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

Physics

Dmitriy789 [7]3 years ago

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.

skateboarder, starting from rest, rolls down a 13.5 m ramp. When she arrives at the bottom of the ramp her speed is 7.37 m/s. If
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

1.7 m/s²

Explanation:

d = length of the ramp = 13.5 m

v₀ = initial speed of the skateboarder = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the skateboarder = 7.37 m/s

a = acceleration

Using the equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a d

7.37² = 0² + 2 a (13.5)

a = 2.01 m/s²

θ = angle of the incline relative to ground = 29.9

a' = Component of acceleration parallel to the ground

Component of acceleration parallel to the ground is given as

a' = a Cosθ

a' = 2.01 Cos29.9

a' = 1.7 m/s²
