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.

In an effort to decrease the mAs of an exposure, the 15% rule of kVp change may be considered. Changing the original kVp of 84 u
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Will result in :Greater Compton scatter interaction

Explanation

This is because The 15% rule states that changing the kVp by 15% has the same effect as doubling the mAs, or reducing the mAs by 50%; that is A 15% increase in kVp has the same effect as doubling the mAs and vice versa but in this case reducing mas causes more Compton scatter because Compton scattering occurs at a lower kvp

If a source of sound waves is rapidly approaching a person, the sound heard by the person appears to have
velikii [3]

Correct answer choice is:

D. A frequency higher than the original frequency.

Explanation:

This is a true case of Doppler's effect. The Doppler effect can be defined as the effect originated by a traveling source of waves in which there is a visible higher variation in pulse for observers towards what the source is progressing and a visible descending shift in rate for observers from what the source is dropping.

A man pulls a sled at a constant velocity across a horizontal snow surface. if a force of 80 n is being applied to the sled rope
balandron [24]
A constant velocity implies the two forces must be equal and opposite.
Friction acts horizontal to the ground, therefore we must find the force applied to the sled rope that acts horizontal to the ground.
Do this by resolving:
Force = 80cos53
The force opposing this is equal, and so also = 80cos53 = 48 N (2 sig. fig.)

Item 19 Question 1 A Ferris wheel has a radius of 75 feet. You board a car at the bottom of the Ferris wheel, which is 10 feet a
sergey [27]

Answer:

y = 104.4 ft

Explanation:

As we know that we board in the car of ferris wheel at the bottom position

So we will have

final height of the car at angular displacement given as

y = y_o + R + R sin(270 - 255)

y = y_o + R + R sin 15

here we know that

y_o = 10 ft

R = 75 ft

so we have

y = 10 + 75 + 75 sin15

y = 104.4 ft
