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

Might it be possible to explain the interaction of the rod and pieces of paper as a gravitational interaction? please explain wh
mina [271]

It is not possible  to explain the interaction of the rod and pieces of paper as a gravitational interaction.

<h3>What is Gravitational interaction?</h3>

This is defined as the interaction between a particle or body resulting from their mass. This type of interaction is usually weak and occurs in all distances possible.

It is not gravitational interaction, because the rod attracts paper only against the gravitational force of the earth and there is no attraction between both bodies under a different condition.

This is therefore the reason why it is not possible to explain the interaction of the rod and pieces of paper as a gravitational interaction.

Sam is observing the velocity of a car at different times. After three hours, the velocity of the car is 53 km/h. After six hour
Serhud [2]
For the answer to the question above, first find out the gradient. 

<span>m = rise/run </span>
<span>=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) </span>

<span>the x's and y's are the points given: "After three hours, the velocity of the car is 53 km/h. After six hours, the velocity of the car is 62 km/h" </span>
<span>(x1,y1) = (3,53) </span>
<span>(x2,y2) = (6,62) </span>

<span>sub values back into the equation </span>
<span>m = (62-53)/(6-3) </span>
<span>m = 9/3 </span>
<span>m = 3 </span>

<span>now we use a point-slope form to find the the standard form </span>
<span>y-y1 = m(x-x1) </span>
<span>where x1 and y1 are any set of point given </span>
<span>y-53 = 3(x-3) </span>
<span>y-53 = 3x - 9 </span>
<span>y = 3x - 9 + 53 </span>
<span>y = 3x + 44 </span>

<span>y is the velocity of the car, x is the time.
</span>I hope this helps.

A mass of 0.30kg is attached to a spring and is set into motion with a period of 0.24s. what is the spring constant of the sprin
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The spring constant of the spring is 205.42 N/m.

Explanation:

Springs have their own natural "spring constants" that define how stiff they are. The letter k is used for the spring constant, and it has the units N/m.

                                                         k = -F/x

The period of a spring-mass system is proportional to the square root of the mass and inversely proportional to the square root of the spring constant.

Given:

mass of object in SHM = m = 0.30 kg

Time period of the spring mass system = 0.24s

Spring constant = k ?

Finding 'k' using Time period 'T':

We know that
