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.

Explain Rutherford's experiment?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Rutherford bombarded aluminum foil with beam of light known as alpha particles. The mass of this alpha particle is equivalent to helium atom.

Explanation:

Rutherford bombarded aluminum foil with beam of light known as alpha particles. The mass of this alpha particle is equivalent to helium atom.

When this alpha particles were made to strike the aluminum foil, some passed through the foil, some were reflected and speed others changed.

The ones reflected encountered heavier particle known as the nucleus, preventing them from passing through it. The whole observations indicated that atom is not is uniformly charged sphere as proposed by J.J Thomson.

Rutherford proposed new model known as the Planetary model of atom, which described atom as containing a nucleus which is revolved by electron, just like planets revolve round the sun. And this nucleus contains opposite charge to electron which is proton, to balance the motion.

Automobile A and B are initially 30 m apart travelling in adjacent highway lanes at speeds VA = 14.4 km/hr., VB 23.4 km/hr. at t
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

        x = 240 m

Explanation:

This is a kinematics exercise

Let's fix our frame of reference on car A

           x = x₀ₐ+ v₀ₐ t + ½ aₐ t²

         

the initial position of car a is zero

           x = 0 + v₀ₐ t + ½ 0.8 t²

for car B

          x = x_{ob} + v_{ob} t - ½ a_b t²

     

car B's starting position is 30 m

         x = 30 + v_{ob} t - ½ 0.4 t²

at the point where they meet, the position of the two vehicles is the same

         0 + v₀ₐ t + ½ 0.8 t² = 30 + v_{ob} t - ½ 0.4 t²

let's reduce the speeds to the SI system

        v₀ₐ = 14.4 km / h (1000 m / 1 km) (1h / 3600s) = 4 m / s

        v_{ob} = 23.4 km / h = 6.5 m / s

        4 t + 0.4 t² = 30 + 6.5 t - 0.2 t²

        0.2 t² - 2.5 t - 30 = 0

        t² - 12.5 t - 150 = 0

we solve the quadratic equation

       t = \frac{12.5 \pm \sqrt{12.5^2 + 4 \ 150}  }{2}

       t = \frac{12.5 \  \pm 27.5}{2}

       t₁ = 20 s

       t₂ = -7.5 s

time must be a positive quantity so the correct result is t = 20 s

let's look for the distance

        x = 4 t + ½ 0.8 t²

        x = 4 20 + ½ 0.8 20²

        x = 240 m

NASA developed a reflective foil barrier to help shield spacecraft from heat transfer in space. These reflective barriers are no
morpeh [17]

Answer: Radiation

Explanation: Radiation is the energy that comes from a source in form of electromagnetic waves, subatomic particles, light, or heat which travels through space.

Examples of radiation include the light, heat, and particles emitted from the Sun.

Using a foil barrier to prevent heat transfer is possible because foil has a silver color, and silver reflects light and heat instead of absorbing them. This is the opposite of black surfaces that absorb heat.

So in homes where these foil reflective barriers are used, the transfer of heat through Radiation is highly reduced.

Allisa [31]
1.6a =  \frac{g(m_2 + m_3 - \mu km_1)}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}  \\  \\ 1.6a(m_1 + m_2 + m_3) = g(m_2 + m_3 - \mu km_1) \\  \\ (1.6a + \mu kg)m_1 + (1.6a - g)m_2 = (g - 1.6a)m_3 \\  \\ m_3 =  \frac{1.6a +\mu kg}{g - 1.6a} m_1 - m_2 \\  \\ m_3 = 22.57 kg
