Nuclear decay is spontaneous. 

 

Nuclear fission does occur spontaneously but at a very low level in fissionable materials. The main difference between fission and nuclear decay is that fission can occur by neutron bombardment. And when the neutron source is also other fissioning atoms, a chain reaction can may happen. <span>
No chain reaction is possible with nuclear decay. 
<span>That would be a much better characteristic to look at.</span></span>

Find the velocity (in m/s) of a proton that has a momentum of 4.96 X 10^-19 kg.m/s.
kramer

Answer:

The velocity of the proton is 2.965*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The momentum of a particle is defined as the product of its mass by its velocity and we can calculate it using the following formula:

p=m*v Equation (1)

Where:

p: Is the momentum in kg*m/s

m: Is mass of the particle in kg

v: Is the velocity of the particle in m/s

Data known:

m= 1,6726 × 10^–27 kg : mass of the proton

p= 4.96 X 10^-19 kg.m/s.

We replace this data in the Equation (1):

4,96*10^{-19} =1.6726*10^{-27} *vv=\frac{4.9*10^{-19} }{1.6726*10^{-27} }

v=(\frac{4.96}{1.6726} )*(10^{27-19} )

v=2,965*10^{8} m/s

Answer: The velocity of the proton is 2.965*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}

A metal ring 4.00 cm in diameter is placed between the north and south poles of large magnets with the plane of its area perpend
liq [111]

Answer:

a) 0.21N/C

b) counterclockwise

Explanation:

a) to find the magnitude of the electric field you can use the following formula:

\int Eds=-\frac{\Delta \Phi_B}{\Delta t}=-\frac{\Delta AB}{\Delta t}

A: area of the ring = pi*r^2

E: electric field

Ф_B: magnetic flux

In the line integral you can assume E as constant. Furthermore, you calculate the change in the magnetic flux by taking into account that the time interval is 1.12/0.21=5.33s. By replacing in the formula you obtain:

\frac{\Delta \Phi_B}{\Delta t}=\frac{A(B_f-B_i)}{5.33s}=\frac{\pi(0.04m)^2(1.12T)}{5.33}=1.056*10^{-3}W/s

E\int ds=E(2\pi r)=1.056*10^{-3}W/s\\\\E=\frac{1.056*10^{-3}W/s}{\pi(0.04m)^2}=0.21\frac{N}{C}

the magnitude if the induced electric field is 0.21N/C

b) By the Lenz's law you can conclude that the current has a direction in a counterclockwise

A force of 334 N has a work on an object of 823 J, what is the displacement that was made
Greeley [361]

Answer: 2.46m

Explanation:

Given that:

force = 334 N

Work on an object = 823 J

Displacement = ?

Recall that work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance (when the object is displaced in a particular direction)

i.e Work = Force x Displacement

823J = 334 N x displacement

Displacement = 823J / 334N

Displacement = 2.46m

Thus, a displacement of 2.46 metres was made in the work.

in that work
