<em>Alpha radiation:</em>  Particles.  Each alpha particle is a little bundle of 2 protons and 2 neutrons ... identical to the nucleus of a Helium atom.

Charge  . . . +2 elementary charges

Mass  . . . 4 Atomic Mass Units

Relative penetrating power  . . . low

The effect an electric field would have on it . . . Since the alpha particle has a positive charge, it's repelled by other positive charges, and attracted toward negative charges.

<em>Beta radiation</em>:  Particles.  Each beta particle is an electron.

Charge  . . . -1 elementary charge

Mass  . . . 0.00055 AMU

Relative penetrating power  . . . medium

The effect an electric field would have on it . . .  repelled by other negative charges, and attracted toward positive charges.

<em>Gamma radiation</em>:  electromagnetic wave, verrrrry short wave, high frequency

Charge . . . electromagnetic wave, no charge

Mass  . . . electromagnetic wave, no mass

Relative penetrating power  . . . high

The effect an electric field would have on it . . . electromagnetic wave, no effect

Photoelectrons with a maximum speed of 8.00 • 106 m/sec are ejected froma surface in the presence of light with a frequency of 6
Andru [333]

The kinetic energy is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

We know the mass and the maximum speed, plugging their values in the expression above we have:

\begin{gathered} K=\frac{1}{2}(9.1\times10^{-31})(8\times10^6)^2 \\ K=2.91\times10^{-17}\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is d.

A box is being moved with a velocity (v) by a force P (parallel to v) along a level horizontal floor. The normal force is (Fn),
labwork [276]

Answer:

Force (P) : Positive

Normal Force (Fn) : Zero

Weight (mg) : Zero

Kinetic Frictional Force (fk) : Negative

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by the following formula:

W = F.d

W = F d Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done

f = Force Applied

d = displacement

θ = Angle between force and displacement

<u>FOR FORCE (P)</u>:

Since, force P is parallel to the motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 0°

Hence,

W = P d Cos 0°

W = P d(1)

W = Pd

<u>Therefore, work done by force (P) is Positive.</u>

<u></u>

<u>FOR NORMAL FORCE (Fn) AND WEIGHT (W)</u>:

Since, normal force and weight are perpendicular to the motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 90°

Hence,

W = Fn d Cos 90°= mg d Cos 90°

W = Fn d(0) = mg d (0)

W = 0

<u>Therefore, work done by Normal Force (Fn) and Weight (mg) is Zero.</u>

<u></u>

<u>FOR KINETIC FRICTIONAL FORCE (fk)</u>:

Since, kinetic frictional force acts in the opposite direction of motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 180°

Hence,

W = fk d Cos 180°

W = fk d(-1)

W = -fk d

<u>Therefore, work done by Kinetic Frictional Force (fk) is Negative.</u>

<u></u>
