Heat flows from one object to another by conduction, convection or radiation, depending on the physical state of the medium through which it must flow. Heat always flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature. Without a temperature difference, there can be no heat flow.

It is known that the gravitational force of attraction between two alpha particles is much weaker than the electrical repulsion.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The ratio of gravitational force to electrical force is 3.19 x 10^-36

Explanation:

mass of an alpha particle = 6.64 x $10^{-27}$ kg

charge on an alpha particle = +2e = +2(1.6 x $10^{-19}$ C) = 3.2 x $10^{-19}$ C

distance between particles = d

For gravitational attraction:

The force of gravitational attraction F = $\frac{Gm^{2} }{r^{2} }$

where G = gravitational constant = 6.67 x $10^{-11}$ m^3 kg^-1 s^-2

r = the distance between the particles = d

m = the mass of each particle

therefore, gravitational force = $\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*(6.64*10^{-27} )^{2} }{d^{2} }$ = $\frac{2.94*10^{-63} }{d^{2} }$ Newton

For electrical repulsion:

Electrical force between the particles = $\frac{-kQ^{2} }{r^{2} }$

where k is the Coulomb's constant = 9.0 x $10^{9}$ N•m^2/C^2

r = distance between the particles = d

Q = charge on each particle

therefore, electrical force = $\frac{-9*10^{9}*(3.2*10^{-19} )^{2} }{d^{2} }$ = $\frac{-9.216*10^{-28} }{d^{2} }$ Newton

the negative sign implies that there is a repulsion on the particles due to their like charges.

Ratio of the magnitude of gravitation to electrical force = $\frac{2.94*10^{-63} }{9.216*10^{-28} }$

==> 3.19 x 10^-36

Why are some atoms radioactive

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Atoms are made of three types of sub-atomic particle: neutrons and protons in the nucleus and electrons orbiting the nucleus. Some materials are radioactive because the nucleus of each atom is unstable and gives out nuclear radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles or gamma rays.

Light in vacuum travels at a speed of 3.00 x 10^8 m ^-1 s^-1 on average earth is 93,000,000 miles from the sun how many minutes

NemiM [27]

The correct unit for the speed of light is [ m s⁻¹ ].

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (9.3 x 10^7 miles) x (1609 m/mile) / (3 x 10^8 m/s) = 498.8 seconds .

That would be 8.31 minutes.
