Actually, alpha-particle is nothing but a "Nucleus of a Helium atom"
It is emitted by some radioactive substances, originally regarded as a ray

Hope this helps!

In a heat engine, Qh and Qc represents high temperature substance and low temperature substance respectively. Which of the follo
ElenaW [278]

The efficiency of a heat engine is given by the expression eff =\frac{Q_h-Q_c}{Q_h}

The efficiency of a heat engine is the ratio of the work done by the engine to the heat given as the input to the engine.

eff =\frac{W}{Q_h}

The heat engine absorbs Q h from the hot reservoir , performs a work <em>W</em> on the absorbed heat and rejects Qc to the cold reservoir.

Therefore, the work done  is given by,

W=Q_h - Q_c

Thus the efficiency is given by, eff =\frac{Q_h-Q_c}{Q_h}

Can any kind soul help me​
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

2917.4 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Gravitational acceleration of the Moon (g) = 0.25 times the gravitational acceleration of the earth

Radius (r) of the Moon = 1737 Km

Escape velocity (v) =?

Next, we shall determine the gravitational acceleration of the Moon. This can be obtained as follow:

Gravitational acceleration of the earth = 9.8 m/s²

Gravitational acceleration of the Moon (g) = 0.25 times the gravitational acceleration of the earth

= 0.25 × 9.8 = 2.45 m/s²

Next, we shall convert 1737 Km to metres (m). This can be obtained as follow:

1 Km = 1000 m

Therefore,

1737 Km = 1737 Km × 1000 m / 1 Km

1737 Km = 1737000 m

Thus, 1737 Km is equivalent to 1737000 m

Finally, we shall determine the escape velocity of the rocket as shown below:

Gravitational acceleration of the Moon (g) = 2.45 m/s²

Radius (r) of the moon = 1737000 m

Escape velocity (v) =?

v = √2gr

v = √(2 × 2.45 × 1737000)

v = √8511300

v = 2917.4 m/s

Thus, the escape velocity is 2917.4 m/s
