The kinetic energy of a proton and that of an a-particle are 4 eV and 1 eV,
madam [21]

Answer:

  • <u><em>(b) 1:1</em></u>

Explanation:

<u></u>

<u>1. Formulae:</u>

  • E = hf  
  • E = h.v/λ
  • λ = h/(mv)
  • E = (1/2)mv²

Where:

  • E = kinetic energy of the particle
  • λ = de-Broglie wavelength
  • m = mass of the particle
  • v = speed of the particle
  • h = Planck constant

<u><em>2. Reasoning</em></u>

An alha particle contains 2 neutrons and 2 protons, thus its mass number is 4.

A proton has mass number 1.

Thus, the relative masses of an alpha particle and a proton are:

       \dfrac{m_\alpha}{m_p}=4

For the kinetic energies you find:

          \dfrac{E_\alpha}{E_p}=\dfrac{m_\alpha \times v_\alpha^2}{m_p\times v_p^2}

            \dfrac{1eV}{4eV}=\dfrac{4\times v_\alpha^2}{1\times v_p^2}\\\\\\\dfrac{v_p^2}{v_\alpha^2}=16\\\\\\\dfrac{v_p}{v_\alpha}=4

Thus:

           \dfrac{m_\alpha}{m_p}=4=\dfrac{v_p}{v__\alpha}

          m_\alpha v_\alpha=m_pv_p

From de-Broglie equation, λ = h/(mv)  

       \dfrac{\lambda_p}{\lambda_\alpha}=\dfrac{m_\lambda v_\lambda}{m_pv_p}=\dfrac{1}{1}=1:1

Which statement best summarizes the central idea of “Applications of Newton’s Laws”?
Shkiper50 [21]

 

Newton's three forces, normal, tension and friction, are present in a surprising number of physical situations

Newton's Laws, that describe the relationship between an obejct and the forces acting upon it, apply in almost every physical situation, from quantum mechanics to electricity.

The correct answer is:

Newton’s laws can explain the forces that occur between objects every day
