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.

9. A 50 kg physics i student trudges from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor, going up a total height of 13 m.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

6370 J

Explanation:

By the law of energy conservation, the work done by the student would be the change in potential enegy from 1st floor to 3rd floor, or a change of 13 m

W = E_p = mgh

where m = 50kg is the mass of the student, g = 9.8 m/s2 is the gravitational constant and h = 13 m is the height difference

W = 50*9.8*13 = 6370 J

A pursuit spacecraft from the planet Tatooine is attempting to catch up with a Trade Federation cruiser. As measured by an obser
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

0.384c

Explanation:

To find the speed of the pursuit ship relative to the cruiser you use the following relativistic equation:

u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}

u': relative speed

u: speed of the pursuit ship = 0.8c

v: speed of the cruiser = 0.6c

c: speed of light

You replace the values of the parameters to obtain u':

u'=\frac{0.8c-0.6c}{1-\frac{(0.6c)(0.8c)}{c^2}}=0.384c

Hence, the relative speed is 0.384c

You are an astronaut floating alongside your space ship. If you throw a baseball with a speed of 10 m/s, you will move at:
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

There is no friction to stop you from moving BC you are in space, however you have a larger mass than the ball, so it takes more force to get you up to the same speed as the baseball. You will move in the opposite direction of the ball because you exerted force on the ball in one direction and therefore yourself in the opposing direction.

How are magnetic and electric fields similar?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields: ... Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges). Like poles repel; unlike poles attract. Electric field points in the direction of the force experienced by a positive charge ...

Explanation:

copied and pasted from google. I copied and pasted your question into google and got this exact answer

Here is another thing from the same website just not shortened:

Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields:

- Electric fields are produced by two kinds of charges, positive and negative. Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges).

- Like poles repel; unlike poles attract

- Electric field points in the direction of the force experienced by a positive charge. Magnetic field points in the direction of the force experienced by a north pole.

Differences between magnetic fields and electric fields:

- Positive and negative charges can exist separately. North and south poles always come together. Single magnetic poles, known as magnetic monopoles, have been proposed theoretically, but a magnetic monopole has never been observed.

- Electric field lines have definite starting and ending points. Magnetic field lines are continuous loops. Outside a magnet the field is directed from the north pole to the south pole. Inside a magnet the field runs from south to north.
