What is the distance of closest approach of the two particles? (Assume that the lead nucleus remains stationary and 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.)

Amanometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tank. the fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differential height between the two arms of the manometer is 34 in. if the local atmospheric pressure is 12.7 psia, determine the absolute pressure in the tank for the cases of the

What happens to the velocity of the car when the upward pull of the cable is greater than the downward pull of gravity as the car rises toward the top?

Aboxcar traveling at 12 m/s approaches a string of 5 identical boxcars sitting stationary on the track. the moving boxcar collides and links with the stationary cars and they all move off together along the track. what is the final speed of the cars immediately after the collision? (you may take the mass of each boxcar to be 18,537 kg.)
