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 7,000 times the mass of 
an electron, so it certainly takes more energy to get it moving.

A student pulls a 2.0-kg object to the left with a force of 30 N, while another student is pulling against the object in the opp
alex41 [277]

Answer:

5 m/s2, left

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by applying Newton's second law of motion, which  states that:

\sum F=ma

where:

\sum F is the net force acting on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have:

\sum F=30 N - 20 N = 10 N (to the left) is the net force on the object

m = 2.0 kg is the mass

So, the acceleration is:

a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{10}{2.0}=5.0 m/s^2

in the same direction as the force (left).
