Answer:Radon.

Explanation: The main source of Radon is the Gaseous decay of Uranium found in the rocks into Radium, Radium also undergoes direct radioactive decay into RADON it is usually found in the rocks.

Radon is a radioactive noble gas that is colourless,odourless and tasteless, it has an atomic number of 86. Inhaling Radon is very toxic and poisonous to the health of man as it leads to different forms of breathing issues, it lead to thightening of the chest, difficulty swallowing etc.

A block of mass 0.1 kg is attached to a spring of spring constant 21 N/m on a frictionless track. The block moves in simple harm

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

A) 2.75 m/s B) 0.1911 m C) 0.109 s

Explanation:

mass of block = M =0.1 kg

spring constant = k = 21 N/m

amplitude = A = 0.19 m

mass of bullet = m = 1.45 g = 0.00145 kg

velocity of bullet = vᵇ = 68 m/s

as we know:

Angular frequency of S.H.M = ω₀ = $\sqrt\frac{k}{M}$

= $\sqrt\frac{21}{0.1}$

= 14.49 rad/sec

<h3>A) Speed of the block immediately before the collision:</h3>

displacement of Simple Harmonic Motion is given as:

$x = A sin (\omega t + \phi)\\$

Differentiating this to find speed of the block immediately before the collision:

$v=\frac{dx}{dt}= A\omega_{o} cos (\omega_{o}t =\phi}\\$

As bullet strikes at equilibrium position so,

φ = 0

t= 2nπ

⇒ cos (ω₀t + φ) = 1

⇒ $v= A\omega_{o}$

$v=(.19)(14.49)\\v= 2.75 ms^{-1}$

<h3>B) If the simple harmonic motion after the collision is described by x = B sin(ωt + φ), new amplitude B:</h3>

S.H.M after collision is given as :

$x= Bsin(\omega t + \phi)$

To find B, consider law of conservation of energy

$K.E = P.E\\K.E= \frac{1}{2}(m+M)v^{2} \\P.E = \frac{1}{2} kB^{2}$

$\frac{m+M}{k} v^{2} = B^{2} \\B =\sqrt\frac{m+M}{k} v\\B = \sqrt\frac{.00145+0.1}{21} (2.75)\\B = .1911m$

<h3>C) Time taken by the block to reach maximum amplitude after the collision:</h3>

Time period S.H.M is given as:

$T=2\pi \sqrt\frac{m}{k}\\ for given case\\m= m=M\\then\\T=2\pi \sqrt\frac{m+M}{k}$

Collision occurred at equilibrium position so time taken by block to reach maximum amplitude is equal to one fourth of total time period

$T=\frac{\pi }{2}\sqrt\frac{m+M}{k} \\T=0.109 sec$
