Answer: 1) a = 9.61m/s² pointing to west.
2) (a) Δv = - 37.9km/s
(b) a = - 6.10⁷km/years
Explanation: Aceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.
1) For the plane:
a = 9.61m/s²
The plane is moving east, so velocity points in that direction. However, it is stopping at the time of 13s, so acceleration's direction is in the opposite direction. Therefore, acceleration points towards west.
2) Total change of velocity:
km/s
The interval is in years, so transforming seconds in years:
v = 
km/years
Calculating acceleration:
Acceleration of an asteroid is a = -6.10⁷km/years .
Answer:
A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an electron.
Explanation:
In an atom, nuclei contain protons and neutrons, which are the fundamental particles of an atom. Neutrons are stable and uncharged particles inside a nucleus.
For 15 times during its lifetime, a free neutron decays and breaks down into more smaller particles.This breakdown causes problems in nuclear reactors, as they start decaying and emit radiations of different wavelengths.
A neutron undergoes the decaying process to produce an electron, a proton, and energy.
The reaction of neutron decay:
n0 → p+ + e− + νe
Answer:
Young modulus = 9.8 × 10⁹ N/m²
Explanation:
From the information given:
Stress = F/A
Stress = (10 × 9.8) / 0.001²
Stress = 9.8× 10⁷ N/m²
Strain = increase in length / initial length of wire
Strain = 0.02/ 2
Strain = 0.01
Now;
The Young modulus (Y)= stress/strain
Young modulus = (9.8 × 10⁷ N/m²) / 0.01
Young modulus = 9.8 × 10⁹ N/m²
