Answer:

Alpha decay releases particles that have more mass and charge than the particles released during beta decay.

Explanation:

In the alpha decay, an alpha particle is emitted. An alpha particle is a nucleus of helium, consisting of two protons and two neutrons. The particle emitted in the beta decay is instead an electron: therefore, the alpha particle has more mass and more charge than a beta particle. For this reason, alpha particles are much more ionising than electrons, so they release much more energy per unit distance than beta particles, and so they lose all their energy much faster than beta particles. This is why alpha particles can be easily blocked even by a thin piece of paper, while beta particles are able to pass through.

A spring with a spring constant of 2500 n/m. is stretched 4.00 cm. what is the work required to stretch the spring?
Yuri [45]
W = 1/2k*x^2.

k = spring constant = 2500 n/m.
x = distance = 4 cm = 0.04m (convert to same units).

W = 1/2(2500)(0.04)^2 = 2J.

Hurricane katrina, which hit the gulf coast of louisiana and mississippi on august 29, 2005, had the second lowest ever recorded
Simora [160]
The unit 'mb' means millibar which is equivalent to 1/1000 of 1 bar. To convert the units from bar to atmospheres (atm) and to inches Hg (inHg), we need to know the conversion factors.

a.) 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(1 atm/1.01325 bar) =<em> 9.08×10⁻⁴ atm</em>

b.) 1 bar = 29.53 inHg

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(29.53 inHg/1 bar) =<em> 0.027 inHg</em>

A soccer ball kicked with a force of 13.5 n accelerates at 6.5 m/s^2 to the right. what is the mass of the ball?
natita [175]

Answer:

2.08 kg

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the force applied to the object, according to the equation:

F=ma

where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

In this situation, the soccer ball is kicked with a force F=13.5 N and its acceleration is a=6.5 m/s^2, therefore its mass is

m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{13.5 N}{6.5 m/s^2}=2.08 kg

An electron moves with a constant horizontal velocity of 3.0 × 106 m/s and no initial vertical velocity as it enters a deflector
Ghella [55]

Answer:

a = 5.05 x 10¹⁴ m/s²

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the horizontal direction

v_{x} = velocity along the horizontal direction = 3.0 x 10⁶ m/s

t = time of travel

X = horizontal distance traveled = 11 cm = 0.11 m

Time of travel can be given as

t = \frac{X}{v_{x}}

inserting the values

t = 0.11/(3.0 x 10⁶)

t = 3.67 x 10⁻⁸ sec

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

Y = vertical distance traveled = 34 cm = 0.34 m

a = acceleration = ?

t = time of travel  = 3.67 x 10⁻⁸ sec

v_{y} = initial velocity along the vertical direction = 0 m/s

Using the kinematics equation

Y = v_{y} t + (0.5) a t²

0.34 = (0) (3.67 x 10⁻⁸) + (0.5) a (3.67 x 10⁻⁸)²

a = 5.05 x 10¹⁴ m/s²
