When does radioactive decay occur

Physics
1 answer:
castortr0y [4]3 years ago
8 0

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 human hair is approximately 56 µm in diameter.
Ann [662]

Answer:

The diameter is 0.000056 m

Explanation:

Lets explain the relation between the meter and the micrometer

1 Meter is equal to 1000000 (one million) micrometers

1 micrometer = \frac{1}{1000000}=\frac{1}{10^{6}}=10^{-6}

The symbol of the meter is m

The symbol of micrometer is μm

A human hair is approximately 56 µm in diameter

We need to express this diameter in meter

To do that we divide this number by 1,000,000 or multiply it by 10^{-6}

→ \frac{56}{1000000}=0.000056  56 µm = 0.000056 m

→ OR

→ 56*10^{-6}=0.000056

→ 56 µm = 0.000056 m

<em>The diameter is 0.000056 m</em>

Describe an object’s motion when balanced forces act on it
Alinara [238K]

Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal

The net torce on an object moving with constant speed in circular motion is in which direction?
aleksley [76]

The correct answer is C) towards the center of the circle.

Although the object is moving at a constant speed it is constantly accelerating due to the constant change in direction as it describes the circular path. This causes a constant change in velocity as velocity is a vector quantity.

For the object to maintain the circular path there has to be centripetal force acting on the object and this centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle.

A 1.50 cm high diamond ring is placed 20.0 cm from a concave mirror with radius of curvature 30.00 cm. The magnification is ____
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Magnification, m = -0.42

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height of diamond ring, h = 1.5 cm

Object distance, u = -20 cm

Radius of curvature of concave mirror, R = 30 cm

Focal length of mirror, f = R/2 = -15 cm (focal length is negative for concave mirror)

Using mirror's formula :

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}, f = focal length of the mirror

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{-15}+\dfrac{1}{-20}

v = -8.57 cm

The magnification of a mirror is given by,

m=\dfrac{-v}{u}

m=\dfrac{-(-8.57)}{-20}

m = -0.42

So, the magnification of the concave mirror is 0.42. Thew negative sign shows that the image is inverted.
