Question

Which of the following quantities are unknown?
Select all that apply.
a. the initial speed of the alpha particle
b. the charge of the alpha particle
c. the value of the electric potential at the initial position of the alpha particle
d. the value of the electric potential at the final position of the alpha particle
e. the final speed of the alpha particle
f. the difference in potential between the initial and final positions of the alpha particle
g. the mass of the alpha particle

Answer 1

Answer:

unknow e and f

Explanation:

In experiments with alpha particles that are obtained by the method of radioactive decay of atoms, some parameters are known

a) Known. The initial velocity is given by the energy of the particles entities by the atomic nuclei

b) Known. The particle charge always 2e, helium core

c) Known. It is set in the given experiment, in general it is selected as zero

d) Known. Placed by the experimenter

e) Unknown. The speed depends on the interactions with the system

f) Unknown. It depends on the interactions with the system, because the position depends on the interactions

g) Known. It is always the value of a helium nucleo

Answer 2

Answer:

d. the value of the electric potential at the final position of the alpha particle

c. the value of the electric potential at the initial position of the alpha particle

e. the final speed of the alpha particle
