Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

β-decay refers to the process by which the atoms release β-particles.

This type of decay process normally occurs when a particular atom is comprised of higher protons or neutrons in its nucleus. It takes place in two forms, namely-

(a) Positive (+) β-decay -> This type of decay emits β-particles of charge (+). They are known as Positron.

(b) Negative (-) β-decay -> This type of decay produces β-particles of charge (-). They are known as Electron.

These Positron and Electron are elementary particles that are comprised of high energy, in the absence of mass, which are emitted for the conservation of energy during the time of decay.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).

A 100-year flood is the flooding elevation that has a one percent chance of happening each year. Why is the name misleading
fenix001 [56]
One percent annual chance of flooding does not mean it will happen with absolute certainty once every 100 years. Just that the expected value of a flood in 100 years is one.

As an example, heads has a 50% chance of happening every coin flip. With 2 coin flips, the expected value is one. However, it would be a misnomer to call "heads" a 2-flip outcome.

Jet001 [13]

Both speed and velocity measure how fast something is moving. Hence, since speed is not a vector it does not require direction.

Speed only depends on the distance covered by the object and how much time it took to cover that distance. It does not care about the direction, it just depend on the length of the entire path covered. Whereas, velocity depends on magnitude as well as the direction of the object's motion for example: When an airplane is traveling, It is better to deal the motion with velocity and when we are moving in a car inside the city, we should deal the motion with speed.

After watching this video, Blake, a student in an introductory physics class, makes the following claim: The acceleration and ve
Maru [420]

Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self- explanatory.

Explanation:

  • Any time that an object changes direction  (from leftward to rightwward, or from upward to downward) the velocity must be zero just for one instant, when is on the verge of changing the direction.
  • This  is needed because velocity changes as a continuous function of time, so it needs to cross the t-axis when passing from positive to negative or vice versa.
  • However, the claim that in the moment that velocity is zero, the acceleration is also zero, is false.
  • Due to acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and velocity is a vector, this means at any time there is a change of direction, there is an acceleration that is non-zero.
  • For example, when an object that has been thrown upward, reaches to its maximum height, just one instant before starting to fall, the velocity becomes zero, but the acceleration (which causes the object to fall) is non-zero, due to it's the acceleration due to gravity.

A reaction has a rate constant of 0.0117 s-1 at 400.0 k and 0.689 s-1 at 450.0 k. calculate the activation energy in kilojoules
Zina [86]
By definition we have to:
 LOG (k2 / k1)=(-Ea/R)*(1/T1-1/T2)
 Where,
 k1 = 0.0117 s-1
 K2 = 0.689 s-1
 T1 = 400.0 k
 T2 = 450.0 k
 R is the ideal gas constant
 R = 8.314 KJ / (Kmol * K)
 Substituting
 ln (0.0117/0.689)=-Ea/(8.314)*((1/400)-(1/450))
 Clearing Ea:
 Ea = 122 kJ
 answer
<span> the activation energy in kilojoules for this reaction is
</span> Ea = 122 kJ
