Answer:

Explanation:

The solid state is one of the 3 stages which matter undergoes in addition to the liquid and the gaseous state. Matter in it's solid state contains atoms which are closely packed, In this stage, matter exhibits the least amount of kinetic energy of all three stages hence hindering movement of its particles and exhibiting firmness and rigidity. Solids exhibits a regular arrangement of it's molecules which differs from the scattered nature of gaseous particles and slightly ordered nature of liquid molecules. Solids exhibits a defined volume , and shape with molecules held together by string attractive forces. Solids can change into liquid through melting or transform directly into gaseous state through sublimation.

When the daughter nucleus produced in a radioactive decay is itself unstable, it will eventually decay and form its own daughter
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

4.981 MeV

Explanation:

The quantity of energy Q can be calculated using the formula

Q = (mass before - mass after) × c²

Atomic Mass of thorium = 232.038054 u, atomic of Radium = 228.0301069 u and mass of Helium = 4.00260. The difference of atomic number and atomic mass  between the thorium and radium ( 232 - 228)  and ( 90 - 88)  show α particle was emitted.

1 u = 931.494 Mev/c²

Q = (mass before - mass after) × c²

Q = ( mass of thorium - ( mass of Radium + mass of Helium ) )× c²

Q = 232.038054 u - ( 228.0301069 + 4.00260) × c²

Q = 0.0053471 u × c²

replace 1 u = 931.494 MeV/ c²

Q = 0.0053471 × c² × (931.494 MeV / c²)

cancel c²  from the equation

Q = 0.0053471 × 931.494 MeV = 4.981 MeV

If you know that the universe is estimated to be 14 billion years old . what is the age of the universe in seconds ???? (knowing
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

<em>The estimated age of the universe is</em> 4.42*10^{17}\ seconds

Explanation:

<u>Time Units Conversion</u>

Sometimes we need to express magnitudes in different units, depending on the specific situation handled in the question or problem at hand. Magnitudes like length, time, mass, temperature, pressure, etc., can be expressed in several different units.

The most common units for time are years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. There are 3,600 seconds in one hour and 24 hours in one day.

We are given the estimated age of the universe as 14 billion solar years. If one solar year is 365.25 days long, then the age, expressed in days is

14,000,000,000 * 365.25 days

Some quantities need to be expressed in scientific notation. This is the case since the numbers are too high

14,000,000,000 * 365.25 = 5.1135*10^{12}\ days

There are 24*3600=86400 seconds in one day, so

5.1135*10^{12}\ days=5.1135*10^{12} * 86400 =4.42*10^{17}\ seconds

The estimated age of the universe is 4.42*10^{17}\ seconds

Will a seismic wave traveling through a solid go slower or faster than a seismic wave traveling through a liquid? Why?
Snezhnost [94]
You can't answer this question because you aren't giving the specific type of seismic waves. There is an s-wave a p-wave and an l-wave. Those are the basic waves. An S-wave cannot travel through a liquid at all. So, obviously it travels slower than any other seismic wave. 


<span>It would travel faster because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.</span>
