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

ale4655 [162]
<span>An object is acted upon by a force of 22 newtons to the right and a force of 13 newtons to the left.

(1)  22 N to the right
(2) 13 N to the left.

magnitude = 22 - 13
magnitude = 9

Direction would be to the right.

So magnitude is 9N direction to the right.</span>

Help me please :(((((((
Dimas [21]

Answer: A.

Explanation: Roughly 180 - 200 million years ago, just before the first dinosaurs evolved. Mammals themselves evolved from a group or reptiles which exhibited mammal-like traits. One of them was specialized teeth. Reptiles tend to have teeth all the same shape. The mammal-like reptiles evolved tiny teeth in front of the jaw and two pairs of over sized fangs along the the sides. Like modern mammals, the head was large in proportion to the rest of the body. The jaws were also evolving another mammal trait, the ability to move sideways. Despite the lack of specialized teeth, acute hearing and the ability to chew, the dinosaurs evolved an adaptation which made them far more successful than mammals--modified leg bones. These limbs could be articulated directly under their bodies. This enabled the legs to support more weight, since the limbs were now under the body instead of at the sides. Then dinosaurs did something which secured their dominance for the next 120 million years - they began to stand on two legs. Although the back was still parallel to the ground, running on two legs greatly increased the dinosaur's speed. Mammals could simply not compete with swift, giant predators and were forced to remain small, and most became nocturnal to evade dinosaurs which were probably active during the day. Despite that they managed to survive which allowed the further evolution of mammals into us, humans.

Which variety of moth, C or Y, is more likely to be killed by insect eating birds?
Svetlanka [38]
Moth X is more likely to be eaten by insect killing birds first. This is because Moth Y blends in with the tree trunk more and is hidden from birds. Its wings camouflage with the tree trunk, hiding it from sight.
