Write balanced nuclear equation for the decay of strontium 94 into yttrium

Physics
1 answer:
Dmitriy789 [7]3 years ago
8 0

The nuclear decay equation is _{38}^{94}Sr \rightarrow _{39}^{94}Y + e^- + \overline{\nu}

Explanation:

First of  all, we look at the periodic table to see what is the atomic number of the two elements involved.

We notice that:

  • The atomic number of strontium is 38
  • The atomic number of yttrium is 39

This means that in the decay, a neutron from the nucleus of strontium transforms into a proton (because the atomic number, which is the number of protons, increases by 1 unit).

Therefore, this means that the decay involved is a beta-minus decay, in which a neutron converts into a proton emitting an electron (to conserve the charge) alongside an anti-neutrino.

Therefore, the balanced nuclear decay equation is:

_{38}^{94}Sr \rightarrow _{39}^{94}Y + e^- + \overline{\nu}

where the mass number (94) does not change, since the number of nucleons (protons+neutrons) remains the same.

A uniform solid disk with a mass of 24.3 kg and a radius of 0.364 m is free to rotate about a frictionless axle. Forces of 90.0
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a. -12.7 Nm

b. -7.9 rad/s^2

Explanation:

I have attached an illustration of a solid disk with the respective forces applied, as stated in this question.

Forces applied to the solid disk include:

F_1 = 90.0N\\F_2 = 125N

Other parameters given include:

Mass of solid disk, M = 24.3kg

and radius of solid disk, r = 0.364m

a.) The formula for determining torque (T), is T = r * F

Hence the net torque produced by the two forces is given as a summation of both forces:

T = T_{125} + T_{90}\\= -r(125)sin90 + r(90)sin90\\= 0.364(-125 + 90)\\= -12.7 Nm

b.)  The angular acceleration of the disk can be found thus:

using the formula for the Moment of Inertia of a solid disk;

I_{disk} = {\frac{1}{2}}Mr^2

where M = Mass of solid disk

and r = radius of solid disk

We then relate the torque and angular acceleration (\alpha) with the formula:

T = I\alpha \\-12.7 = ({\frac{1}{2}}Mr^2)\alpha \\\alpha  = -{\frac{12.7}{1.61}} = -7.9 rad/s^2

The magnitude of a force vector is 89.6 newtons (N). The x component of this vector is directed along the +x axis and has a magn
insens350 [35]

Answer:

(a) θ = 33.86°

(b) Ay = 49.92 N

Explanation:

You have that the magnitude of a vector is A = 89.6 N

The x component of such a vector is Ax = 74.4 N

(a) To find the angle between the vector and the x axis you use the following formula for the calculation of the x component of a vector:

A_x=Acos\theta       (1)

Ax: x component of vector A

A: magnitude of vector A

θ: angle between vector A and the x axis

You solve the equation (1) for θ, by using the inverse of cosine function:

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{A_x}{A})=cos{-1}(\frac{74.4N}{89.6N})\\\\\theta=33.86\°

the angle between the A vector and the x axis is 33.86°

(b) The y component of the vector is given by:

A_y=Asin\theta\\\\A_y=(89.6N)sin(33.86\°)=49.92N

the y comonent of the vecor is Ay = 49.92 N

A light beam has speed c in vacuum and speed v in a certain plastic. The index of refraction n of this plastic is
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

n = \frac{c}{v}

Explanation:

Refractive Index: It is a measure to find how fast the light travels through a medium. It is ration of the speed of light in vacuum to speed of light in the medium. Speed of light is not constant and varies depending on the density of the medium.

In vacuum the speed of light is 300000 km/s and is denoted by c. When the light beam enters any medium the speed will decrease. Here it is given that the speed in plastic is v. Thus the refractive index(n) is given as:

n = \frac{c}{v}

It is a dimensionless no.

Determine the direction of the force that will act on the charge in each of the following situations. A negative charge moving t
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a) DOWN direction,  b)  directed INTO THE SCREEN, c)    F = 0

Explanation:

The direction of the force is

for electric force

           F = q E

where we assume a positive test charge, for which the force has the direction of the electric field.

For a magnetic field

in this case the direction of the force is given by the right hand rule.

For a positive test charge, the thumb points in the direction of velocity, the other fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field, and the palm gives the direction of force for a positive charge.

           F = q v x B

Let us apply these considerations to our case.

a) negative charge moving to the left

in a magnetic field points away from the screen

In this case the thumb goes to the left, the fingers extended outwards and the palm points upwards, but since the charge is negative the force has a DOWN direction.

b) negative charge moves to the left

in electric field it points off the screen.

The outside is in the direction of the electric field and since the charge is negative, the force is directed INTO THE SCREEN

c) positive charge moves down

in magnetic field points up

in this case the velocity and the field have the same direction so the vector product of them is zero

       F = q v  B sin 0

       F = 0
