Identify the correct descriptions of alpha particles. Select one or more: Alpha particles are more massive than beta particles. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. An alpha particle has a negative charge. An alpha particle is a form of electromagnetic radiatio

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Alpha particles are more massive than beta particles.

Explanation:

The alpha particles are also called double-positive Heilum Nuclei because they have a charge of "+2" and a mass of 4 a.m.u. The properties of the alpha particles are as follows:

1. It possesses high energy due to high velocity. It is 7.7 MeV for most energetic from Rac (i.e: Bismuth-214)

2. It has a very high ionizing power. A 7.7 MeV particle produces about 0.2 x 10⁶ ions.

3. The range of alpha particles is very small. It is about 7 x 10⁻² m and only 4 x 10⁻⁵ m in aluminum for 7.7 MeV alpha-particle.

4. Alpha particles produce fluorescence on striking certain substances, such as zinc sulphide and bariumplatinocynide.

The beta particles are fast-moving electrons, which have a negligible mass.  

Hence, the correct option is:

Alpha particles are more massive than beta particles.

A rugby player passes the ball 7.00 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand.
(a) At what angle was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 12.0 m/ s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used?
(b) What other angle gives the same range, and why would it not be used?
(c) How long did this pass take?

Answers

Answer:

a)   θ = 14.23º, b)   θ₂ = 75.77,  c) t = 0.6019 s

Explanation:

This is a missile throwing exercise.

a) the reach of the ball is the distance traveled for the same departure height

          R = [tex]\frac{v_o^2 \ sin 2 \theta }{g}[/tex]

          sin 2θ = [tex]\frac{Rg}{v_o^2}[/tex]

          sin 2θ = 7.00 9.8 / 12.0²

          2θ = sin⁻¹ (0.476389) = 28.45º

           θ = 14.23º

the complementary angle that gives the same range is the angle after 45 that the same value is missing to reach 90º

          θ ’= 90  -14.23

          θ’= 75.77º

b) the two angles that give the same range are

         θ₁ = 14.23

         θ₂ = 75.77

the greater angle has a much greater height so the time of the movement is greater and has a greater chance of being intercepted by the other team.

C) the time of the pass can be calculated with the expression

                       

           x = v₀ₓ t

           t = x / v₀ₓ

           t = 7 / 11.63

           t = 0.6019 s

The upward force on each supporting plank is 200 N

The given parameters include;

weight of the plank, W₁ = 400 Nlength of the plank, l = 2 mupward force of each supporting plank, = W₂ and W₃

To show that the upward force of each supporting plank is 200 N, make the following sketch.

                 W₂                                                           W₃

                                              400 N

The two supporting planks keeps the 2m plank in equilibrium position. If the plank is in equilibrium position the sum of the upward forces equals sum of the downward force.

W₂  +   W₃ = 400 N

But the distance of each supporting plank from the end is equal, (0.2m).

Then, W₂  =  W₃

2W₂ = 400 N

W₂ = 400N/2

W₂ = 200 N

W₃ = 200 N

Therefore, the upward force on each supporting plank that keeps the plank in equilibrium position is 200 N.

There can be uncertainty in calculating the wavelength of a laser light  due to experimental errors

All measurements have an uncertainty, in the case of direct measurements the uncertainty is equal to the precision of the given instrument.

What are uncertainity in measuring ?

Uncertainty  means the range of possible values within which the true value of the measurement lies.

What are errors?

The deviation  in the value of the measured quantity from the actual quantity or true value is called an error

(a) For the calculation of wavelength of laser light , the sources which can lead to uncertainty are

1. least count of measuring instruments like spectrometer or interferometer

2. Parallax error in the measurement

3. Error in identifying the order of fringes

4.. unable to identify the accurate  reading of Vernier or circular scales present in the measuring instruments.

5. Propagating errors

What is least count?

The least count of a measuring instrument is the smallest and accurate value in the measured quantity that can be measured by instrument.

What is propagating error?

When you have derived variables, that is, when measurements are made with different instruments, each with a different uncertainty, the way to find the uncertainty or error is that  all the errors add up. which increases the uncertainty

b. The uncertainty in measurement due to  least count depends on the instrument used for measurement f wavelength. A  Michelson's

interferometer has the least count of .0001mm. whereas spectrometer has a least count of 0.5⁰. Hence uncertainty in the measurement by Michelson's interferometer is very less as compared to any other instrument.

C. The maximum uncertainty arises due to the least count , as all other errors can be minimized by taking an average value of many observations but the least count of an instrument do not change so uncertainty within the least count arises.

An ink-jet printer steers charged ink drops vertically. Each drop of ink has a mass of 10-11 kg, and a charge due to 500,000 extra electrons. It goes through two electrodes that gives a vertical acceleration of 104 m/s2. The deflecting electric field is _____ MV/m.

