- Alpha decay is nuclear decay in which a helium nucleus is emitted. If the helium nucleus has a mass of 6.80×10-27kg and is given 5.00 Me V of kinetic energy, what is its velocity?arrow_forwardCheck Your Understanding Why not use the simpler expression U=mg(y2y1) ? How significant would the error be? (Recall the previous result, in Example 13.4, that the value g at 400 km above the Earth is 8.67m/s2 .)arrow_forwardAt what speed will a proton be traveling if it encounters a feild of 2.84-T and generates a force of 3.05-N?arrow_forward

What is the maximum kinetic energy ofthe electron?arrow_forward
- Starting from rest, a proton falls through a potential difference of 1200 V. What speed does it acquire?arrow_forwardA body mass 4 kg falls(at rest) from a medium whose resisting force is numerically equal to 0.003v, where v is the velocity in m/s. What is the distance traveled after 5 seconds?arrow_forwardBeta-decay is nuclear decay in which an electron is emitted from an atom. If the electron is given 0.65 MeV of kinetic energy, what is its velocity, as a fraction of the speed of light? You will have to assume the electron is moving relativistically.arrow_forward
- Given problem: A wingsuit flyer weighing 90 kg (including equipment) climbs at the peak of a mountain. He jumps without extending his arms and feet and free falls from an altitude of 1500 m. After 10 seconds of free fall, he opens his webbing sleeve to generate an increased lift and allows gliding. Assume it started from rest and that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 11|v| when the webbing sleeve is closed and is of magnitude 180|v| when the webbing sleeve is open, where the velocity v is measured in m/s. A. Find the speed of the wingsuit flyer when the webbing sleeve opens. B. Find the distance fallen before the webbing sleeve opens. C. What is the limiting velocity after the webbing sleeve opens?
