Which of these is most likely a characteristic of a parent isotope before it releases radioactive particles?

Physics

velikii [3]3 years ago

The correct option is D.
Isotopic substances typically have unstable nuclei and that is why they disintegrate in order to become stable. During the process of disintegration, the nucleus of the unstable substance will be split into two smaller fragments, which are more stable that the parent isotope. This disintegration may also be accompanied by radiations.

A 2 kg object traveling at 5 m s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides head-on with and sticks to a 3 kg object initiall
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object m=2\ kg

Speed of object u=5\ m/s

Mass of object at rest M=3\ kg

Suppose after collision, speed is v

conserving momentum

\Rightarrow mu+0=(m+M)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\times 5}{2+3}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2\ m/s

Initial kinetic energy

k_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2\\\\k_1=25\ J

Final kinetic energy

k_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2+3)\times 2^2\\\\k_2=10\ J

So, it is clear there is decrease in kinetic energy . Thus, energy decreases and velocity becomes 2 m/s.

A research team developed a robot named Ellie. Ellie ran 1,000 meters for 200 seconds from the research building, rested for 100
Verizon [17]

Answer:

1. Running velocity (5 m/s)

2. Resting velocity (0 m/s)

3. Walking velocity (-1 m/s)

1. Running speed (5 m/s)

2. Walking speed (1 m/s)

3. Resting speed (0 m/s)

Explanation:

Attached you will find the plot of position vs time of Ellie´s movement.

The velocity is the displacement of the object over time relative to the system of reference. The speed, in change, is the traveled distance over time in disregard of the system of reference.

So, the velocity is calculated as follows:

v = Δx / Δt

where

Δx = final position - initial position

Δt = elapsed time

1) The average velocity of Ellie while running is:

v = 1000 m - 0 m / 200 s = 5 m/s

While resting:

v = 0 m - 0 m / 100 s = 0 m/s

And while walking back:

v = 0 m - 1000 m / 1000 s = - 1 m/s

Note that in this last case, the initial position is 1000 m because Ellie is 1000 m from the origin of the system of reference when she walks back. The final position will be the origin of the system of reference, 0 m.

Comparing with the graphic, the velocity is the slope of the function position(t).

Then:

1. Running velocity (5 m/s)

2. Resting velocity (0 m/s)

3. Walking velocity (-1 m/s)

2) The speed is the distance traveled over time:

Running speed = 1000 m / 200 s = 5m /s

Resting speed = 0 m / 100 s = 0 m/s

Walking speed = 1000 m/ 1000 s = 1 m/s

Then:

1. Running speed (5 m/s)

2. Walking speed (1 m/s)

3. Resting speed (0 m/s)
