An alpha particle (a helium nucleus, consisting of two protons and two neutrons) has a radius of approximately 1.6 × 10-15 m. A
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p is the product of mass and velocity, i.e

P = mv

Alpha particles, like helium nuclei, have a net spin of zero. Due to the mechanism of their production in standard alpha radioactive decay, alpha particles generally have a kinetic energy of about 5 MeV, and a velocity in the vicinity of 5% the speed of light.

From this we calculate the speed as

v = 5% 0f 3x10^8 m/s (speed of light)

v = 1.5x10^7 m/s

The mass of an alpha particle is approximately 6.64×10−27 kg

Therefore,

P = 1.5x10^7 x 6.64×10^−27

P = 9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

Some one help my science homework is due tomorrow and I'm so stuck with question 8-9, and 11-12
yuradex [85]
Off the top of my head, I only know 9 and 11, so I'll answer those two.

9) A heterotroph is an organism that relies on other organisms for food/energy
    An autotroph can produce its own food from inorganic compounds (light)

11) Vascular plants have specialized tubes for transporting nutrients
      Nonvascular plants do not have such tubes and are simpler
