Answer:

A. Pu -239

Explanation:

An isotope is an element with the same atomic number but different mass number. most isotope are unstable, having short half life.

Curium-242 is an isotope produced when Plutonium 239 is bombarded by an alpha particle. This reaction between Plutonium 239 and alpha particle gives curium-242, neutron and a high amount of energy as the products.

Curium oxidizes easily, and it is a dangerous metal which can cause cancer initiation when absorbed by biological materials e.g bones or tissue.

What is the least amount of time required for a given point on this wave to move from y = 0 to y = 12cm?
ale4655 [162]

Time t = ?

<span>When wave is moving from y = 0  to y =12 cm</span>

By using the formula,

y = 15cos [(π/12) t)] = 0,

cos [(π/12) t)] = 0 = cos (π/2), so, 

(π/12)t = π/2,

t = (π/2) (12/π) 

t = 12/2

<span>t = 6 sec</span>

<span>so 6 sec is the least amount of time required</span>
