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

What occurs when someone places an ice pack on an injured ankle?
erica [24]

The answer is:

Heat from the ankle is transferred to the ice pack.

The explanation:

-when the ice pack  a lower temp than the ankle , it is very cool.

- and the injured ankle has a high temp or heat

and we know that Q transfer from the object with high heat to the object with the low temp So,

Heat will transfer from the ankle to the ice pack.

Why does apparent depth of different liquids vary
Anvisha [2.4K]
It’s due to the refraction of light rays as they traverse the boundary between water and air. The greater the viewing angle, the more the bending of the light and therefore the less the apparent depth. An object placed in a denser medium, when viewed from rarer medium appears to be at a lesser depth than its real depth due to refraction of light.

When checking the charging system on a late-model vehicle: Technician A connects a scan tool to monitor the system voltage outpu
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

C) Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

The scan tool may include a bi-directional control that allows the technician to control the output of the alternator for testing purposes.

The Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), are used by automobile manufacturers to diagnose problems related to the vehicle.

The scan tool can also be used to monitor the output voltage of the vehicle to verify if the correct amount of voltage is supplied by the alternator.

Both Technicians A and B are correct because the steps they both take are necessary for the diagnosis of the vehicle.

I need help with the following question, I am confused!. A block of material has a volume of 2 m3. It has a mass of 1 × 10^4 kg.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
To approximate the density of the block of material, we use the data on mass and the volume of the substance. Density is the mass of a substance over the volume it occupies. The given is 1 x 10^4 kg mass and a volume of 2 m3. We divide the two and get 5000 kg/m3 or 5 g/cm3.
