A polonium isotope with an atomic mass of 211.988868 u undergoes alpha decay, resulting in a daughter isotope with an atomic mas

s of 207.976652 u. Ignoring any recoil of the daughter, find the kinetic energy of the emitted alpha particle in megaelectronvolts (MeV).

Answer:

 K = 9.53 MeV

Explanation:

The kinetic energy that the alpha particle has emitted, is the energy in excess after removing the resting energy of the atoms and the helium nucleus that forms the alpha particle

Since energy and masses are related and cannot be

          m₀ c² = m_{f} c² + m_He c²+ K

          K = c² (m₀ - m_{f} - m_He)

           

the mass of the Helium atom is 4 u

           K = (3 10⁸)² (211,988868 -207.976652 - 4,002) 1,661 10⁻²⁷

           K = 14,949 10⁻¹¹ (0.0102)

             

          K = 1,527 10⁻¹² J

let's reduce 1 J = 6,242 10¹² MeV

           K = 9.53 MeV

Long Snorkel: Inhalation of a breath occurs when the muscles surrounding the human lungs move to increase the volume of the lung
Mila [183]

Answer:

h = 0.362 m

Explanation:

The pressure equation with depth is

      P₂ = P_{atm} +ρ g h

The gauge pressure is

       P2 -  P_{atm} = ρ g h

This is the pressure that muscles can create

       P₂ -  P_{atm}= 3740 Pa

But still the person needs a small pressure for the transfer of gases, so

      P₂ -  P_{atm} = 3740 - 188 = 3552 Pa

This is the maximum pressure difference, where the person can still breathe,

Let's clear the height

      h = 3552 / ρ g

      h = 3552 / (1000 9.8)

      h = 0.362 m

This is the maximum depth where the person can still breathe normally.

Your starship, the Aimless Wanderer,lands on the mysterious planet Mongo. As chief scientist-engineer,you make the following mea
Setler [38]

Answer:

a)  M = 4,997 10²⁰ kg ,  b)   T = 1.43 10³ s

Explanation:

a) This exercise should be solved in several parts, let's start by calculating the acceleration of gravity of this planet from kinematics

          v = v₀ - a t

As it indicates that there is no atmosphere, the friction force is zero and the initial and final velocity have the same module, but the opposite direction

         a = (v₀ - v) / t

         a = (15 - (-15)) /9.00 = 30/9

         a = 3.33 m / s²

Now we use Newton's second law where force is the force of universal attraction

          F = m a

         G m M / r² = m a

         M = a r² / G

Let's calculate

         M = 3.33 (1.00 10⁵)² / 6.67 10⁻¹¹

         M = 4,997 10²⁰ kg

b) The period of the ship's orbit

In this case we have a centripetal acceleration

The radius of the orbit is the radius of the plant plus the height of the ship from the surface

         R = R_{m} + h

         R = 1 10⁵ + 2.00 10⁴

         R = 12 10⁴ m

         F = m a

        G m M / R² = m a

Centripetal acceleration is

         a = v² / R

The orbit is circular therefore the velocity module is constant, so we can use the equation of uniform motion, where the distance is the length of the orbit, for a circle

        d = 2π R

        v = d / t

        v = 2π R / T

Let's replace

        G m M / R² = m (2π R / T)² / R

        G M = R³ 4π² / T²

        T² = 4π² R³ / G M

       T² = (4π² (12 10⁴)³ / (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 4,997 10²⁰)

       T² = 6.82 10¹⁶ / 3.33 10¹⁰

       T = √ (2,048 10⁶)

       T = 1.43 10³ s

Are temperature and thermal energy the same thing justify your answer
Sever21 [200]
Temperature is the measurement of the average energy of the particles in a solid, liquid or gas and thermal energy is the total energy in a set amount of solid, liquid or gas. Therefore, the temperature and thermal energy is not the same thing. They are both about the particle theory, which is a theory that all particles of solid, liquid or gas are always in motion. But the difference between the two is that temperature is the "measurement" of the particles in a solid, liquid or gas and the thermal energy is the total energy in a set amount of solid, liquid or gas.
