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

where h = Planck's constant = 6.63 * 10⁻³⁴ Js,  m = mass in kg,  v = velocity in m/s.
m = 1kg,  v = 4.5 m/s

λ = h / mv

λ = (6.63 * 10⁻³⁴) /(1*4.5)

λ ≈  1.473 * 10⁻³⁴  m

a runner covers the last straight stretch of the race in 4 s. durning that time, he speeds up from 5 m/s to 9m/s what is the run
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The runner's acceleration was 1\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

v_f=v_o+at

Solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The runner speeds up from vo=5 m/s to vf=9 m/s in t=4 seconds, thus:

\displaystyle a=\frac{9-5}{4}

\displaystyle a=\frac{4}{4}=1

The runner's acceleration was 1\ m/s^2

Greeley [361]

Answer:

c) L³/T³

Explanation:

If t stands for time, the units are:

(V) = L³, (t) = T

The units for the equation:

V(t) = At³

must be:

L^{3} = \frac{L^{3} }{T^{3}} T^{3}
