he nucleus of 8Be, which consists of 4 protons and 4 neutrons, is very unstable and spontaneously breaks into two alpha particle

s (helium nuclei, each consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons). (a) What is the force between the two alpha particles when they are 6.60 ✕ 10−15 m apart? N (b) What is the initial magnitude of the acceleration of the alpha particles due to this force? Note that the mass of an alpha particle is 4.0026 u. m/s2

Answer:

A) F = 21.134 N

B) a = 3180.76 × 10^(24) m/s²

Explanation:

A) We are given;

Mass of alpha particle; m = 4.0026 u

Now, 1u = 1.66 × 10^(-27) kg

Thus; m = 4.0026 × 1.66 × 10^(-27)

Distance apart; r = 6.60 × 10^(−15) m

Charge on the alpha particle is;

q = 2e = 2 × 1.6 × 10^(-19) C

Formula for the force between the two alpha particles is;

F = kq1.q2/r²

k = 8.99 × 10^(9) N.m²/C²

q1 = q2 = 2 × 1.6 × 10^(-19) C

F = 8.99 × 10^(9) × (2 × 1.6 × 10^(-19))²/(6.60 × 10^(−15))²

F = 21.134 N

B) acceleration is given by;

a = F/m

Thus; a = 21.134/(4.0026 × 1.66 × 10^(-27))

a = 3180.76 × 10^(24) m/s²

As a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by the
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

a

   a =  12.32 \  m/s^2

b

 F = 1017.52 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  length of the Chinook salmon is  l =  1.50 \  m

   The mass of the Chinook salmon is m  =  46.0 \ kg

   The  upward velocity in water is  u =  3.00 \ m/s

    The  upward velocity in air is v =  5.80 \ m/s

   

Generally from kinematic equations

     v^2  =  u^2 +  2as

=>    5.80^2  =  3.00^2 +  2  *  a *  [ [\frac{2}{3} * l ]

=>   5.80^2  =  3.00^2 +  2  *  a *  [ [\frac{2}{3} * 1.5 ]

=>   5.80^2  =  3.00^2 +  2  *  a *  [1 ]      

=>    a =  12.32 \  m/s^2

Generally magnitude of the force F during this interval in N  is mathematically represented as

      F  =  m (a + g )

=>    F  =  46.0 (12.32 + 9.8 )

=>    F = 1017.52 \  N

A solid conducting sphere has net positive charge and radiusR = 0.600 m . At a point 1.20 m from the center of the sphere, the e
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

  V_inside = 36 V

Explanation:

<u>Given  </u>

We are given a sphere with a positive charge q with radius R = 0.400 m Also, the potential due to this charge at distance r = 1.20 m is V = 24.0 V.  

<u>Required</u>

We are asked to calculate the potential at the centre of the sphere  

<u>Solution</u>

The potential energy due to the sphere is given by equation

V = (1/4*π*∈o) × (q/r)                                          (1)

Where r is the distance where the potential is measured, it may be inside the sphere or outside the sphere. As shown by equation (1) the potential inversely proportional to the distance V  

V ∝ 1/r

The potential at the centre of the sphere depends on the radius R where the potential is the same for the entire sphere. As the charge q is the same and the term (1/4*π*∈o) is constant we could express a relation between the states , e inside the sphere and outside the sphere as next

V_1/V_2=r_2/r_1

V_inside/V_outside = r/R

V_inside = (r/R)*V_outside                               (2)

Now we can plug our values for r, R and V_outside into equation (2) to get  V_inside

V_inside = (1.2 m )/(0.600)*18

               = 36 V

  V_inside = 36 V

A 120.0 kg crate is placed on a 15.00°
Citrus2011 [14]

F = 2820.1 N

Explanation:

Let the (+)x-axis be up along the slope. The component of the weight of the crate along the slope is -mgsin15° (pointing down the slope). The force that keeps the crate from sliding is F. Therefore, we can write Newton's 2nd law along the x-axis as

Fnet = ma = 0 (a = 0 no sliding)

= F - mgsin15°

= 0

or

F = mgsin15°

= (120 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)sin15°

= 2820.1 N

Bingel [31]

Explanation:

A sound wave is often called a pressure wave because there are regions of high and low pressure established in them medium through which the sound wave travels. The regions of high pressure are known as <u>Compressions</u> and the regions of low pressure are known as <u>Rarefactions</u> . Sound waves are composed of compressions and rarefactions. Compressions are the parts where the molecules are congusted and pressed together. However in the rarefactions molecules are relax and have enough space for expansion. Sound waves are the logitudnal waves and always been defined as the motion of the medium particles parallel to the wave motion.
