An alpha particle (α), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elect

ric field. The particle then begins to move. Find the speed of the alpha particle after it has moved through a potential difference of −3.45×10^−3 V. The charge and the mass of an alpha particle are qα = 3.20×10^−19 C and mα = 6.68×10^−27 kg , respectively.
Mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of which of the following types of forces?

Select all that apply.
A- electrostatic
B- frictional
C- magnetic
D- gravitational

Part B- Which of the following quantities are unknown?
A- the initial speed of the alpha particle
B- the value of the electric potential at the initial position of the alpha particle
C- the value of the electric potential at the final position of the alpha particle
D- the final speed of the alpha particle
E- the charge of the alpha particle
F- the difference in potential between the initial and final positions of the alpha particle
G- the mass of the alpha particle

Part C- Use conservation of energy (Ki+qVi=Kf+qVf) to solve for the final kinetic energy. Then use this value to solve for the final velocity of the alpha particle.

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy gained by alpha particle

= charge x potential difference

1/2 mv² = 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 3.45 x 10⁻³

.5 x 6.68 x 10⁻²⁷ V² = 11.04 x 10⁻²²

V² = 3.3  x 10⁵

V = 5.74 x 100

= 574 m / s

Mechanical energy is conserved in respect of A , C and D .

Part B

B , C, are unknown .

A sample of 5.6 L of a gas is at a pressure of 1.5 atm. If the volume of the gas is compressed to 4.8 L, what will the new press
Effectus [21]

Answer:

1.75atm

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, the pressure P of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to it's volume V provided that the temperature remains constant.

P\alpha \frac{1}{V}\\hence\\PV=constant

This implies the following;

P_1V_1=P_2V_2=...=P_nV_n............(1) Provided temperature is kept constant.

Given;

P_1=1.5atm\\V_1=5.6L\\P_2=?\\V_2=4.8L

From equation (1), we can write;

P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\hence\\1.5*5.6=P_2*4.8\\\\P_2=\frac{1.5*5.6}{4.8}\\\\P_2=1.75atm

Since all the units are consistent, there is no need for conversion.

The earth rotates about its pole once every 24 hrs. The distance from the pole to a location on the Earth is 35* north latitude
Oksana_A [137]
The angular velocity, ω= 
2π/t; t = 24 hrs = 24 x 3600 seconds = 86400 s
ω = 7.27 x 10⁻⁵
v = ωr
= 7.27 x 10⁻⁵ x 3242.8 x 1.6 x 1000 (converting miles to meters)
= 377.2 m/s

An unknown substance has a mass of 15 g and a volume of 4 cm3. Calculate the density of the unknown substance.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Density is 3.75g/cm3

Explanation:

Density = mass ÷ volume

= 15g ÷ 4cm3

= 3.75g/cm3
