Which answer shows a balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of plutonium-239

Physics
1 answer:
Setler [38]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

When plutonium - 239 undergoes an alpha decay, it produces uranium - 235 in the process.

A radioactive occurs when a nuclide spontaneously disintegrates due to instability to produce lighter atoms which the release of radiation and energy.

    ²³⁹₉₄Pu    ⇒    ²³⁵₉₂U    +   ⁴₂He    +   energy

In a nuclear reaction, the mass and atomic numbers must always remain conserved. Nuclear reactions do not obey the law of conservation of matter and mass.

The mass number are the superscript before the symbol of the nuclide

The atomic number is the subscript.

The sum of the atomic number on the left hand side equals that on the right hand side. This goes for the mass number too.

Some students set up a circuit and decided to measure the voltage at different points around
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

 V₁ = 6 V ,  V₂ = V₃ = 3 V

Explanation:

To solve this circuit we must remember that there are two fundamental types of construction in series and parallel.

* a serial circuit there is only one path for current

in this circuit the constant current in the entire circuit and the voltage is the sum of the voltage of each term

* Parallel circuit in this there are two or more paths for the current

in this circuit the voltage is constant and the east is divided between each branch

with these principles let's analyze the proposed circuit

The DC battery is in parallel with resistor R1 and the equivalent of the other branch,

as in a parallel circuit the voltage is constant

               V₁ = 6 V

in the other branch (23) it forms a series construction, where the current is constant

               6 = iR₂ + iR₃

as they indicate that each resistance has the same value

              6 = 2 iR

              V = V₂ = V₃ = 3 V

The activity of a radioisotope is found to decrease 40% of its original value in 2.59 x 10 s.
Rainbow [258]

Answer: 0.0353\ s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given

Radioactive material is found to decrease 40% of its original value in 2.59\times 10\ s

Sample at any time is given by

N=N_oe^{-\lambda t}

where, \lambda=\text{decay constant}

Put values

\Rightarrow 0.4N_o=N_oe^{-\lambda\cdot 2.59\times 10}\\\Rightarrow 0.4=e^{-\lambda\cdot 2.59\times 10

Taking natural logarithm both side

\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{\ln 2.5}{25.9}\\\\\Rightarrow \lambda =0.0353\ s^{-1}

Two machines do thae same may have different power why
marissa [1.9K]

The quantity work has to do with a force causing a displacement. Work has nothing to do with the amount of time that this force acts to cause the displacement. Sometimes, the work is done very quickly and other times the work is done rather slowly. For example, a rock climber takes an abnormally long time to elevate her body up a few meters along the side of a cliff. On the other hand, a trail hiker (who selects the easier path up the mountain) might elevate her body a few meters in a short amount of time. The two people might do the same amount of work, yet the hiker does the work in considerably less time than the rock climber. The quantity that has to do with the rate at which a certain amount of work is done is known as the power. The hiker has a greater power rating than the rock climber.

Power is the rate at which work is done. It is the work/time ratio. Mathematically, it is computed using the following equation.


Power = Work / time


or


P = W / t

The data table below shows the distribution of the energies of a pendulum 0.60 s into its motion. What is the missing value?
ohaa [14]
The total energy (also called mechanical energy) is the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy:
TE = KE + PE
For this pendulum, we see that at t=0.60 s the total energy is TE=0.918 J while the potential energy is 0.054 J, so the kinetic energy (the missing value in the table) is
KE=TE-PE=0.918 J - 0.054 J =0.864 J

In Young's experiment a mixture of orange light (611 nm) and blue light (471 nm) shines on the double slit. The centers of the f
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

0.5639m

Explanation:

For a young double slit experiment the expression below gives the angular separation for m dark fringe having slit width d and wavelength λ

=sin⁻¹(mλ/d)

mλ /d =y/L

for the first order,

y= mλL/d

For ratio separation y₀/yD=1 and d= 1

y₀/yD= [mλ ₀L₀/d]/[mλD.LD./d]

1=λ ₀L₀/λD.LD.

λD.LD= λ ₀L₀

L₀= λD.LD/ λ ₀..............(1)

Then substitute the given values into (1) we have

L₀=471 *0.497/611

= 0.3831m

Distance by which the screen has to be moved towards the slit is

LD- Lo

0.947-0.3831= 0.5639m
