In the form of radioactive decay known as alpha decay, an unstable nucleus emits a helium-atom nucleus, which is called an alpha particle. An alpha particle contains two protons and two neutrons, thus having mass m

Two particles of masses m and 2m are placed on a smooth horizontal table. a string, which joins these two masses, hangs over the edge supporting a pulley, which suspends a particle of mass 3m.the pulley has negligible mass. the two parts of the string on the table are parallel and perpendicular to the edge of the table. the hanging parts of the string are vertical. find the acceleration of the particle of mass 3m.

Aplane travels 1000 miles in 5 hours .what is the planes average speed?

Mutt and jeff are running along a path each pushing a cart loaded with rocks. if mutt's wagon has a mass two times greater than jeff's and they want to stay together, arriving at their destination at the same time, what must happen? a) jeff should slow down so mutt can catch up. b) mutt must use half as much force to push his cart. c) mutt must use twice as much force to push his cart. d) mutt and jeff will use the same force, but mutt will take bigger steps.
