What is the speed of alpha rays, beta rays and gamma rays ?

Physics
1 answer:
Leya [2.2K]3 years ago
5 0
Alpha particles are released by proton rich unstable nuclei. It has no electrons to balance the protons making it positively charged particles moving at very high speeds. Gamma articles are electromagnetic waves of short wavelength and high frequency. It has a speed same as the speed of light. Beta particles are released by neutron rich unstable nuclei. It has a speed of less than the gamma particles.

An electron is traveling with initial kinetic energy K in a uniform electric field. The electron comes to rest momentarily after
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

E=\frac{K}{ed}

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial kinetic energy of an electron=K

Distance=d

Final velocity=v=0

Charge,q=-1e

We have to find the magnitude of electric field.

Work done=Force\times displacement

Using the formula

Work done=qE\times d=-eEd

Using work energy theorem

Work done=Final K.E-Initial K.E=0-K

Work done=-K

Substitute the values

-K=-eEd

K=eEd

E=\frac{K}{ed}

Hence, the magnitude of the electric field=E=\frac{K}{ed}

A car is moving at 20 m/s. The driver steps on the gas pedal and accelerates the car for 4 seconds at an acceleration of 4 m/s2.
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The final velocity of the car is 36 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the car, u = 20 m/s

time of the car acceleration, t = 4 s

acceleration of the car, a = 4 m/s²

the final velocity of the car is calculated as;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity of the car

v = 20 + (4 x 4)

v = 36 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 36 m/s.

Which of the following describes the charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred?
gregori [183]

The answer is neutral charge. An atom element will always and has to be stable, in order for this state to happen. The charge of an electron has to be neutral. For atom with neutral charge, the proton will always equal the number of electron.

A car of mass 1800 kg can be just be lifted. What is the least force that the electromagnet must use to lift the car? (1 g = 10
Doss [256]

Answer:

<h2>f=a×m</h2>

m=1800kg

1800000g×10N/kg

18000000N force is required to life the car
