The official web site of the Nobel Prize explains that Marie Curie’s chemistry prize was partly for her discovery that the radioactivity of a substance is unaffected when it undergoes a chemical reaction. The discovery implied was that, Radioactivity involves Radioactivity involves only neutrons.
Explanation:
- The official web site of the Nobel Prize explains that Marie Curie’s chemistry prize was partly for her discovery that the radioactivity of a substance is unaffected when it undergoes a chemical reaction. The discovery implied was that, Radioactivity involves only neutrons.
- Marie Curie studied about the radiation of all compounds containing the known radioactive elements, including uranium and thorium, which she later discovered that they were radioactive.
- she discovered the following results,
- the exact measurement of the strength of the radiation from uranium;
- the intensity of the radiation was found to be proportional to the amount of uranium or thorium in the compound .
- the ability to emit radiation is not dependent on the arrangement of the atoms in a molecule;
- it must be linked to the interior of the atom itself which is a revolutionary discovery.
Answer:
(a) 2.5 m/s
(b) 37.5 KJ
Explanation:
(a)
From the law of conservation of momentum, Initial momentum=Final momentum

and making
the subject then
and since
is initial velocity of car, value given as 4 m/s,
is the initial velocity of the three cars stuck together, value given as 2 m/s and
is the final velocity which is unknown. By substitution

(b)
Initial kinetic energy is given by

Final kinetic energy is given by

The energy lost is given by subtracting the final kinetic energy from the initial kinetic energy hence
Energy lost=350-312.5=37.5 KJ
Answer:
Mechanical Energy
Explanation:
The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of an object is its total mechanical energy.
Answer:
176,000 N
Explanation:
Newton's second law:
∑F = ma
F = (4 × 40,000 kg) (1.1 m/s²)
F = 176,000 N
The answer is A. Or the first option. Pressure is changed by lowering the pressure, not reducing the volume. You would assume its C but its A.
