Answer:

\Delta V    = 1.8 \times 10^7 V

Explanation:

GIVEN

diameter = 15 fm  =15 \times 10^{-15}m

we use here energy conservation

K_{i}+U_{i} =K_{f}+U_{f}

there will be some initial kinetic  energy but after collision kinetic energy will zero

K_{i} + 0 = 0 + \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _{0}} \frac{(2e)(92e)}{7.5 \times 10^{-15}}

on solving these equations we get kinetic energy initial

KE_{i} = 5.65\times 10 ^{-12} \times \frac  {1 eV}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

KE_{i} = 35.33 J ..............(i)

That is, the alpha particle must be fired with 35.33 MeV of kinetic energy. An alpha particle with charge q = 2  e

and gains kinetic energy K  =e∆V  ..........(ii)

 by accelerating through a potential difference ∆V

Thus the alpha particle will

just reach the {238}_U nucleus after being accelerated through a potential difference  ∆V

equating (i) and second equation we get

e∆V  = 35.33 Me V

\Delta V = \frac{35.33}{2}  MV\\\Delta V    = 1.8 \times 10^7 V

When an object is moving to the left and slowing down, what direction is the acceleration?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

According to our principle, when an object is slowing down, the acceleration is in the opposite direction as the velocity. Thus, this object has a negative acceleration. In Example D, the object is moving in the negative direction (i.e., has a negative velocity) and is speeding up.
