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.

A coin is placed on a large disk which rotates uniformly at a rate of 1 rot/s. The coefficient of friction between the coin and
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

r = 0.02 m

Explanation:

from the question we have :

speed = 1 rps = 1x 60 = 60 rpm

coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.1

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

maximum distance without falling off (r) = ?

to get how far from the center of the disk the coin can be placed without having to slip off we equate the formula for the centrifugal force with the frictional force on the turntable force

mv^2 / r =  m x g x μ

v^2 / r =  g x μ  .......equation 1

where

velocity (v) = angular speed (rads/seconds) x radius

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2π}{60} ) x rpm

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2 x π}{60} ) x 60 = 6.28 rads/ seconds

now

velocity = 6.28 x r = 6.28 r

now substituting the value of velocity into equation 1

v^2 / r =  g x μ

(6.28r)^2 / r = 9.8 x 0.1

39.5 x r = 0.98

r = 0.02 m

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has magnitude of 3.7 m/s^2. We want
denpristay [2]

Answer:

2.32 s

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

s = ut+g't²/2............................ Equation 1

Where s = distance, u = initial velocity, g' = acceleration due to gravity of  the moon, t = time.

Note: Since Onur drops the basket ball from a height, u = 0 m/s

Then,

s = g't²/2

make t the subject of the equation,

t = √(2s/g')...................... Equation 2

Given: s = 10 m, g' = 3.7 m/s²

Substitute this value into equation 2

t = √(2×10/3.7)

t = √(20/3.7)

t = √(5.405)

t = 2.32 s.
