Answer:

The neutron-to-proton ratio of the atom.

Explanation:

An isotope is an atoms of elements with the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons. Thus, the different values of their mass number.

The neutron-proton ratio could make an isotope either unstable, thus predicting the radioactive nature of the isotope.

An object moving in a straight line changes its velocity uniformly from 2m/s to 4 m/s over a distance of 12 m. What was its acce
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:A

Explanation:

Initial velocity, u = 2m/s

Final velocity, v = 4m/s

Distance covered, s = 12m

Acceleration, a = ?

Using

v² = u² + 2as

2as = v² - u²

a = v²-u²/2s

a = 4²-2²/2 x 12

a = 16-4/24

a = 12/24

a = 0.5m/s²

A student throws a set of keys vertically upward to his fraternity brother, who is in a window 4.35 m above. The brother's outst
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:9.51 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Window is 4.35 m above ground

time taken=1.2 s

Let u be the initial velocity of keys

s=ut+\frac{gt^2}{2}

where s=distance traveled

u=initial velocity

t=time taken

g=acceleration due to gravity

4.35=u\times 1.2+\frac{(-9.8)1.2^2}{2}

u=\frac{11.4132}{1.2}=9.511 m/s

(b)velocity of keys just before they were caught

v=u+at

v=9.511-9.8\times 1.2

v=-2.26 m/s

Here negative sign indicates downward motion of keys

Which explains why more energy is released in nuclear reactions than in chemical reactions? Chemical reactions are always endoth
Natali [406]
More energy is released in nuclear reactions than in chemical reactions; this is because in nuclear reactions, mass is converted to energy. Nuclear energy released in nuclear fission and fusion is several 100 million times as large as an ordinary chemical reaction like the combustion process. The reason why nuclear energy release so much energy is because tremendous amounts of energy is released at one time. The nuclei in a nuclear reaction undergo a chain reaction, causing the neutrons to move extremely fast and release high amounts of energy.
