Which change occurs when an atom undergoes decay?

Physics
1 answer:
Alina [70]3 years ago
6 0
<span>When an atom undergoes decay its nucleus becomes unstable because it does not have a balance of neurons and protons. This means the atoms try to find a confirmation in which it is stable. In doing so, it is possible that the atom changes its element, and it frees a huge amount of energy in order to balance itself. This is the base of radioactivity.</span>

How much work in joules is required to lift a 23 kg box up from the ground to your waist that is 1.0 meters high, carry it 6 met
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

2682

Explanation:

Work done is given by :

Work = Force x distance

         =  mg x d

So, work done in lifting the box of 23 kg up to my waist of 1 m high is :

W = mg x d

   = 23 x 9.18 x 1

   = 211.14

Now work done carrying the box horizontally 6 meters across the room is

W = mg x d

   = 23 x 9.18 x 6

   = 1266.84

Work done in placing the box on the shelf that is 5.7 m above the ground is

W = mg x d

   = 23 x 9.18 x 5.7

   = 1203.49

So the total work done is = 211.14 + 1266.84 + 1203.49

                                          = 2681.47

                                          = 2682 (rounding off)

According to newton's third law of motion, when a hammer strikes and exerts force to push it into a piece of wood, the nail
Darya [45]
According to newton's third law of motion, when a hammer strikes and exerts force to push it into a piece of wood, the nail <span>C. exerts an equal or opposite force on the hammer. The third law of motion states that every action has an equal BUT opposite reaction. This means that the nail exerts the same force the hammer exerts on it.</span>

You are raising up a big bucket of water from a 25.9 m deep well. The combined mass of the water and the bucket is 13.9 kg. The
Mars2501 [29]

The total work done is  5980 Joules and the power expended is 57 Watts.

<h3>What is work done?</h3>

The work done is the work done in the gravitational field as the bucket is raised up Thus work required to remove the bucket Wb;

Wb = 13.9 kg * 25.9 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3530 Joules

Height of the center of mass of chain = 25.9 / 2 = 12.95 m  

Work done by the chain Wc;

Wc = 12.95 * 19.3 * 9.8 = 2450 Joules  

Total work = 3530 + 2450 = 5980 Joules

Power expended = W / t = 5980 J / 105 sec = 57 J/s = 57 Watts
