To develop this problem we require the concepts related to Frequency and their respective way of calculating it.
The formula to calculate the frequency is given by

Where,


For fundamental mode, wavelength is equal to 4 time the length.
Then,

Replacing in the first equation,


Therefore the frequency is 96.12Hz
The force that pulls the wagon is the horizontal component of the actual force, which is 290*cos(32) = 246N
Answer:

Explanation:
As per energy conservation we know that the electrostatic potential energy of the charge system is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the alpha particle
So here we can write it as

now we know that


z = 79
here kinetic energy of the incident alpha particle is given as

now we have

now we have

Think of the formula force=mass x acceleration. even though they have the same acceleration, a train has more mass. is that helpful?
