An electron is emitted in both positive and negative beta decay, although the positive one is called positron emission.

Answer:The correct answer is an electron.

Explanation:

Beta decay : In this process, a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron. In this decay, the atomic number is increased by 1 unit.

General representation of beta decay :

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}Y+_{-1}^0e

Where as:

Alpha decay : When a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha particle. In this process, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

General representation of alpha decay :

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\alpha

Gamma decay : In this process, the unstable nuclei transformed into stable nuclei by releasing gamma rays. In this process, the mass number remains same.

General representation of gamma decay :

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma.

A ball has a mass of 1.5kg and is thrown straight up with a speed of 60m/s, what is the ball’s momentum:
madam [21]

Answer:

Assumption: the air resistance on this ball is negligible. Take g = 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

a. The momentum of the ball would be approximately 60\;\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1} two seconds after it is tossed into the air.

b. The momentum of the ball would be approximately \rm \left(-45\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}\right) three seconds after it reaches the highest point (assuming that it didn't hit the ground.) This momentum is smaller than zero because it points downwards.

Explanation:

The momentum p of an object is equal its mass m times its velocity v. That is: \vec{p} = m \cdot \vec{v}.

Assume that the air resistance on this ball is negligible. If that's the case, then the ball would accelerate downwards towards the ground at a constant g \approx -10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}. In other words, its velocity would become approximately 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} more negative every second.

The initial velocity of the ball is 60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. After two seconds, its velocity would have become 60\;\rm m \cdot s^{-1} + 2\; \rm s \times \left(-10\;\rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right) = 40\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. The momentum of the ball at that time would be around p = m \cdot v \approx 60\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}.

When the ball is at the highest point of its trajectory, the velocity of the ball would be zero. However, the ball would continue to accelerate downwards towards the ground at a constant g \approx -10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}. That's how the ball's velocity becomes negative.

After three more seconds, the velocity of the ball would be 0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} + 3\; \rm s \times \left(-10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right) = -30 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. Accordingly, the ball's momentum at that moment would be p = m \cdot v \approx \left(-45\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}\right).

Choose the situation below in which the force applied is the greatest.
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

We know the formula for Work to be:

W = f * d

Where W is work done

f is force

d is the distance

A)

Work = 50

Distance = 50

So, Force is:

Force = 50/50 = 1

B)

Work = 400

Distance = 80

Force = 400/80 = 5

C)

Work = 365

Distance = 73

Force = 365/73 = 5

D)

Work = 144

Distance = 16

Force = 144/16 = 9

Hence, D is the situation in which the force applied is the greatest.
