Beta decay is exclusively the emission of electrons ... or its
oppositely charged relative, the positron ... from an atomic
nucleus.

Beta-minus is the emission of an electron, with a negative charge.

The change in the mass of the nucleus, if any, is minuscule.
The mass number of a nucleus is the sum of its protons and
neutrons, and the mass of an emitted electron is something
like 0.0005 the mass of one of those.

Steam enters a well-insulated nozzle at 200 lbf/in.2 , 500F, with a velocity of 200 ft/s and exits at 60 lbf/in.2 with a velocit

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

$386.2^{\circ}F$

Explanation:

We are given that

$P_1=200lbf/in^2$

$P_2=60lbf/in^2$

$v_1=200ft/s$

$v_2=1700ft/s$

$T_1=500^{\circ}F$

$Q=0$

$C_p=1BTU/lb^{\circ}F$

We have to find the exit temperature.

By steady energy flow equation

$h_1+v^2_1+Q=h_2+v^2_2$

$C_pT_1+\frac{P^2_1}{25037}+Q=C_pT_2+\frac{P^2_2}{25037}$

$1BTU/lb=25037ft^2/s^2$

Substitute the values

$1\times 500+\frac{(200)^2}{25037}+0=1\times T_2+\frac{(1700)^2}{25037}$

$500+1.598=T_2+115.4$

$T_2=500+1.598-115.4$

$T_2=386.2^{\circ}F$

A quantity that has direction as well as size is a scalar.<br><br><br> True or False

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A quantity that does not depend on the direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude, and a direction. Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. When comparing two vector quantities of the same type, you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction.

Scalar quantities only have magnitude (size). Scalar quantities include distance...

A quantity that is specified by both size and direction is a vector. Displacement includes both size and direction and is an example of a vector. However, distance is a physical quantity that does not include a direction and isn't a vector.

hope this helps...

A 75.0-kg ice skater moving at 10.0 m/s crashes into a stationary skater of equal mass. After the collision, the two skaters mov

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum change for either skater is mΔv = 75.0(5.0) = 375 kg•m/s

As a change in momentum is equal to an impulse

375 = FΔt

F = 375/0.100 = 3750 N

As 3750 N < 4500 N no bones are broken.

A biker first accelerates from 0.0 m/s to 6.0 m/s in 6 s, then continues at this speed for 5 s. What is the total distance trave

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

48m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Final velocity = 6m/s

Time, t = 6 secs

Time, T2 = 5 secs

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

$Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}$

Substituting into the equation;

$a = \frac{6 - 0}{6}$

$a = \frac{6}{6}$

Acceleration, a = 1m/s²

<u>To find the distance covered in the first phase;</u>

<em>Solving for distance, we would use the second equation of motion;</em>

$S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}$

<em>Substituting the values into the equation;</em>

$S = 0(6) + \frac {1}{2}*1*(6)^{2}$

$S = 0 + \frac {1}{2}*1*36$

$S = 0.5 *36$

Distance, S1 = 18m

<u>For the second phase, time T2 = 5 secs;</u>

<em>Mathematically, speed is given by the equation;</em>

$Speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

<em>Making distance the subject of formula, we have;</em>

$Distance, S = speed * time$

<em>Substituting into the above equation;</em>

$Distance, S = 6 * 5$

Distance, S2 = 30m

Total distance = S1 + S2 = 18m + 30m = 48m

Total distance = 48m

<em>Therefore, the total distance traveled by the biker is 48m.</em>
