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.

As the frequency of a wave increases the wavelength.
zaharov [31]

Answer:

decreases

Explanation:

Remeber:

There is always inverse relation between frequency and wavelength.

So if one of them increases, other decreases and vice-versa.

f ∝ 1 / λ

What is the direction of the magnetic field if an electron moving in the positive x direction experiences a magnetic force in th
Alex787 [66]

Given :

An electron moving in the positive x direction experiences a magnetic force in the positive z direction.

To Find :

The direction of the magnetic field.

Solution :

We know, force is given by :

\vec{F}=q(\vec{v}\times \vec{B)}

Here, q = -e.

\vec{F}=(-e)(\vec{v}\times \vec{B)}\\\\\hat{k}=(-e)(\hat{i}\times \vec{B})

Now, for above condition to satisfy :

\hat{i}\times \vec{B}=-\hat{k}

So, \vec{B}=-\hat{j}

Therefore, direction of magnetic field is negative y direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

If the temperature is held constant during this process and the final pressure is 683 torrtorr , what is the volume of the bulb
Anna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the volume of the unknown bulb = X L

The volume of the system , after opening valve = (X + 0.72 L )

Use Boyles law gas equation,

P1V1 = P2V2 ( at temperature is constant )

Given:

P1 = 1.2 atm

P2 = 683 torr

Converting mmHg to atm,

1 atm = 760 mmHg(torr)

683 mmHg = 683/760

= 0.8987 atm

1.2X = 0.8987*(X + 0.720)

1.2X = 0.8987X + 0.6471

0.3013X = 0.6471

X = 2.15 L

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

An object will sink in water when its density is greater than that of water, which is 1 g/cm³.

Volume of the box is <u>1331 cm³</u>. (11³)

Maximum mass of sand will be 1331 g. [because 1331/1331 = 1 g/cm³]

  • Volume of sand = Mass of sand / Density of sand
  • Volume (sand) = 1331/3.5
  • Volume (sand) = 380.29 cm³

If the volume of sand is <u>greater than 380.29 cm³</u>, the box will sink in water.
