Answer:

Alpha decay

Explanation:

  • Alpha decay is one of the three major types of decays, others being, beta decay and gamma decay.
  • <em><u>When a radioactive isotope undergoes alpha decay it emits alpha particles. An alpha particle is equivalent to the nucleus of Helium atom.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore, an atom undergoing decay, its atomic mass is decreased by 4 and its atomic number is decreased by 2. </u></em>
  • Thus, since 232/90 Th, has undergone alpha decay its mass number is reduced by 4 to 228 and its atomic number by 2 to 88, and becomes 228/88 Ra.

An air bubble at the bottom of a lake 36.0 m deep has a volume of 1.22 cm^3. If the temperature at the bottom is 5.9°C and at th
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

volume of the bubble just before it reaches the surface is 5.71 cm³

Explanation:

given data

depth h = 36 m

volume v2 = 1.22 cm³ = 1.22 × 10^{-6} m³

temperature bottom t2 = 5.9°C = 278.9 K

temperature top  t1 = 16.0°C = 289 K

to find out

what is the volume of the bubble just before it reaches the surface

solution

we know at top atmospheric pressure is about P1 = 10^{5} Pa

so pressure at bottom P2 = pressure at top + ρ×g×h

here ρ is density and h is height and g is 9.8 m/s²

so

pressure at bottom P2 = 10^{5} + 1000 × 9.8 ×36

pressure at bottom P2 =4.52 × 10^{5}  Pa

so from gas law

\frac{P1*V1}{t1} = \frac{P2*V2}{t2}

here p is pressure and v is volume and t is temperature

so put here value and find v1

\frac{10^{5}*V1}{289} = \frac{4.52*10^{5}*1.22}{278.9}

V1 = 5.71 cm³

volume of the bubble just before it reaches the surface is 5.71 cm³

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Crosstalk

Explanation:

The answer is Crosstalk as this phenomenon is most commonly associated with analog phone call.

Now, crosstalk is defined as a disturbance caused by the electric or magnetic fields of one telecommunication signal which affects a signal in an adjacent circuit. In a telephone circuit, crosstalk could result in hearing part of a voice conversation from another circuit. Hence, the phenomenon that causes crosstalk is called electromagnetic interference (EMI). This may occur in microcircuits within computers and audio equipments including within network circuits. This term is also usually applied to optical signals that interfere with each other.

How do you calculate mass using Newton’s 2nd Law?
deff fn [24]
The 2nd Law says F=ma, where F is the force in Newtons, m is mass and a is acceleration.  Earth's gravity is an acceleration, 9.8m/s^2.  So you can solve the equation for mass, m=F/a, or m=F/9.8 where you've measured the force (weight) in Newtons.

What force is necessary to accelerate a 2500 kg care from rest to 20 m/s over 10 seconds?
EleoNora [17]
Force = mass x acceleration
force = 2500kg x (20m/s / 10m/s)
force = 2500kg x 2m/s^2
force = 5000kg m/s^2 = 5kN

i hope this is right (^^)
