This process shows alpha decay so X represents an alpha particle. The characteristic of alpha decay is that the mass number stays constant while the proton number increases.
Answer:
v_squid = - 2,286 m / s
Explanation:
This exercise can be solved using conservation of the moment, the system is made up of the squid plus the water inside, therefore the force to expel the water is an internal force and the moment is conserved.
Initial moment. Before expelling the water
p₀ = 0
the squid is at rest
Final moment. After expelling the water
= M V_squid + m v_water
p₀ = p_{f}
0 = M V_squid + m v_water
c_squid = -m v_water / M
The mass of the squid without water is
M = 9 -2 = 7 kg
let's calculate
v_squid = 2 8/7
v_squid = - 2,286 m / s
The negative sign indicates that the squid is moving in the opposite direction of the water
Answer:To ensure a safe and thrilling jump you will determine the relationship between the jump height and the
number of rubber bands used to make the bungee cord. You must allow your Barbie doll to come as
close to the floor as possible without sustaining any injuries or fatalities.
Explanation:
Verrrrry interesting !
If the moon were replaced by something with a vastly greater mass
but at the same distance, then ...
-- The period of its revolution around the Earth would be much shorter.
That is, it would orbit the Earth in much less than 27.3 days. We might
see it go through a complete set of phases in 2 weeks, or even 1 week.
-- The ocean tides would be much greater. Low tides would be
much lower, and high tides would be much higher.
-- Sadly, the land tides, and the forces on the Earth's internal structure,
would also be much greater. That means great increases in earthquake
and volcanic activity.
-- The Earth and moon both revolve around their common center of
mass. Under the current arrangement ... with the Earth having 80 times
the mass of the Moon ... that point is inside the Earth, and it looks a lot
like the Moon is orbiting a stationary Earth.
When the new body arrives to replace the lightweight Moon, that point
will be a lot closer to the new companion ... maybe even inside it.
Then, it will look a lot like the monster is the stationary one, and the
Earth is orbiting it.
I actually don't believe that we would SEE that change, or feel it.
