Answer:

All of the following are already correctly categorized. This facts about these radioactive decays are true. Further, I have explained below in explanation portion.

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: Yes it cannot penetrate through paper & Yes it emits Alpha particle when an element undergoes the process of Alpha Decay. Here's how:

First of all, we need to understand why a particular element decays? why radioactive decay occurs?

It is because, everything in this universe tends to achieve its stable state. Everything put efforts to be in their stable state. Likewise, when radioactive elements like Uranium or Thorium become unstable they undergo the process of Alpha decay. As a result, they emit energy and alpha particle.

Furthermore, Alpha decay has low penetration power and it has higher mass than Beta Decay and Gamma Decay that's why it cannot travel in long distances. Hence, it cannot pass through a sheet of paper.

Beta Decay: Yes it emits electrons or positrons and Yes it can penetrate through paper but cannot penetrate through a foil. Here's how:

Till now, we are familiar that why the process of decay occurs right? in order to be stable. Like wise Beta Decay occurs and it emits beta particle and energy. The main difference between alpha decay and beta decay is that alpha particle's mass is much greater than beta particle's mass because beta particle is either a negatively charged electron or positron (a positively charged electron or anti-electron) and we know that mass electron is much smaller.

So, Beta Decay has moderate penetrate power and it's mass is much smaller that's why it can travel in longer distances and it can penetrate paper but cannot penetrate into foil.

Gamma Decay: Yes it requires thick lead shield and yes it emits photon. Here's how:

Gamma Decay is a radioactive wave, it only emits energy in form of photons and it has no mass and no charge and but it has very low wavelength but highest energy with great penetration power and that is the reason that it can penetrate paper, it can penetrate foil but it cannot penetrate thick lead shield.

Hope, this will help :)

What happens when you throw a basketball up toward the hoop? If you are lucky, the ball sinks into the net. You score two points

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

What happens when you throw a basketball up

toward the hoop? If you are lucky, the ball sinks

into the net, scoring two points before dropping

back down to the ground. The basketball isn’t

that heavy, so why doesn’t it stay up in the air

<h2>when you throw it? Have you ever heard the</h2>

saying, “What comes up must come down”?

This saying is a simple explanation for what

causes the basketball to fall back to the ground.

It is being acted on by an invisible force called

gravity, which is the basic force in the universe

that attracts all objects to each other.

1 Gravity has existed since the beginning of the universe. It is hard to understand how or why it

works, but we know it is always there because it holds everything in the universe in place. First,

you need to understand that there is a gravitational attraction between you and Earth, between

Earth and the Moon, and between Earth and the Sun. Even though you can’t feel it, the

gravitational attraction between you and Earth is what keeps your feet planted firmly on the

ground. Imagine spinning around and around on a merry-go-round. As long as you are holding

on, then you stay on the merry-go-round, but if you ever let go, you will fly off and land on the

ground. This is a useful analogy in visualizing the gravitational attraction between Earth and

you. Earth is spinning on its axis and thanks to gravity, you are held to your position on Eart

rather than flying out into space. Explanation: this is what i can do!:)

78 grams of a radioactive nuclei X undergoes radioactive decay. The half-life of X is 4.7 minutes. After 16.5 minutes, the remai

kipiarov [429]

<u>Answer:</u> The remaining sample of X is 6.9 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All the radioactive reactions follow first order kinetics.

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

We are given:

$t_{1/2}=4.7min$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{4.7min}=0.147min^{-1}$

The equation used to calculate time period follows:

$N=N_o\times e^{-k\times t}$

where,

$N_o$ = initial mass of sample X = 78 g

N = remaining mass of sample X = ? g

t = time = 16.5 min

k = rate constant = $0.147min^{-1}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$N=78\times e^{-(0.147min^{-1}\times 16.5min)}\\\\N=6.9g$

Hence, the remaining amount of sample X is 6.9 g

An auto race takes place on a circular track. A car completes one lap in a time of 18.0 s, with an average tangential speed of 4

eduard

Answer:

(A) 0.3488 rad/sec

(B) 124.246 m

Explanation:

We have given car completes one revolution in 18 sec'

So time period T= 18 sec

Tangential speed v = 43.4 m/sec

(A) Angular velocity is given by $\omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14}{18}=0.3488rad/sec$

(B) Tangential velocity is given v = 43.4 m /sec

We know that $v=\omega r$

$r=\frac{v}{\omega }=\frac{43.4}{0.3488}=124.426m$
