The Americium nucleus, 241 95 Am, decays to a Neptunium nucleus, 237 93 Np, by emitting an alpha particle of mass 4.00260 u and

kinetic energy 5.5 MeV. Estimate the mass of the Neptunium nucleus, ignoring its recoil, given that the Americium mass is 241.05682 u

Answer:

The mass of Neptunium is 237.054 u.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Americium = 241.05682 u

Mass of alpha particle = 4.00260 u

The equation is,

_{95}^{241}Am\rightarrow _{93}^{237}NP+\alpha\ particle+5.5 MeV

Let the mass of Neptunium is m.

Since the mass remain same.

We need to calculate the mass of Neptunium

Using formula of mass

Mass of Neptunium =  Mass of Americium -Mass of alpha particle

Put the value into the formula

m=241.05682 -4.00260

m=237.054\ u

Hence, The mass of Neptunium is 237.054 u.

You notice that the price of Blu-ray players falls and the quantity of Blu-ray players sold increases. This set of observations
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

When this type of situation occurs where the price falls and the sale of a product increases then a shift is observed in the supply curve towards right as a result of this shift there is a need to shift down the demand curve

Thus When supply curve is shifted to the right the demand curve is moved down accordingly.

reasons. 5. Why is the unit of temperature called a fundamental unit? Give reasons. ring derived unit.​
Furkat [3]

Explanation:

It doesn't depends upon other.

It have it's own identity.

It's a lot easier to measure temperature than to measure the motion of component particles.

The constant forces F1 = 8 + 29 + 32 N and F2 = 48 - 59 - 22 N act together on a particle during a displacement from the point A
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

- 600 J

Explanation:

A (20, 15, 0 ) m

B (0, 0, 7) m

\overrightarrow{F_{1}}=8\widehat{i}+29\widehat{j}+32\widehat{k}

\overrightarrow{F_{2}}=48\widehat{i}-59\widehat{j}-22\widehat{k}

Net force

\overrightarrow{F}=\overrightarrow{F_{1}}+\overrightarrow{F_{2}}

\overrightarrow{F}}=\left ( 8+48 \right )\widehat{i}+\left ( 29-59 \right )\widehat{j}+\left ( 32-22 \right )\widehat{k}

\overrightarrow{F}}=56\widehat{i}-30\widehat{j}+10\widehat{k}

\overrightarrow{S}=\overrightarrow{OB}-\overrightarrow{OA}

\overrightarrow{S}=\left ( 0-20 \right )\widehat{i}+\left ( 0-15 \right )\widehat{j}+\left ( 7-0 \right )\widehat{k}

\overrightarrow{S}=-20\widehat{i}-15\widehat{j}+7\widehat{k}

Work done is defined as

W = \overrightarrow{F}.\overrightarrow{S}

W = \left ( 56\widehat{i}-30\widehat{j}+10\widehat{k} \right ).\left (-20\widehat{i}-15\widehat{j}+7\widehat{k}  \right )

W = -1120 + 450 + 70

W = - 600 J

If the PLATE SEPARATION of an isolated charged parallel-plate capacitor is doubled: A. the electric field is doubled
mash [69]

Explanation:

The electric field of an isolated charged parallel-plate capacitor is given by :

E=\dfrac{q}{A\epsilon_o}........(1)

Where

q is the electric charge

A is the area of cross section of parallel plate

It is clear from equation (1) that the electric field of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the charge on the plate and inversely proportional to the area of cross section of a plate.

So, the correct option is (E) i.e. "none of the above".
