Very very very high pressures, very etc high temperatures, varying degrees of "carbon purity" and a long time make diamonds diamonds. Minerals ? Well, every so often, should you be lucky, or live in South Africa you might come across one. (Let me know if you do).

The gravitational field is the Force divided by the mass

Call g the gravitational fiel, F the force exerted by the earth and m the mass of the telescope.

g = F / m

g=9.1x10^4 N / 1.1 x 10^4 kg = 8.27 N/kg

Note that the unit N/kg is equivalent to m/s^2

In the form of radioactive decay known as alpha decay, an unstable nucleus emits a helium-atom nucleus, which is called an alpha

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Velocity will be $v=4.06\times10^7m/sec$

Explanation:

We have given mass of alpha particle m = 4 u $=4\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}kg=6.68\times 10^{-27}kg$

Charge on alpha particle $q=2e=2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C=3.2\times 10^{-19}C$

Charge on thorium particle $=90\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=144\times 10^{-19}C$

Diameter is given as d = 15 fm

So radius $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{15}{2}=7.5fm=7.5\times 10^{-15}m$

Potential energy is given by $E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r}=\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 144\times 10^{-19}\times 3.2\times 10^{-19}}{7.5\times 10^{-15}}=5.529\times 10^{-12}J$
