As per energy conservation we know that the electrostatic potential energy of the charge system is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the alpha particle

So here we can write it as

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{k(2e)(ze)}{r}$

now we know that

$m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg$

$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

z = 79

here kinetic energy of the incident alpha particle is given as

$KE = 6.4 \times 10^{-13} J$

now we have

$6.4 \times 10^{-13} = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})^2(79)}{r}$

now we have

$r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m$

A bicycle has a momentum of 23.4

Snowcat [4.5K]

Momentum=23.4kgm/s
Velocity=2m/s

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Momentum=Mass\times velocity$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Mass=\dfrac{Momentum}{Velocity}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Mass=\dfrac{23.4}{2}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Mass=11.7kg$

What is the difference between absolute strength and relative strength? absolute strength is the type of strength the average pe

Orlov [11]

Absolute strength measures strength adjusted for your body size, while relative strength measurses maximum strength exerted in a single effort. Hopefully that helps wasn't really sure what you were asking seemed like you had answered your own question.
