

so

acceleration = v² / r = (7.04)² / 6.5 = 49.5616 / 6.5

acceleration = 7.62 m/s²

A child uses a rubber band to launch a bottle cap at an angle of 37.0° above the horizontal. The cap travels a horizontal distan
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Initial velocity will be 1.356 m/sec      

Explanation:

Let the initial speed = u

Angle at which rubber band is launched = 37°

Horizontal component of initial velocity u_x=ucos\Theta =ucos37^{\circ}=0.7986u

Time is given as t = 1.20 sec

Distance in horizontal direction = 1.30 m

We know that distance = speed × time

So time t=\frac{distance}{speed}

1.20=\frac{1.3}{0.7986u}

u=1.356m/sec

So initial velocity will be 1.356 m/sec
