As per the question the car has a mass of 12,00 kg.
The engine exerts a force of 600 N. [ here newton i.e N is the unit of force]
We are asked to calculate the acceleration of the particle .
From Newton's second law of motion we know that force acting on a particle is mass times the acceleration of the particle . Mathematically it can be written as-
F = ma [Here F is the applied force,m is the mass which is constant here and ' a' is the acceleration]
Here m =1200 kg
F = 600 N
Hence the acceleration produced due to the force exerted by the engine on car is-
[ans]
Answer:
The correct question is:
"Find the energy each gains"
The energy gained by a charged particle accelerated through a potential difference is given by
where
q is the charge of the particle
is the potential difference
For a proton,
And since
The energy gained by the proton is
For an alpha particle,
Therefore, the energy gained is
Finally, for a singly ionized helium nucleus (a helium nucleus that has lost one electron)
So the energy gained is the same as the proton:
