In gold at room temperature, the mobility of mobile electrons is about , and there are about mobile electrons per cubic meter. Calculate the conductivity of gold, including correct units.
Many heavy nuclei are “alpha emitters”: they emit an alpha particle, which is the historical name for the nucleus of a helium atom, which contains two protons. For example, a thorium nucleus containing 90 protons is an alpha-emitter. What element does thorium turn into as a result of emitting an alpha particle?
In order to pull a sled across a level field at a constant velocity you have to exert a constant force. Doesn’t this violate Newton’s first and second laws of motion, which imply that no force is required to maintain a constant velocity? Explain this seeming contradiction.
