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

You are exerting 100N. Since there’s no NET force, then there must be exactly 100N pushing exactly back on your 100N to cancel it to exactly zero. Newton's first law states that whether a body is at rest or travelling in a straight line at a constant speed, it will remain at rest or continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by a force.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

25032.47 W

Explanation:

Power is the time rate of doing work, hence,

P = Work done(non conservative) / time

Work done (non conservative) is given as:

W = total K. E. + total P. E.

Total K. E. = 0.5mv²- 0.5mu²

Where v (final velocity) = 7.0m/s, u (initial velocity) = 0m/s

Total P. E. = mgh(f) - mgh(i)

Where h(f) (final height) = 7.2m, h(i) (initial height) = 0 m

=> W = 0.5mv² - mgh(f)

P = [0.5mv² - mgh(f)] / t

P = [(0.5*790*7²) - (790*9.8*7.2)] / 3

P = (19355 + 55742.4) / 3 = 75097.4/3

P = 25032.47 W
