The presence of helium gas indicates the radioactive sample is most likely decaying by α-decay, or alpha decay. α-decay is the type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits α particles. α particles are Helium nuclei. So the correct answer would be α-decay.

To teach you how to find the parameters characterizing an object in a circular orbit around a much heavier body like the earth.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

a)  T² = (\frac{4\pi ^2}{GM})  r³

b) veloicity the dependency is the inverse of the root of the distance

kinetic energy  depends on the inverse of the distance

potential energy dependency is the inverse of distance

angular momentum depends directly on the root of the distance

Explanation:

1) for this exercise we will use Newton's second law

            F = ma

in this case the acceleration is centripetal

            a = v² / r

the linear and angular variable are related

           v = w r

we substitute

           a = w² r

force is the universal force of attraction

           F = G \frac{m M}{r^2}

we substitute

         G \frac{m M}{r^2} = m w^2 r

         w² = \frac{GM}{r^3}

angular velocity is related to frequency and period

         w = 2π f = 2π / T

we substitute

            ( \frac{2\pi }{T} ) = \frac{GM}{r^3}

the final equation is

             T² = ()  r³

b) the speed of the orbit can be found

           v = w r

            v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r^3} } \ r

            v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }

in this case the dependency is the inverse of the root of the distance

Kinetic energy

           K = ½ M v²

           K = ½ M GM / r

           K = ½ GM² 1 / r

the kinetic energy depends on the inverse of the distance

Potential energy

          U =

          U = -G mM / r

dependency is the inverse of distance

Angular momentum

          L = r x p

for a circular orbit

           L = r p = r Mv

           L =

         L =

The angular momentum depends directly on the root of the distance

A student is pushing a box across the room. To push the box three times farther, the student needs to do how much work?
Travka [436]

A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hai
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

900 W.      

Explanation:

Given that

Electric heater 1500 W

We know that power P given as

P= V I

So the total power of 120 V and 20 A circuit

P = 120 x 20

P= 2400 W

So the power new load P'

P'= Total system power(P)- Electric heater load

P ' = 2400 - 1500

P'= 900 W

So the answer is 900 W.
