An alpha particle (α), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elec

tric field. The particle then begins to move. Find the speed of the alpha particle after it has moved through a potential difference of â3.45Ã10^â3 V .The charge and the mass of an alpha particle are qα = 3.20Ã10^â19 C and mα = 6.68Ã10â27 kg , respectively.
Mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of which of the following types of forces?

a. electrostatic
b. frictional
c. magnetic
d. gravitational

Answer:

Speed = 575 m/s

Mechanical energy is conserved in electrostatic, magnetic and gravitational forces.

Explanation:

Given :

Potential difference, U = $-3.45 \times 10^{-3} \ V$

Mass of the alpha particle, $m_{\alpha} = 6.68 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$

Charge of the alpha particle is, $q_{\alpha} = 3.20 \times 10^{-19} \ C$

So the potential difference for the alpha particle when it is accelerated through the potential difference is

$U=\Delta Vq_{\alpha}$

And the kinetic energy gained by the alpha particle is

$K.E. =\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2 $

From the law of conservation of energy, we get

$K.E. = U$

$\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2 = \Delta V q_{\alpha}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta V q_{\alpha}}{m_{\alpha}}}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2(3.45 \times 10^{-3 })(3.2 \times 10^{-19})}{6.68 \times 10^{-27}}}$

$v_{\alpha} \approx 575 \ m/s$

The mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of the following conservative forces :

-- electrostatic forces

-- magnetic forces

-- gravitational forces

Joey is riding in an elevator which is accelerating upwards at 2.0 m/s2. The elevator weighs 300.0 kg, and Joey weighs 60.0 kg.
vodka [1.7K]

4200 N  is the tension in the cable that pulls the elevator upwards.

The correct option is A.

<h3>What does tension ?</h3>

Tension is the force that is sent through a rope, thread, or wire whenever two opposing forces pull on it. Along the whole length of the wire, the tensile stress pulls equally on all objects at the ends. Every physical object that comes into contact with that other one exerts force on it.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

We employ the following formula to determine the cable's tension.

Formula:

T = mg+ma............ Equation 1

Where:

T is the cable's tension.

M = Mass of the elevator and the Joey

Accelerating with a

g = Gravitational acceleration

Considering the query,

Given:

m = (300+60) = 360 kg

a = 2 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

T = (360×9.8)+(360×2)

T = 3528+720

T = 4248 N

T ≈ 4200 to the nearest hundred.

A physics student stands on the rim of the canyon and drops a rock. The student measures the time for it to reach the bottom to
zysi [14]

Answer:

50.2 m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the following SUVAT equation for the vertical position of the rock:

y(t)=h+ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h is the initial height (the depth of the canyon), taking the bottom of the canyon as reference position

u = 0 is the initial velocity of the rock

t is the time

g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

When the rock reaches the bottom, t = 3.2 s and y = 0. Substituting these numbers and solving for h, we find the depth of the canyon:

h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2 = -\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(3.2)^2=50.2 m
