An alpha particle (which has two protons) is sent directly toward a target nucleus with 90 protons. the alpha particle has a kin

etic energy of 0.45 pj when far away. what is the least center-to-center distance that the alpha particle will be from the target nucleus, assuming that the nucleus does not move?

It does not move because of the sun the sun has no energy.

A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 115 kg and a radius of 2.50 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.520 rev

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

$W_f = 2.319 rad/s$

Explanation:

For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum.

$L_i = L_f$

so:

$I_mW_m = I_sW_f$

where $I_m$ is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, $W_m$ is the initial angular velocity of the merry-go-round, $I_s$ is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round and the child together and $W_f$ is the final angular velocity.

First, we will find the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round using:

I = $\frac{1}{2}M_mR^2$

I = $\frac{1}{2}(115 kg)(2.5m)^2$

I = 359.375 kg*m^2

Where $M_m$ is the mass and R is the radio of the merry-go-round

Second, we will change the initial angular velocity to rad/s as:

W = 0.520*2 $\pi$ rad/s

W = 3.2672 rad/s

Third, we will find the moment of inertia of both after the collision:

$I_s = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2+mR^2$

$I_s = \frac{1}{2}(115kg)(2.5m)^2+(23.5kg)(2.5m)^2$

$I_s = 506.25kg*m^2$

Finally we replace all the data:

$(359.375)(3.2672) = (506.25)W_f$

Solving for $W_f$ :

$W_f = 2.319 rad/s$

Why is it important to select a coordinate system when studying motion?

kvv77 [185]

Motion is detected when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point. Coordinate system is basically used to represent motion. A coordinate system uses numbers or coordinates which represent position of the reference points on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. The trajectory of a point or line can be studied on a coordinate system which describes various aspects of motion like velocity, acceleration, distance, displacement etc. Coordinate system is important because it helps to choose a starting point and the direction (which will be positive).

A rope passes over a fixed sheave with both ends hanging straight down. The coefficient of friction between the rope and sheave

Oliga [24]

Answer:3.51

Explanation:

Given

Coefficient of Friction $\mu =0.4$

Consider a small element at an angle \theta having an angle of $d\theta$

Normal Force $=T\times \frac{d\theta }{2}+(T+dT)\cdot \frac{d\theta }{2}$

$N=T\cdot d\theta$

Friction $f=\mu \times Normal\ Reaction$

$f=\mu \cdot N$

and $T+dT-T=f=\mu Td\theta$

$dT=\mu Td\theta$

$\frac{dT}{T}=\mu d\theta$

$\int_{T_2}^{T_1}\frac{dT}{T}=\int_{0}^{\pi }\mu d\theta$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{\mu \pi}$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{0.4\times \pi }$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}==e^{1.256}$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=3.51$
