An 'alpha particle' is the same thing as the nucleus of a helium atom ...
a little bundle made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
A 'beta' particle is an electron.
The mass of an alpha particle is more than 7,000 times the mass of
an electron, so it certainly takes more energy to get it moving.
Answer:
1.24611
Explanation:
V = Velocity = 10 ft/s
L = Length = 2 ft
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²
Froude number is given by
Converting to SI units
The Froude number is 1.24611
The Froude number is equal. The Froude number is dimensionless as the units cancel each other. In order for this to happen the units used need to be consitent either imperial or SI.
Answer:
Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory
Explanation:
a)
- A electric field line is an imaginary line, which has the property that the electric field vector is tangent to it at any point. It starts from positive charges (since the electric field by convention it has the direction of the trajectory that would take a positive test charge, so it always goes away from positive charges) and ends in negative charges.
b)
- Since the potential difference between two points represents the work per unit charge needed for a charge to move between these points, a equipotential surface is the one over which it is not needed to do work to move a charge from any point on the surface to any other point, which means that all points are at the same potential.
c)
- Equipotential surfaces are not necessarily physical surfaces, they can be defined in vaccum for instance.
- As an example, any spherical surface concentric with a point charge, is an equipotential surface, and it can be a real surface or a fictitious one.
