Radium-226 emits alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma (γ) radiation.

Physics
1 answer:
Furkat [3]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

alpha

Alpha Radiation (α): A large, unstable nucleus decays to produce a smaller, more stable nucleus and an alpha particle (identical to a helium nucleus, ⁴₂He or ⁴₂α).

It has a very high ionizing energy and low penetrating power. It can be stopped by paper skin

Beta Radiation (β): A neutron in an unstable nucleus decays, forming a proton and emitting a beta (β) particle (identical to an electron, ⁰₋₁e or ⁰₋₁b) and resulting in a more stable nucleus.

It has high ionizing energy and penetrating power. It can be stopped by aluminium sheet

Gamma Radiation (γ): An unstable nucleus releases energy in the form of a high energy photon (no mass)to become more stable; this often accompanies other forms of radioactivity.

It has very high penetrating power and very low ionizing energy. It can be stopped by lead block.

You are planning to make an open rectangular box from an 8-inch by 15-inch piece of cardboard by cutting congruent squares from
Phoenix [80]

Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:

l = 15 – 2x

w = 8 – 2x

It is 2x since we cut on two sides.

 

We know that volume is:

V = l w x

V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x

V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

 

Taking the 1st derivative:

dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2

 

Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:

120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0

 

Divide by 12:

x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0

(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2

x - 92/24 = ±2.17

x = 1.66, 6

We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w negative, so:

x = 1.66 inches

 

So the largest volume is:

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3

V = 90.74 cubic inches
