What is radioactive decay?

Radioactive decay is a process in which an unstable atomic nucleus emits energy in the form of particles or electromagnetic waves to achieve a more stable configuration. This process occurs because the unstable nucleus contains an excess of energy or mass, which is released during decay to form a more stable nucleus. The most common types of radioactive decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, which involve the emission of alpha particles (helium nuclei), beta particles (electrons or positrons), or gamma rays (high-energy photons), respectively.

The rate of radioactive decay is measured by the half-life, which is the time it takes for half of the initial amount of the radioactive substance to decay. Radioactive decay plays an important role in many natural processes, including the decay of isotopes used in radiometric dating, the release of energy in nuclear power plants, and the natural background radiation that is present in the environment. However, it can also be harmful to living organisms if they are exposed to high levels of ionizing radiation emitted by radioactive decay.

Here in the Question,

Option A is not true because nuclei with a mass less than that of an iron nucleus (A = 56) are generally unstable and can undergo radioactive decay.

Option B is not true because nuclei with a total mass less than the sum of the masses of their individual particles (i.e., mass defect) can still be stable, such as helium-4.

Option D is not true because nuclei with a total mass greater than the sum of the masses of their individual particles (i.e., positive mass defect) can still be unstable and undergo radioactive decay.

Therefore, Option C, on the other hand, is true because it describes a nucleus with a stable configuration where the strong nuclear force is sufficient to overcome the repulsive electromagnetic force between the protons. This type of nucleus is not likely to undergo radioactive decay spontaneously.

What is the electric field strenght in units of N/C if the flux through a 2.0m by 1.0m rectangular surface is 396Nm2/C, if the electric field is uniform, and if the plane of the surface is at an angle of π/3 radians with respect to the direction of the field ?

Answers

Answer:

The appropriate answer is "396 N/C".

Explanation:

The give values are:

Rectangular surface,

[tex]\Phi_e=396 \ N.m^2/C[/tex]

[tex]a = 2 \ m[/tex]

[tex]b = 1 \ m[/tex]

Angle,

[tex]\theta =\frac{\pi}{3} \ radian[/tex]

Now,

The area of rectangle (A) will be:

=  [tex]a\times b[/tex]

=  [tex]2\times 1[/tex]

=  [tex]2 \ m^2[/tex]

hence,

The electric field strength will be:

⇒  [tex]\Phi_e=E.A Cos \theta[/tex]

or,

⇒  [tex]E=\frac{\Phi_e}{ACos \theta}[/tex]

On putting the given values, we get

⇒      [tex]=\frac{396}{2\times Cos(\frac{\pi}{3} )}[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=\frac{396}{2\times 0.5}[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=\frac{396}{1}[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=396 \ N/C[/tex]

Two resistors, one with 7.00 Ω of resistance and the other with 11.00 Ω of resistance, are connected in series to a 9.00 V battery. How much power is dissipated by these two resistors?

Answers

Answer:

4.5 W

Explanation:

Applying,

P = V²/(R₁+R₂).................. Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Voltage, R₁ and R₂ = values of the two resistor.

From the question,

Given: V = 9.00 V, R₁ = 7.00 Ω, R₂ = 11.00  Ω

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = 9²/(7+11)

P = 81/(18)

P = 4.5 Watt.

Hence the power dessipated by the two resistors is 4.5 watt

How far will the two vehicles be from one

(SA = 380m and SB
= 500m: SAB
120m). plz help​

Answers

Answer:

(i) Please find attached the required velocity time graphs plotted with MS Excel

(ii) The velocity of vehicle A at the 18th second = 20 m/s

The velocity of vehicle B at the 18th second = 0 m/s

(iii) The distance between the two vehicles at the moment in (ii) above is 60 meters

Explanation:

The given parameters of the motion of vehicles A and B are;

The acceleration of vehicles A and B = Uniform acceleration starting from rest

The maximum velocity attained by vehicle A = 30 m/s

The time it takes vehicle A to attain maximum velocity = 10 s

The maximum velocity attained by vehicle B = 30 m/s

The time it takes vehicle B to attain maximum velocity = The time it takes vehicle A to attain maximum velocity = 10 s

The time duration vehicle A maintains its maximum velocity = 6 s

The time duration vehicle B maintains its maximum velocity = 4 s

(i) From the question, we get the following table;

[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}Time &V_A&V_B\\0&0&0\\10&30&40\\14&30&40\\16&30&20\\18&20&0\\22&0&\end{array}[/tex]

From the above table the velocity time graphs of vehicles A and B is created with MS Excel and can included here

(ii) The velocity of vehicle A at the start = 0 m/s

After accelerating for 10 seconds, the velocity of vehicle A = The maximum velocity of vehicle A = 30 m/s

The maximum velocity is maintained for 6 seconds which gives;

