Periodic waves spread out over the surface of a lake where two women, Jenny and Melissa, are fishing in separate boats 46 meters

apart. Each woman's boat bobs up and down 26/min. At a time when Jenny's boat is at a crest, Melissa's boat is at its lowest point, and there are 4 additional crests between them. Calculate the wavelength of these water waves.

Answer:

The wavelength of the water is \lambda = 10.22 m

Explanation:

From the question awe are told that

                The distance between the two boats are 46 m

   Now we are told that a the time the Jenny's boat is at a crest,Melissa's boat is at its lowest point, and there are 4 additional crests between them which can be mathematically represented as

                         Number of wavelength = 4 + 0.5(this accounts for the difference in position crest and lowest point)

                                                              = 4.5

Now the wavelength of the water is \lambda = \frac{Distance }{Number \ of \ division }

                                                                 = \frac{46}{4.5} =10.22m

Phosphorus-32, a radioactive isotope of phosphorus-31 (atomic number 15), undergoes a form of radioactive decay whereby a neutro
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The product of the decay its Sulfur-32

Explanation:

Phosphorus-32 ( lets write it _{15}^{32}P, where the number above its the atomic mass and the number below the atomic number) decays turning a neutron into a proton and emitting radiation on the form of a electron. This is the beta minus decay, and, actually, an electronic antineutrino its also produced. We can write this decay for an X isotope with a Y isotope produced as:

_{Z}^{A}X \to _{Z+1}^{A}Y + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}

where e^- its the electron, and \bar{\nu_e} the electronic antineutrino . We can see that the atomic number increases by one (cause a proton it produced and retained into the nucleus), and the atomic mass is approximately the same (there is a small difference between the neutron and proton mass, but its very small).

So, Phosphorus-32 (atomic number 15) will turn to an element with atomic number 16, and atomic mass 32, as:

_{15}^{32}P \to _{15+1}^{32}Y + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}.

_{15}^{32}P \to _{16}^{32}Y + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}.

The Y isotope must have an atomic number of 16 and an atomic mass of 32. The element with atomic number 16 its Sulfur (S), so, our decay its

_{15}^{32}P \to _{16}^{32}S + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}.

and the product of such decay its Sulfur-32

How do i find the number of leptons in an atom??
Serjik [45]

Answer:

In particle physics, a lepton is an elementary particle of half-integer spin (spin 1⁄2) that does not undergo strong interactions.[1] Two main classes of leptons exist: charged leptons (also known as the electron-like leptons or muons), and neutral leptons (better known as neutrinos). Charged leptons can combine with other particles to form various composite particles such as atoms and positronium, while neutrinos rarely interact with anything, and are consequently rarely observed. The best known of all leptons is the electron.

What information do you think the temperatures of stars give us?
Paul [167]

Explanation:

One way of classifying stars is by their temperature .

or

Science strives to be able to describe how stars and planets form and evolve. This requires theories to describe the processes which include:

Star and planet formation

Star and planet composition

Stellar and solar system evolution

The nuclear processes happening inside stars

The scientific method means that all theories are put to the test. By measuring or calculating the temperature, age and composition of other planets and stars the theories can be tested. If observed values of these parameters are not predicted by theories, then the theories are wrong and need to be revised or replaced.

You throw a glove straight upward to celebrate a victory. Its initial kinetic energy is K and it reaches a maximum height h. Wha
Rasek [7]

Answer:

K/2

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mechanical energy states that the sum of the kinetic and potential energies is a constant at any point.

At maximum height, the glove has purely potential energy but at the bottom, it has purely kinetic energy.

The potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom. The potential energy is given by

PE = mgh

At half height, this potential energy is

PE = \frac{1}{2}mgh

At this height, PE + KE = Constant = KE at bottom or PE at maximum height.

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mgh +KE

KE = \frac{1}{2}mgh = K/2
