The impulse exerted by the ball on the bat is THE SAME
When more than one force acts upon an object, the vector sum of these forces is the resultant force. When the resultant force on an object is zero, it will remain at rest if it is at rest, or continue to move in a straight line at a constant velocity if it is in motion. ... That is, there is zero acceleration.
Answer:
The force of the radiation on the surface is 3.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ N
Explanation:
Given;
intensity of light, I = 1kw/m² = 1000 W/m²
area of the surface, A = 1 cm² = 1 x 10⁻⁴ m²
Since the light is completely absorbed, the force of the radiation is given by;
F = P/c
where;
c is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
But P = IA
F = IA /c
F = (1000 X 1 X 10⁻⁴) / 3 x 10⁸
F = 3.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ N
Therefore, the force of the radiation on the surface is 3.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ N
Question:
A. Engineer A: "When the sample alpha decays, it will give off alpha particles. These will
trigger a photosensor (a device that senses forms of light) that will open the lock."
B. Engineer B: "When the sample alpha decays, it only releases large amounts of heat.
This will trigger a thermometer that will open the lock."
C. Engineer C: "When the sample alpha decays, it will lose mass, This will trigger a scale
that will open the lock."
D. Engineer D: "When the sample alpha decays, it will give off negatively charged alpha
particles. Because alpha particles are electrons, they will complete a circuit that will
open the lock."
Answer:
The correct option is;
A. Engineer A: "When the sample alpha decays, it will give off alpha particles. These will trigger a photosensor ( a device that senses forms of light) that will open the lock"
Explanation:
Here, we note that in alpha decay (α-decay) there is an emission of an alpha particle or helium nucleus with the transformation of the parent element nucleus into that of a different element, having reduced mass and atomic numbers
Alpha particles are a form of ionizing radiation with a mass of 6.64 × 10⁻²⁷ kg and therefore they can be sensed by a photo sensor but will be slowly sensed by a scale.
