Which is a possible measurement of the momentum of a moving object?

Momentum is a vector, although we don't hammer on that. In order to completely describe a momentum, you need a magnitude AND a direction ... just like force and velocity.

So choice #2 is the magnitude of a momentum, without its direction.

<em>Choice #3</em> is the full package, with both the magnitude and the direction.

Choice #1 has units of energy, and choice #4 has units of acceleration, so neither of those can be it.

An alpha particle (a helium nucleus, consisting of two protons and two neutrons) has a radius of approximately 1.6 × 10-15 m. A

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p is the product of mass and velocity, i.e

P = mv

Alpha particles, like helium nuclei, have a net spin of zero. Due to the mechanism of their production in standard alpha radioactive decay, alpha particles generally have a kinetic energy of about 5 MeV, and a velocity in the vicinity of 5% the speed of light.

From this we calculate the speed as

v = 5% 0f 3x10^8 m/s (speed of light)

v = 1.5x10^7 m/s

The mass of an alpha particle is approximately 6.64×10−27 kg

Therefore,

P = 1.5x10^7 x 6.64×10^−27

P = 9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

Two large thin metal plates are parallel and close to each other. On their inner faces, the plates have excess surface charge of

wariber [46]

Answer:

For left = 0 N/C

For right = 0 N/C

At middle = $-7.6836 * 10^{-11} \vec{i}$ N/C

Explanation:

Given data :-

б = $6.8 * 10^{-22}$ C/ m²

Considering the two thin metal plates to be non conducting sheets of charges.

Electric field is given by

$E = \frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon }$

1) To the left of the plate

$\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+ (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(\vec{i})$ = 0 N/C.

2) To the right of them.

$\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+ (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(\vec{i})$ = 0 N/C.

3) Between them.

$\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+ (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})$ = $(\frac{\sigma }{\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})$ = $-\frac{6.8 * 10^{-22} }{8.85 * 10 ^{-12} } \vec{i}$ = $-7.6836 * 10^{-11} \vec{i}$ N/C
