Given:
Stopping distance range is d = (65, 70) ft.

The stopping distance, d, obeys this formula.
d = v²/(2μg)
where
v = speed of the vehicle
μ = 0.8, coefficient of static friction under good road conditions
g =  acceleration due to gravity, 32.2 ft/s²

Therefore
v = √(2*0.8*32.2*d) = 7.178√d

Test d = 65 ft.
v = 7.178√(65) = 57.87 ft/s = (57.87/88)*60 = 39.5 mph

Test d = 70 ft.
v = 7.178√(70) = 60.05 ft/s = 40.9 mph

To be safe, the lower speed of 39.5 mph is preferred.

Answer: 40 mph

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
