Complete Question

What type of decay is illustrated by the equation below?

²¹⁴₈₃Bi → ²¹⁴₈₄Po + ⁰₋₁e

- alpha decay

- beta decay

- positron emission

- electron capture

Solution

The type of radioactive decay is usually discernable from studying the products and reactants (the parent nucleus/atom, the daughter nucleus and the emitted or absorbed particles) of the radioactive decay.

The changes in atomic and mass numbers is accounted for in the particular particle that that is emitted and subsequently termed the type of radioactive decay that is going on.

For example, this equation represented shows that the Bi atom splits into a Po and a Beta particle. Hence, it is easy and straight forward to see that this radioactive decay is to relaese a Beta particle and the decay is a Beta decay.

(Note that, just as presented in the equation, a Beta particle has a mass number of 0 and an atomic number -1, kind of similar to an electron).

- An alpha decay releases an alpha particle.

- A beta decay releases a Beta particle.

- A positron emission releases a positron.

- An electron capture involves an electron attacking the parent atom/nucleus or the reactant.

Hope this Helps!!!

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu

ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, $qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}$

$1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}$

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight and the above equation will be as follows.

$(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}$

v = $sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}$

= 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.

An ion in a mass spectrometer follows a semicircular path of radius 14.8. What is the distance it travels?

aleksklad [387]

The circumference of a circle is (2π · the circle's radius).

The length of a semi-circle is (1π · the circle's radius) =

(π · 14.8) = 46.5 (rounded)

(The unit is the same as whatever the unit of the 14.8 is.)

<span>h ( t) = h(1 sec) = -16t^2 + 541

so h (2 sec) = -16*(2)^2 + 541 = -64 + 541 = <span>477 ft

8) Find the X and Y component of 10degree vector that has 5N.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Fx = 4.92 [N]

Fy = 0.868 [N]

Explanation:

Let's take the 10 degrees as a measure from the horizontal component to the vector.

Thus taking the components in the X & y axes respectively:

Fx = 5*cos(10) = 4.92 [N]

Fy = 5*sin(10) = 0.868 [N]