Answers

Answer:

  E = 1.25 MV / m

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

          F = m a

where the force is electric

          F = q E

we substitute

          q E = m a

          E = m a / q

indicate there are 500,000 excess electrons

          q = 500000 e

          q = 500000 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

          q = 8 10⁻¹⁴ C

the mass is m = 10⁻¹¹ kg and the acceleration a = 10⁴ m / s²

         

let's calculate

          E = 10⁻¹¹ 10⁴ / 8 10⁻¹⁴

          E = 0.125 10⁷ V / m = 1.25 10⁶ V / m

It is easy to produce a potential difference of several thousand volts between your body and the floor by scuffing your shoes across a nylon carpet. When you touch a metal doorknob, you get a mild shock. Yet contact with a power line of comparable voltage would probably be fatal. Why is there a difference?

Answers

Answer:

In sof the friction with the nylon is very small and the current with the line e is largeummary

Explanation:

When we rub the shoes against the carpet, static electricity is produced, when you touch the metal knob you close the circuit and the current can circulate to three of the body, the value of this current is of the order of micro volts, for which a small discharge, the power that circulates through the body is very small of the order of 0.005 A

When you touch the power line, the voltage may be small, but the amount of current that can generate them is of the order of tens of amps, the electric shock is much greater per location.

In general there is a rule that if the body resumes more than P = 4000W the discharge could be fatal.

In sof the friction with the nylon is very small and the current with the line e is largeummary, the difference is that the current at the stop , so the paper that passes through the body is large and can be dangerous.

In contact with metal doorknob, get a mild shock  while with power line of same voltage, fatal the body as the amount of current is more.

What is charging by friction?

When the two materials are rubbed each other, then the electric charged generated between them.

This charging of materials, due to the rubbing of two materials against each other, is called the charging by friction.

It is easy to produce a potential difference of several thousand volts between the body and the floor by scuffing your shoes across a nylon carpet.

In this case, the potential difference may be higher, but the value of current is very low. Thus, when the body touches a metal doorknob, it will get a mild shock.

Now, in another case, the contact with a power line of comparable voltage would probably be fatal. This is because in the power line the amount of current is much higher.

Hence, in contact with metal doorknob, get a mild shock  while with power line of same voltage, fatal the body as the amount of current is more.

Two streams merge to form a river. One stream has a width of 8.3 m, depth of 3.2 m, and current speed of 2.2 m/s. The other stream is 6.8 m wide and 3.2 m deep, and flows at 2.4 m/s. If the river has width 10.4 m and speed 2.8 m/s, what is its depth?

Answers

Answer:

The depth of the resulting stream is 3.8 meters.

Explanation:

Under the assumption that streams are formed by incompressible fluids, so that volume flow can observed conservation:

[tex]\dot V_{1} + \dot V_{2} = \dot V_{3}[/tex] (1)

All volume flows are measured in cubic meters per second.

Dimensionally speaking, we can determine the depth of the resulting stream ([tex]h_{3}[/tex]), in meters, by expanding (1) in this manner:

[tex]w_{1}\cdot h_{1}\cdot v_{1} + w_{2}\cdot h_{2}\cdot v_{2} = w_{3}\cdot h_{3}\cdot v_{3}[/tex]

[tex]h_{3} = \frac{w_{1}\cdot h_{1}\cdot v_{1}+w_{2}\cdot h_{2}\cdot v_{2}}{w_{3}\cdot v_{3}}[/tex] (2)

[tex]v_{1}, v_{2}[/tex] - Speed of the merging streams, in meters per second.

[tex]h_{1}, h_{2}[/tex] - Depth of the merging streams, in meters.

[tex]w_{1}, w_{2}[/tex] - Width of the merging streams, in meters.

[tex]w_{3}[/tex] - Width of the resulting stream, in meters.

[tex]v_{3}[/tex] - Speed of the resulting stream, in meters per second.

If we know that [tex]w_{1} = 8.3\,m[/tex], [tex]h_{1} = 3.2\,m[/tex], [tex]v_{1} = 2.2\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]w_{2} = 6.8\,m[/tex], [tex]h_{2} = 3.2\,m[/tex], [tex]v_{2} = 2.4\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]w_{3} = 10.4\,m[/tex] and [tex]v_{3} = 2.8\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], then the depth of the resulting stream is:

[tex]h_{3} = \frac{(8.3\,m)\cdot (3.2\,m)\cdot \left(2.2\,\frac{m}{s} \right) + (6.8\,m)\cdot (3.2\,m)\cdot \left(2.4\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{(10.4\,m)\cdot \left(2.8\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}[/tex]

[tex]h_{3} = 3.8\,m[/tex]

The depth of the resulting stream is 3.8 meters.
