<u>Answer:</u> The velocity of released alpha particle is 1.127\times 10^7m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to law of conservation of momentum, momentum can neither be created nor be destroyed until and unless, an external force is applied.

For a system:

m_1v_1=m_2v_2

where,

m_1\text{ and }v_1 = Initial mass and velocity

m_2\text{ and }v_2 = Final mass and velocity

We are given:

m_1=238u\\v_1=1.895\times 10^{5}m/s\\m_2=4u\text{ (Mass of }\alpha \text{ -particle)}\\v_2=?m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

238\times 1.895\times 10^5=4\times v_2\\\\v_2=\frac{238\times 1.895\times 10^5}{4}=1.127\times 10^7m/s

Hence, the velocity of released alpha particle is 1.127\times 10^7m/s

A parcel of land is in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The base has a length of 425 ft.; the other sides, which are of equal
kogti [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 636.6 ft    

Explanation:

Data

base = 425 ft

angle = 39°

See the picture below

1.- Divide the triangle to get two right triangles.

    Now the superior angle will measure 19.5° and the opposite side will measure 212.5 ft

2.- Use the trigonometric function sine to find the hypotenuse

     sin 19.5 = 212.5/hyp

solve for hyp

    hyp = 212.5 / sin 19.5

Result

    hyp = 212.5/ 0.333

    hyp = 636.6 ft

A uniform rod of length L is pivoted at L/4 from one end. It is pulled to one side through a very small angle and allowed to osc
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

T= 4.24sec

Explanation:

We are going to use the formula below to calculate.

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

Where T is period

           L is length of rod

       g is acceleration due to gravity =     9.8m/s^{2}

From the problem, the rod is pivoted at 1/4L which means that three quarter of the rod was used for the oscillation. lets call this L_{O}

L_{O} = 3/4 * 5.95m

        = 4.4625m

thus   T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_{O} }{g} }

          T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{4.4625 }{9.8} }

          T= 4.24sec

In an experiment refractive index of glass was observed to be 1.45,1.56,1.54,1.44,1.54and1.53. Calculate mean value of refractiv
Sever21 [200]
The mean may be calculated by summing the values of the refractive index and dividing the sum by the number of experiments. This is:
Mean = (1.45 + 1.56 + 1.54 + 1.44 + 1.54 + 1.53)/6
Mean = 1.51

The mean absolute error is the sum of the absolute values of errors divided by the number of trials:
MAE = (|1.45-1.51|+|1.56-1.51|+|1.54-1.51|+|1.44-1.51|+|1.54-1.51|+|1.53-1.51|)/6
MAE = 0.043

The fractional error is the MAE divided by the actual value:
Fractional error = 0.043 / 1.51
Fractional error = 43/1510

The percentage error is the fractional error multiplied by 100:
Percentage error = 2.85%
