Arsenic is Element Number 33 ... it has 33 protons in its nucleus.

You're correct that the stable isotope of the atom is the one with
42 neutrons, for a total Atomic Weight of 75.

Atoms of Arsenic also exist with 41 neutrons and 40 neutrons
in their nucleus, but those are unstable.

The nucleus with 41 neutrons (Atomic Weight = 74) has a 50% chance
of falling apart and becoming a nucleus of Germanium within 80 days.

The nucleus with 40 neutrons (Atomic Weight = 73) has a 50% chance
of falling apart and becoming a nucleus of Germanium within 18 days.

Give reason for the following:

a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. <u>This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.</u>

b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground <u>because of gravitational attraction force of earth</u>.

c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes <u>because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.</u>

d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide <u>because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.</u>

e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits <u>so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.</u>

f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base <u>so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding</u>.

At the end of cylindrical rod of length l = 1 m and mass M = 1 kg rotating horizontaly along the vertical axis in its center wit
matrenka [14]

Answer:

w = 0.943 rad / s

Explanation:

For this problem we can use the law of conservation of angular momentum

       

Starting point. With the mouse in the center

            L₀ = I w₀

Where The moment of inertia (I) of a rod that rotates at one end is

         I = 1/3 M L²

Final point. When the mouse is at the end of the rod

          L_{f} = I w + m L² w

As the system is formed by the rod and the mouse, the forces during the movement are internal, therefore the angular momentum is conserved

        L₀ = L_{f}

        I w₀ = (I + m L²) w

        w = I / I + m L²) w₀

We substitute the moment of inertia

        w  = 1/3 M L² / (1/3 M + m) L²    w₀

        w = 1 / 3M / (M / 3 + m) w₀

We substitute the values

      w = 1/3 / (1/3 + 0.02) w₀

      w = 0.943 w₀

To finish the calculation the initial angular velocity value is needed, if we assume that this value is w₀ = 1 rad / s

        w = 0.943 rad / s
