Goryan [66]3 years ago
8 0

A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment.

Radioactive carbon, or C-14, is used to date fossil remains. When C-14 decays, as seen in the nuclear equation, it produces what
olga nikolaevna [1]
The reaction of radiodecay of carbon C-14 is
C-14 --> N-14 + e- + (ve)
where e- is an electron and (ve) is an electron-type antineutrino.
Basically, when the carbon nucleus (atomic number: 6, mass number: 14) decays, a neutron of the nucleus converts into a proton (therefore, the mass number remains the same, 14, but the atomic number increases by 1, therefore it becomes nitrogen) and releases an electron-antineutrino pair. 

So, the correct answer is C), N-14.

In a nuclear fusion reaction two 2H atoms are combined to produce one 4He.
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

a)= 0.025602u

b) = 23.848MeV

c) N = 1.546 × 10¹³

Explanation:

The reaction is

²₁H   +   ²₁H   ⇄   ⁴₂H + Q

a) The mass difference is

Δm = 2m(²₁H) - m (⁴₂H)

       = 2(2.014102u) - 4.002602u

        = 0.025602u

b) Use the Einstein mass energy relation ship

The enegy  release is the mass difference times 931.5MeV/U

E = (0.025602) (931.5)

   = 23.848MeV

c)

the number of reaction need per seconds is

N = Q/E

     = 59W/ 23.848MeV

  = \frac{59}{(23.848 \times 10^6 )(1.6 \times 10^1^9) } \\\\= 1.546 \times 10^1^3

N = 1.546 × 10¹³

According to Newton’s first law of motion, when will an object at rest begin to move?
soldi70 [24.7K]

2. When an unbalanced force acts upon it

Think of a glass of milk resting on a table. The glass weighs a certain amount more due to the load it carries. It would be unaffected until and unbalanced force (such as a hand) carelessly knocks it over spilling the contents.

Hope this helps :)
