Answer:

Helium nucleus

Explanation:

Alpha particles have two protons and two neutrons, wich is the configuration of an Helium Nucleus.

The atomic number of an element it is the number of protons that the element has in its nucleus, this number is uniqe to every element. Helium is the second element in the periodic table so Its atomic number is 2, This means it has two protons and the same amount of neutrons, wich makes alpha particles identical to a helium nucleus, not to a Helium atom, because a Helium atom has electrons and alpha particles don't have electrons.

Water is a colorless and odorless liquid. It can exist in solid, liquid, and gas states. It boils at 100 degrees C and melts at
BARSIC [14]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Physical properties are the properties in which there is no change in chemical composition of a substance. On the other hand, chemical properties are the properties which change the chemical composition of a substance.

For example, when water boils at 100 ^{o}C then it changes into vapor state whereas when water freezes at 0^{0}C then it changes state from liquid to solid.

This means only physical state of water is changing and there is no change in chemical composition of water.

Hence, we can conclude that best option describing given information is that these are the physical changes water undergoes.

A child of mass 27 kg swings at the end of an elastic cord. At the bottom of the swing, the child's velocity is horizontal, and
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum is 794.11 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of child = 27 kg

Speed of child in horizontal = 10 m/s

Length = 3.40 m

There is a rate of change of the perpendicular component of momentum.

Centripetal force acts always towards the center.

We need to calculate the magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum

Using formula of momentum

\dfrac{dp}{dt}=F

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=\dfrac{27\times10^2}{3.40}

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=794.11\ N

Hence, The magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum is 794.11 N.

A 1.15-kg mass oscillates according to the equation x = 0.650 cos(8.40t) where x is in meters and t in seconds. Determine (a) th
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

(a) A = 0.650 m

(b) f = 1.3368 Hz

(c) E = 17.1416 J

(d)  K = 11.8835 J

     U = 5.2581 J

Explanation:

Given

m = 1.15 kg

x = 0.650 cos (8.40t)

(a) the amplitude,

A = 0.650 m

(b) the frequency,

if we know that

ω = 2πf = 8.40    ⇒   f = 8.40 / (2π)

⇒   f = 1.3368 Hz

(c) the total energy,

we use the formula

E = m*ω²*A² / 2

⇒  E = (1.15)(8.40)²(0.650)² / 2

⇒  E = 17.1416 J

(d) the kinetic energy and potential energy when x = 0.360 m.

We use the formulas

K = (1/2)*m*ω²*(A² - x²)       (the kinetic energy)

and

U = (1/2)*m*ω²*x²              (the potential energy)

then

K = (1/2)*(1.15)*(8.40)²*((0.650)² - (0.360)²)

⇒  K = 11.8835 J

U = (1/2)*(1.15)*(8.40)²*(0.360)²

⇒  U = 5.2581 J

Suppose your friend claims to have discovered a mysterious force in nature that acts on all particles in some region of space. H
kirill [66]

Answer:

             U = 1 / r²

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask for potential energy giving the expression of force, since these two quantities are related

             

         F = - dU / dr

this derivative is a gradient, that is, a directional derivative, so we must have

          dU = - F. dr

the esxresion for strength is

         F = B / r³

let's replace

          ∫ dU = - ∫ B / r³  dr

in this case the force and the displacement are parallel, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

let's evaluate the integrals

            U - Uo = -B (- / 2r² + 1 / 2r₀²)

To complete the calculation we must fix the energy at a point, in general the most common choice is to make the potential energy zero (Uo = 0) for when the distance is infinite (r = ∞)

             U = B / 2r²

we substitute the value of B = 2

             U = 1 / r²

B) Explain the method of preparing electromagnet. How do you test the
kap26 [50]

Answer:

An electromagnet is made by forming a coil around a soft iron bar (known here as the metal) such as a nail or  screw and connect with an insulated copper wire (known here as the electric current conductor) the ends of the wound copper is then connected separately to the positive and negative terminals of a battery (known here as the source of electric current)

The north seeking needle of the magnetic compass will move away when brought close to the north pole of the formed electromagnet which can then be labelled N

The magnetic compass needle will be attracted to the south pole of the electromagnet which can then be labelled S

Explanation:

An electromagnet is an electric powered magnet that is formed (temporarily) by the perpendicular movement of electric current with respect to a metal core

The magnitude and the poles of an electromagnet can be changed by changing the magnitude and the direction of flow of the electric current respectively.
