1. I think it's the trails left by an electron as it moves around the nucleus.
2. The atomic number is the number of protons so it is 8.
3. It's mass is lowered but it is still the same element.
<h2>Answer: electrostatic and gravitational force
</h2><h2 />
Mechanical energy remains constant (conserved) if only <u>conservative forces</u> act on the particles.
In this sense, the following forces are conservative:
-Gravitational
-Elastic
-Electrostatics
While the Friction Force and the Magnetic Force are not conservative.
According to this, mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of electrostatic and gravitational forces.
Answer:
Speed = 575 m/s
Mechanical energy is conserved in electrostatic, magnetic and gravitational forces.
Explanation:
Given :
Potential difference, U = 
Mass of the alpha particle, 
Charge of the alpha particle is, 
So the potential difference for the alpha particle when it is accelerated through the potential difference is
And the kinetic energy gained by the alpha particle is
From the law of conservation of energy, we get
The mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of the following conservative forces :
-- electrostatic forces
-- magnetic forces
-- gravitational forces
Observe that the object below moves in the negative direction with a changing velocity. An object which moves in the negative direction has a negative velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a positive acceleration). The dot diagram shows that each consecutive dot is not the same distance apart (i.e., a changing velocity). The position-time graph shows that the slope is changing (meaning a changing velocity) and negative (meaning a negative velocity). The velocity-time graph shows a line with a positive (upward) slope (meaning that there is a positive acceleration); the line is located in the negative region of the graph (corresponding to a negative velocity). The acceleration-time graph shows a horizontal line in the positive region of the graph (meaning a positive acceleration).
I don't know how I can show you the figure