At 10 s + 6 s = 16 s, the velocity of vehicle A = 30 m/s

The time it takes vehicle A to decelerate to rest = 6 s

The deceleration of vehicle A, [tex]a_A[/tex] = (30 m/s - 0 m/s)/(6 s) = 5 m/s²

Therefore, we get;

v = u - [tex]a_A[/tex]·t

At the 18th second, the deceleration time, t = 18 s - 16 s = 2 s

u = 30 m/s

∴ v₁₈ = 30 - 5 × 2 = 20

The velocity of vehicle A at the 18th second, [tex]V_{18A}[/tex] = 20 m/s

For vehicle B, we have;

At the 14th second, the velocity of vehicle B = 40 m/s

Vehicle B decelerates to rest in, t = 4 s

The deceleration of vehicle B, [tex]a_B[/tex] = (40 m/s - 0 m/s)/(4 s) = 10 m/s²

For vehicle B, at the 18th second, t = 18 s - 14 s = 4 s

∴ [tex]v_{18B}[/tex] = 40 m/s - 10 m/s² × 4 s = 0 m/s

The velocity of the vehicle B at 18th second, [tex]v_{18B}[/tex] = 0 m/s

(iii) The distance covered by vehicle A up to the 18th second is given by the area under the velocity-time graph as follows;

The area triangle A₁ = (1/2) × 10 × 30 = 150

Area of rectangle, A₂ = 6 × 30 = 180

Area of trapezoid, A₃ = (1/2) × (30 + 20) × 2 = 50

The distance covered in the 18th second by vehicle [tex]S_A[/tex] = A₁ + A₂ + A₃

∴ [tex]S_A[/tex] = 150 + 180 + 50 = 380

The distance covered in the 18th second by vehicle [tex]S_A[/tex] = 380 m

The distance covered by the vehicle B in the 18th second is given by the area under the velocity time graph of vehicle B as follows;

Area of trapezoid, A₅ = (1/2) × (18 + 4) × 40 = 440

The distance covered by the trapezoid, [tex]S_B[/tex] = 440 m

The distance of the two vehicles apart at the 18t second, [tex]S_{AB}[/tex] = [tex]S_B[/tex] - [tex]S_A[/tex]

∴ [tex]S_{AB}[/tex] = 440 m - 380 m = 60 m

The distance of the two vehicles from one another at the 18th second, [tex]S_{AB}[/tex] = 60 m.

Answer:

If the basket ball appears orange then it can be said that it reflects orange light

Explanation:

The color of the object reflected by an object is the color which is viewed by a viewer. Hence, if the basket ball reflects the orange color light , then the ball will appear orange in color to the viewer.

The light absorbed by the object has no role in deciding the color of the object visible to a viewer.

hence, if the basket ball appears orange then it can be said that it reflects orange light.

2. Can we control an acid rain? Why or Why not?
3. When pH changes from 6 to 3, how many times does acidity increase?

Answers

Answer:

1. The three main acidic gases responsible for lowering the pH of rainwater are non-metal oxides produced by the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. Sulfur dioxide is produced when fossil fuels containing sulfur impurities are burned.

2. A great way to reduce acid rain is to produce energy without using fossil fuels. Instead, people can use renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Renewable energy sources help reduce acid rain because they produce much less pollution.

3. The pH scale is logarithmic, meaning that an increase or decrease of an integer value changes the concentration by a tenfold. For example, a pH of 3 is ten times more acidic than a pH of 4.

Dos masas con valores de 8kg y 12kg cada una se encuentran separadas por una distancia de 1m. Determinar la fuerza de atraccion gravitacional entre ellas si se compara con el valor de sus pesos Como es este valor?

Answers

The question is: Two masses with values ​​of 8kg and 12kg each are separated by a distance of 1m. Determine the force of gravitational attraction between them if compared with the value of their weights. What is this value?

Answer: The force of gravitational attraction between them if compared with the value of their weights is [tex]640.704 \times 10^{-11} N[/tex].

Explanation:

Given: [tex]m_{1}[/tex] = 8 kg,       [tex]m_{2}[/tex] = 12 kg

Distance = 1 m

Formula used is as follows.

[tex]F = \frac{G \times m_{1} \times m_{2}}{r^{2}}[/tex]

where,

F = force of gravitational attraction

G = gravitational constant = [tex]6.674 \times 10^{-11} N m^{2}/kg^{2}[/tex]

[tex]m_{1}[/tex] = mass of object 1

[tex]m_{2}[/tex] = mass of object 2

r = distance between the centers of these two objects

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

[tex]F = \frac{G \times m_{1} \times m_{2}}{r^{2}}\\= \frac{6.674 \times 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} \times 8 kg \times 12 kg}{(1 m)^{2}}\\= 640.704 \times 10^{-11} N[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the force of gravitational attraction between them if compared with the value of their weights is [tex]640.704 \times 10^{-11} N[/tex].

A 450.0N force is applied for 9.90s, what is the momentum?

Answers

Answer:

Momentum = 4455 Ns

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 450 N

Time = 9.9 seconds

To find the momentum;

According to Newton's second law of motion in terms of momentum states that the net force acting on an object is equal to change in momentum divided by time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Net Force = change in momentum/time

Momentum = force * time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Momentum = 450 * 9.9

Momentum = 4455 Ns
