Find the ratio of speeds of a proton and an alpha particle accelerated through the same voltage, assuming nonrelativistic final

speeds. Take the mass of the alpha particle to be 6.64 ✕ 10−27 kg.

Answer:

The required ratio is 1.99.

Explanation:

We need to find the atio of speeds of a proton and an alpha particle accelerated through the same voltage.

We know that,

eV=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

The LHS for both proton and an alpha particle is the same.

So,

\dfrac{v_p}{v_a}=\sqrt{\dfrac{m_a}{m_p}} \\\\\dfrac{v_p}{v_a}=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.64\times 10^{-27}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}} \\\\=1.99

So, the ratio of the speeds of a proton and an alpha particle is equal to 1.99.

A car travels in a straight line covering a total distance of 90.0 miles in 60.0 minutes. Which one of the following statements
andrezito [222]

Answer:

E) The average velocity of the car is 90.0 miles per hour in the direction of motion.

Explanation:

Given;

distance covered by the car, d = 90 miles

time taken, t = 60 minutes = 1 hour

The average velocity of the car is given by change in displacement per change in time;

V = Δd / Δt

V = \frac{x_f - x_o}{t_f -t_o} = \frac{90-0}{1-0} \\\\V = 90 \ miles/hour

Therefore, the average velocity of the car is 90.0 miles per hour in the direction of motion.

What is the iron (ll) ion? How does it differ from the iron (lll) ion?
DaniilM [7]
Iron III ion is an iron ion with a +3 charge. If iron bonded with oxygen, it would form Fe2O3 which is rust. In this case, the oxidation number on Fe is +3 and it is -2 on oxygen. This would be called iron (III) oxide. 

<span>The oxidation number of an ion times the number of the ions must equal zero when added together in a molecule with no charge. In this case, there are 2 iron molecules and each has a positive 3 charge. 2x3=6. There are three oxygen molecules each with a negative 2 charge. 3x-2=-6. 6+-6=0</span>

Which of the following statements is true regarding electromagnetic waves traveling through a vacuum?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

C. All waves have the same speed.

Explanation:

Wave equation is given as;

V = fλ

where;

V is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

λ is the wavelength

The speed of the wave depends on both wavelength and frequency

The speed of the electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is 3 x 10⁸ m/s, this also the speed of light which is constant for all electromagnetic waves.

Therefore, the correct option is "C"

C. All waves have the same speed.
