Which of the following selections completes the following nuclear reaction?

Physics
1 answer:
Monica [59]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

n (a neutron)

Explanation:

For a chemical element:

- The lower subscript indicates the atomic number (the number of protons)

- The upper subscript indicates the mass number (the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus)

In the reaction described in the problem, we see that a gamma photon hits a nucleus of Calcium-40, which has

Z = 20 (20 protons)

A = 40 (40 protons+neutrons)

Which means that the number of neutrons is n =  A - Z = 40 - 20 = 20

After the reaction, we have a nucleus of Calcium-39, which has

Z = 20 (20 protons)

A = 39 (39 protons+neutrons)

Which means that the number of neutrons is n =  A - Z = 40 - 39 = 19

So, the nucleus has lost 1 neutron, which is the particle missing in the reaction.

Two blocks of clay, one of mass 1.00 kg and one of mass 7.00 kg, undergo a completely inelastic collision. Before the collision
RideAnS [48]

Answer:8 m/s

Explanation:

Given

m_1=1 kg

m_2=7 kg

kinetic Energy of m_1=32 J

initially m_2 is at rest and let say m_1 is moving with velocity u

kinetic Energy of m_1 is =\frac{m_1u^2}{2}=32

u^2=64

u=8 m/s

In Completely inelastic collision both mass stick together and move with common velocity

Suppose v is the common velocity

m_1u+0=(m_1+m_2)v

v=\frac{1\times 8}{1+7}=1 m/s

therefore Final velocity with which both blocks moves is 1 m/s

A weightlifter presses a 200 N weight 0.5 m over his head in 2 s. What is the power of the weightlifter
icang [17]

Answer:

50 watts

Explanation:

Applying,

Power (P) = Workdone (W)/Time(t)

But,

Work done (W) = Force (F)×distance(d)

Therefore,

P = Fd/t..................... Equation 1

Where P =  power of the weightlifter, F = Force applied, d = distance, t = time.

From the question,

Given: F = 200 N, d = 0.5 m, t = 2 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (200×0.5)/2

P = 100/2

P = 50 watts
