Answer:

C.when the nucleus decays

Explanation:

In chemical reactions, the outermost electrons of atoms are re-arranged somehow without the involvement of the nuclei of the participating atoms of the elements.

Nuclear reactions causes changes within the atomic nucleus. For every atomic nucleus, a specific neutron/proton ratio ensures stability. When the stability ratio differs an atom becomes unstable and splits into one or more other nuclei with the emission of small particles of matter. This is what radioactivity entails.

A 67 Vrms source is placed across a load that consists of a 12 ohm resistor in series with an capacitor whose reactance is 5 ohm

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

a) The average true power is 318.3 W

b) The reactive power is 132.6 W

c) The apparent power is 344.8 W

d) The power factor is 0.92

Explanation:

For a circuit made of a resistor and a capacitor, the average (true) power is given by the resistive part of the circuit only.

Therefore, the average true power is given by:

$P=I^2R$

where

I is the current

R is the resistance

In this problem, we have

V = 67 V (rms voltage)

$R=12 \Omega$ is the resistance of the load

$X=5\Omega$ is the reactance of the circuit

First we have to find the impedance of the circuit:

$Z=\sqrt{R^2+X^2}=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}=13 \Omega$

Then we can find the current in the circuit by using Ohm's law:

$I=\frac{V}{Z}=\frac{67}{13}=5.15 A$

Therefore, the average true power is

$P=I^2R=(5.15)^2(12)=318.3 W$

The reactive power of a circuit consisting of a resistor and a capacitor is the power given by the capacitive part of the circuit.

Therefore, it is given by

$Q=I^2X$

where

I is the current

X is the reactance of the circuit

In this circuit, we have

$I=5.15 A$ (current)

$X=5 \Omega$ (reactance)

Therefore, the reactive power is

$Q=(5.15)^2(5)=132.6W$

In a circuit with a resistor and a capacitor, the apparent power is given by both the resistive and capacitive part of the circuit.

Therefore, it is given by

$S=I^2Z$

where

I is the current

Z is the impedance of the circuit

Here we have

I = 5.15 A (current)

$Z=13 \Omega$ (impedance)

Therefore, the apparent power is

$S=I^2 Z=(5.15)^2(13)=344.8 W$

For a circuit with a resistor and a capacitor, the power factor is the ratio between the true power and the apparent power. Mathematically:

$PF=\frac{P}{S}$

where

P is the true power

S is the apparent power

For this circuit, we have

P = 318.3 W (true power)

S = 344.8 W (apparent power)

So, the power factor is

$PF=\frac{318.3}{344.8}=0.92$

In each of the four situations below an object is experiencing (nearly) uniform circular motion. State what force is providing t

Stells [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that a centripetal force is a form of force that gives rise or causes a body to move in a curved path.

Hence;

1. When a car is being driven around a track, it is the FORCE OF FRICTION that is acting upon the turned wheels of the vehicle, which transforms into the centripetal force required for circular motion.

2. When a ball being is swung on the end of a string, TENSION FORCE acts upon the ball, which transforms the centripetal force required for circular motion.

3. When the moon is orbiting the earth, it is the FORCE OF GRAVITY acting upon the moon, which transforms the centripetal force required for circular motion.

4. A rotating wheel on the other hand has NO centripetal force because centripetal force is pull towards the center of a motion. However the speed of the object is tangent to the circle, while the direction of the force is also perpendicular to the direction of the rotating wheel.
