An experiment was performed on a 2-kg block. forces of 5, 10 and 15 newtons respectively were applied to the block for 5 seconds. describe the difference in acceleration between the three trials. a) the final accelerations will all be the same. b) the final acceleration will triple between the first and third trial. c) the final acceleration will be cut by 1/3 from the first to third trial. d) the final acceleration will increase nine time between the first and third trial.

An alpha particle with kinetic energy 12.5 mev makes a collision with lead nucleus, but it is not "aimed" at the center of the lead nucleus, and has an initial nonzero angular momentum (with respect to the stationary lead nucleus) of magnitude l = p0 b, where p0 is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the alpha particle and b=1.40×10−12 m. (assume that the lead nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge. the atomic number of lead is 82. the alpha particle is a helium nucleus, with atomic number 2.) what is the distance of closest approach?
