A satellite is a body that revolves around another larger body. Where the larger body has a stronger gravitational pull on the smaller body, keeping it in orbit. Thus the moon is the satellite of the Earth is a good example of this.

Charlie pulls horizontally to the right on a wagon with a force of 37.2 N. Sara pulls horizontally to the left with a force of 2
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The work done on the wagon is 37 joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

The force applied by Charlie to the right, F = 37.2 N

The force applied by Sara to the left, F' = 22.4 N

We need to find the work done on the wagon after it has moved 2.50 meters to the right. The net force acting on the wagon is :

F_n=F-F'

F_n=37.2-22.4

F_n=14.8\ N

Work done on the wagon is given by the product of net force and displacement. It is given by :

W=F_n\times d

W=14.8\ N\times 2.5\ m

W = 37 Joules

So, the work done on the wagon is 37 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

If a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus, which of the following statements about this decay are correct? (There
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A gamma particle is basically a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength.

Symbol of a gamma particle is ^{0}_{0}\gamma. Hence, charge on a gamma particle is also 0.

For example, ^{234}_{91}Pa \rightarrow ^{234}_{91}Pa + ^{0}_{0}\gamma + Energy

So, when a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus then there will occur no change in the number of protons and neutrons of the parent atom but there will be loss of energy as a nuclear reaction has occurred.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement daughter nucleus has the same number of nucleons as the original nucleus., is correct about if  a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus.
