An alpha particle (α), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elect

ric field. The particle then begins to move. Find the speed of the alpha particle after it has moved through a potential difference of −3.45×10⁻³ V . The charge and the mass of an alpha particle are α = 3.20×10⁻¹⁹ C and mα = 6.68×10⁻²⁷ kg , respectively.

Answer:

Speed of the alpha particle is v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec      

Explanation:

We have given charge on alpha particle q=3.2\times 10^{-19}C

Mass of the alpha particle m=6.68\times 10^{-27}kg

Potential difference V=-3.45\times 10^{-3}volt

We have to find the speed of the alpha particle

From energy conservation we know that

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

\frac{1}{2}\times 6.68\times 10^{-27}\times v^2=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 3.45\times 10^{-3}

v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec

Complete Question: A charge q1 = 2.2 uC is at a distance d= 1.63m from a second charge q2= -5.67 uC. (b) Find a point between the two charges on the horizontal line where the electric potential is zero. (Enter your answer as measured from q1.)

Answer:

d= 0.46 m

Explanation:

The electric potential is defined as the work needed, per unit charge, to bring a positive test charge from infinity to the point of interest.

For a point charge, the electric potential, at a distance r from it, according to Coulomb´s Law and the definition of potential, can be expressed as follows:

V = \frac{k*q}{r}

We have two charges, q₁ and q₂, and we need to find a point between them, where the electric potential due to them, be zero.

If we call x to the distance from q₁, the distance from q₂, will be the distance between both charges, minus x.

So, we can find the value of x, adding the potentials due to q₁ and q₂, in such a way that both add to zero:

V = \frac{k*q1}{x} +\frac{k*q2}{(1.63m-x)} = 0

⇒k*q1* (1.63m - x) = -k*q2*x:

Replacing by the values of q1, q2, and k, and solving for x, we get:

⇒ x = (2.22 μC* 1.63 m) / 7.89 μC = 0.46 m from q1.

Komok [63]
What happens is the potential value of the conductor decreases due to the presence of second conductor
as the capacitance is given by C = q/v
the value of v deceases as v-v1
thus the new capacitance is = C' = q/v-v1 thus the lowering of v increases the capacitance

A jeweler working with a heated 47 g gold ring must lower the ring's temperature to make it safe to handle. If the ring is initi
Gelneren [198K]

Mass of gold m₁ = 47 g

Initial temperature of gold T₁ = 99 C

Specific heat of gold C₁ = 0.129 J/gC

final temperature T₂ = 38 C

Heat needed by the gold to cool down

Q =m₁ * C₁* ( T₁ - T₂)

Q = (47)(0.129)(99-38)

Q = 369.843 J

This heat will be given by the water

we need to find out mass of water m₂

and initial temperature of water is T₃ = 25 C

Specific heat of water C₂ = 4.184 J/gC

Q = m₂*C₂*(T₂ - T₃)

369.843 = m₂(4.184)(38-25)

m₂ = 6.8 g
