The energy that transforms into kinetic energy is the Potential Energy. It happens that objects can store energy as a result of its position. Image for example a slingshot. When you stretch the slingshot, it stores energy, this energy would be the energy you used to stretch the slingshot, the material aborbs it and then release to throw the projectile.
Now, on earth and everywhere in the universe where you are close to an object with mass, it exists a force called gravity that attracts you towards that object. Every object that has mass exercises gravitational attration towards the other objects. It just happens that Earth is has so much mass that its gravitational pull is way stronger that the gravitational pull of another object on its surface. This means things will tend to be as close as earth as possible, and in order to move something away from earth, you will have to perform a force in the opposite direction to Earth and, therefore, consume energy. This energy will be store as potential energy, and when you drop the object, the potential energy will be the energy that will transform to kinetic energy.
Answer:
The final kinetic energy of the Helium nucleus (alpha particle) after been scattered through an angle of 120° is
8.00 x 10-13J
Explanation:
In Rutherford Scattering experiment, the collision of the helium nucleus with the gold nucleus is an ELASTIC COLLISION. This means that the kinetic energy is conserved ( The same before and after the collision).
Thus, the final kinetic energy of the helium nucleus is the same as initial kinetic energy (8.00 x 10^-13Joules)
Although, the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy in Coulomb's law equation.
That is,
1/2(mv^2) = (K* q1q2)/r
Where m is the mass of helium nucleus, v is its colliding velocity, k is electrostatic constant, q1 is the charge on helium nucleus, q2 is the charge on gold nucleus, r is impact parameter
Answer:
speed of light simulating traveling at the speed of light. Speed of light, speed at which light waves propagate through different materials. In particular, the value for the speed of light in a vacuum is now defined as exactly 299,792,458 metres per second
The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium
Answer:
FALSE
Explanation:
The answer is false.
The speed of the sound in water is faster when compared to the speed of sound in air. This is because, the particles in air is loosely packed and are far from each other as compared to water or liquid.
The water particles are close to each other than air particles, so water particles are able to transmit the vibrations of the sound faster than the air particles.
Therefore sound waves travels faster in water than in air.
