In 1932, James Chadwick bombarded beryllium-9 with alpha particles. One product was a neutron. This led to the direct experiment

al verification of the existence of neutrons. The other product of Chadwick's nuclear reaction was carbon-12. boron-12. helium-4. nitrogen-14.

Answer:  The other product of Chadwick's nuclear reaction was carbon-12.

Explanation:

The isotopic representation of an atom is: _Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given reaction:

^{9}_{4}\textrm{Be}+^4_2\textrm{He}\rightarrow ^{A}_{Z}\textrm{Kr}+^1_0\textrm{n}

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

9 + 4= A + 1

A = 12

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

4 + 2 = Z + 0

Z = 6

The isotopic symbol is _{6}^{12}\textrm{C} . Thus The other product of Chadwick's nuclear reaction was carbon-12.

A train travels up a hill that is 100 meters long. If the train has climbed 50 meters vertically. How far the train traveled hor
NeTakaya

Answer:

27.3 meters

Explanation:

A train travels up a hill that is 100 meters long. If the train has climbed 50 meters vertically, it traveled 27.3 meters vertically. Therefore, the answer is 27.3 meters.

(100)² = (50)²+x²

10000 - 2500 = x²

7500 = x²

x = 27.3 or 27.3 meters

Hope this helped!

Circumference of a circle given the radius or diameter? explain why or why not
djyliett [7]

Circumference of a circle can be calculated if the radius or the diameter is given.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Circumference or the perimeter of a circle can be calculated if the radius or the diameter of the circle is given.
  • This is calculated by the formula -  2 * pi * r (if radius is given) and  pi * d (if diameter is given) where pi = 3.14, r = radius and d = diameter
  • This calculation is based on the fact that the circumference is three and a little more times that of the radius. Since the diameter is double that of the radius, when the diameter is given formula becomes pi*d.

What can you assume has happened if an electron moves to a higher energy level
tresset_1 [31]

The extra energy that the electron suddenly has had to
come from somewhere, so I can assume that one of
two things happened:

either 1).  A photon passed by and the electron absorbed it.

      or 2).  Somebody hooked up a battery or a generator in
such a way that the electron was bathed in a field of electrostatic
potential, and suddenly had the get-up-and-go to jump to a higher
energy level, and possibly even to leave its atom completely and
zip over to a neighbor atom.

An object has a kinetic energy of 14 J and a mass of 17 kg , how fast is the object<br> moving?
Vlad1618 [11]
Use the formula:

E = (1/2) * m * v ^2

For unit consistency, make sure that:

E energy is in joules (J)
m mass is in kilograms (kg)
v velocity is in meters per second (m/s)
So, substituting to the equation:

14= (1/2) * (17) * v^2

By algebraic manipulation, we derive:

v = (2*14/17)^0.5

v = 1.2834 m/s
