Explanation:

Most objects tend to contains nearly equal numbers of negative and positive charges as it is most stable state. In this case, the object does not want to lose or gain electrons in order to get stable.

The repulsive or attractive electrical forces tend to cancel each other.

There are an equal number of positive and negative charges which make the object electrically neutral.

If the object has more negative charge than the positive charge then it makes the object most unstable or vice versa.

<span>Most objects tend to contain the same numbers of positive and negative charge because this is the most stable situation. In fact, if an object has an excess of positive charge, it tends to attract an equal number of negative charges to balance this effect and restore neutrality: the attracted negative charges combine with the excess of positive charges, leaving the object electrically neutral.</span>

When a beta minus decay occurs in an unstable nucleus, what happens to the atomic number of the nucleus?The atomic number increa

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The atomic number increases by 1.

Explanation:

The beta minus decay is a process in which a neutron decays into a proton, emitting an electron and an anti-neutrino:

$n \rightarrow p + e + \bar{\nu}$

If this process occurs inside an unstable nucleus, we notice that:

- a neutron is converted into a proton, therefore

- the number of neutrons decreases by 1 and the number of protons increases by 1

Keep in mind that the atomic number of a nucleus corresponds to the number of protons it contains: therefore, since this number increases by 1, then the atomic number increases by 1.

An airliner lands with a speed of 50.0 m/s. Each wheelof the

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

0.52378

Explanation:

V = Velocity = 50 m/s

r = Radius = 1.25 m

I = Moment of inertia = 110 kgm²

N = Weight supported by wheels = 14000 N

The angular velocity

$\omega=\dfrac{V}{r}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{50}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow \omega=40\ rad/s$

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{40-0}{0.48}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=83.33\ rad/s^2$

Frictional force is given by

$f=\dfrac{I\alpha}{r}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{110\times 83.33}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow f=7333.04\ N$

The coefficient of friction is given by

$\mu=\dfrac{f}{N}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{7333.039}{14000}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.52378$

The coefficient of friction is 0.52378

We can study how galaxies evolve because ______.A) Galaxies are transparent to visible light.B) We are really smart astronomers.

saul85 [17]

We can study how galaxies evolve because the farther away we look, the further back in time we see.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

As the galaxies are located far away from us and also as per the broad band theory, these galaxies are spreading as the time goes. So as time passes, the galaxies are moving further light years away.

So depending upon the time taken for the light waves to reach Earth from these galaxies will state the time they have evolved. So the farther or more lately the light reaches the earth surface, the further time back we can see its evolution. Thus option d is correct choice.
