Answer:
Generally with successive half-life a new element is formed from the decayed nuclei:
isotope - daughter nucleus has same no. of protons (same atomic number) so the same element is formed in the decay
isotone - daughter nucleus has same number of neutrons so the atomic number has changed and a new element is formed (new atomic number)
isobar - daughter nucleus has same mass number - this could be an example of beta decay where the decayed nucleus has the same mass number but loses a neutron and gains a proton because of the lost electron and a new element is formed with the atomic number increases by 1
Example:
U238 Uranium - alpha to Th234
Th234 Thorium - 2 beta to U234 (back to U but atomic mass less by 4)
U234 Uranium - alpha to Th230
Th230 Thorium - alpha to Ra226
etc. but during beta decay (electron loss) a neutron is lost and a proton gained (answer a)
Answer:
1. Yes, it can occur adiabatically.
2. The work required is: 86.4kJ
Explanation:
1. The internal energy of a gas is just function of its temperature, and the temperature changes between the states, so, the internal energy must change, but how could it be possible without heat transfer? This process may occur adiabatically due to the energy balance:

This balance tell us that the internal energy changes may occur due to work that, in this case, si done over the system.
2. An internal energy change of a gas may be calculated as:

Assuming
constant,


Object B has a greater inertia i think, it has a greater momentum anyway
Explanation:
To me, it's option 1
Newton third law states that Every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. Hence, given the fact that the engine is on, it should be producing a constant force every time so, the speed should be constant as the force propelling it is the same
Answer:
Increases
Explanation:
From Newton's second law:
F = ma
If F stays the same and m decreases, then a increases.
Therefore, the magnitude of the train's acceleration increases (the acceleration becomes more negative).
