Which of these statements about ionising radiation are true:

Arte-miy333 [17]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

In a nuclear physics experiment, a proton (mass $1.67 \times 10^(-27)$ kg, charge +e = $+1.60 \times 10^(-19)$ C) is fired directly at a target nucleus of unknown charge. (You can treat both objects as point charges, and assume that the nucleus remains at rest.) When it is far from its target, the proton has speed $2.50 \times 10^6$ m/s. The proton comes momentarily to rest at a distance $5.31 \times 10^(-13)$ m from the center of the target nucleus, then flies back in the direction from which it came. What is the electric potential energy of the proton and nucleus when they are $5.31 \times 10^{-13}$ m apart?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass of proton = $1.67 \times 10^{-27}$ kg

Charge of proton = $1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

Speed of proton = $2.50 \times 10^{6} m/s$

Distance traveled = $5.31 \times 10^{-13} m$

We will calculate the electric potential energy of the proton and the nucleus by conservation of energy as follows.

$(K.E + P.E)_{initial}$ = $(K.E + P.E)_{final}$

$(\frac{1}{2} m_{p}v^{2}_{p}) = (\frac{kq_{p}q_{t}}{r} + 0)$

where, $\frac{kq_{p}q_{t}}{r} = U = Electric potential energy$

U = $(\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v^{2}_{p})$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

U = $(\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v^{2}_{p})$

= $(\frac{1}{2} \times 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \times (2.5 \times 10^{6})^{2})$

= $5.218 \times 10^{-15} J$

Therefore, we can conclude that the electric potential energy of the proton and nucleus is $5.218 \times 10^{-15} J$ .

The gravitational force experienced by Earth due to the Moon is ________ the gravitational force experienced by the Moon due to

Vsevolod [243]

The gravitational force experienced by Earth due to the Moon is <u>equal to </u>the gravitational force experienced by the Moon due to Earth.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The force that attracts any two objects/bodies with mass towards each other is defined as gravitational force. Generally the gravitational force is attractive, as it always pulls the masses together and never pushes them apart.

The gravitational force can be calculated effectively using the following formula: F=GMmr^2

where “G” is the gravitational constant.

Though gravity has the ability to pull the masses together, it is the weakest force in the nature.

The mass of the Earth and moon varies, but still the gravitational force felt by the Earth and Moon are alike.

During a compression at a constant pressure of 290 Pa, the volume of an ideal gas decreases from 0.62 m3 to 0.21 m3. The initial

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

a) -41.1 Joule

b) 108.38 Kelvin

Explanation:

Pressure = P = 290 Pa

Initial volume of gas = V₁ = 0.62 m³

Final volume of gas = V₂ = 0.21 m³

Initial temperature of gas = T₁ = 320 K

Heat loss = Q = -160 J

Work done = PΔV

⇒Work done = 290×(0.21-0.62)

⇒Work done = -118.9 J

a) Change in internal energy = Heat - Work

ΔU = -160 -(-118.9)

⇒ΔU = -41.1 J

∴ Change in internal energy is -41.1 J

b) V₁/V₂ = T₁/T₂

⇒T₂ = T₁V₂/V₁

⇒T₂ = 320×0.21/0.62

⇒T₂ = 108.38 K

∴ Final temperature of the gas is 108.38 Kelvin
