An alpha particle (^4\text{he} 4 he) undergoes an elastic collision with a stationary uranium nucleus (^{235}\text{u} 235 u). what percent of the kinetic energy of the alpha particle is transferred to the uranium nucleus? assume the collision is one-dimensional.

Which describes an image that can be produced by a concave lens? the image is real and smaller than the object. the image is virtual and larger than the object. the image is virtual and smaller than the object. the image is real and larger than the object.

What type of nuclear decay causes the atomic number of an element to increase by 1?

Askydiver weighing 140 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 19,000 ft and opens the parachute after 18 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.55|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 14|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. (a) find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. (b) find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. (c) what is the limiting velocity vl after the parachute opens? (d) determine how long the sky diver is in the air after the parachute opens. (e) plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the skydiver reaches the ground.
