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 person jumps out a fourth-story window 14 m above a firefighter safety net. The survivor stretches the net 1.8 m before coming
Monica [59]

Answer:

The deceleration is  a =  - 76.27 m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height above  firefighter safety net is H  = 14 \ m

   The length by which the net is stretched is s =  1.8 \ m

   

From the law of energy conservation

    KE_T + PE_T =  KE_B + PE_B

 Where KE_T is the kinetic energy of the person before jumping which equal to zero(because to kinetic energy at maximum height )

   and  PE_T is the potential energy of the before jumping  which is mathematically represented at

          PE_T  = mg H

and  KE_B is the kinetic energy of the person just before landing on the safety net  which is mathematically represented at

        KE_B = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

and  PE_B is the potential energy of the person as he lands on the safety net which has a value of zero (because it is converted to kinetic energy )

   So the above equation becomes

          mgH =  \frac{1}{2} m v^2

=>           v =  \sqrt{2 gH }

    substituting values

                v =  16.57 m/s

Applying the equation o motion

             v_f =  v  + 2 a s

Now the final velocity is zero because the person comes to rest

      So

         0 = 16.57 + 2 * a * 1.8

            a =  - \frac{16.57^2 }{2 * 1.8}

            a =  - 76.27 m/s^2

What mission is underway to observe pluto?
liubo4ka [24]

The answer is; NASA's New Horizons spacecraft

It was launched in 2006 from Cape Canaveral and engineered by the Johns Hopkins University. The spacecraft has flown past Pluto, collected data and is now exploring the Kuiper belt object. The mission involved mapping of the planet's surface and check for atmosphere.

Why are weight and mass used synonymously on earth?
Lisa [10]
Weight and mass are used synonymously on earth because the value of g is constant on the earth because the weight of a body is the amount of force exerted by the Earths gravity on an object of finite mass. And, the mass of an object gives the amount of matter in the body and is measured in kilograms.
