If We Start With 48 Atoms Of A Radioactive Substance, How Many Would Remain After One Half-life?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>One half-life produces (1/2) of the decaying substance.

There would still be 48 atoms. But 24 would have thrown off
particles from their nucleuses, and only 24 would still be radioactive.</span>

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The answer is " $1.01 \times 10^{-13}$ "

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation for energy. Equating the kinetic energy to the potential energy.

$KE=U=\frac{kqq'}{r}\\\\$

Calculating the closest distance:

$\to r=\frac{kqq'}{KE}\\\\$

$=\frac{k(2e)(79e)}{KE}\\\\=\frac{k(2)(79)e^2}{KE}\\\\=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \ N \cdot \frac{m^2}{c}(2)(79)(1.6 \times10^{-19} \ C)^2}{(2.25\ meV) (\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-13} \ J}{1 \ MeV})}\\\\$

$=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \times 2\times 79\times 1.6 \times10^{-19}\times 1.6 \times10^{-19} }{(2.25 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-13}) }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32\times 10^{-29}}{3.6 \times 10^{-13} }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32}{3.6} \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1011.2 \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1.01 \times 10^{-13}$

By what factor will the acceleration of an object change its mass stays constant but the force acting on it triples

Viktor [21]

Answer:

lacceleration is given by

a=F/m

With force acting on the object remained constant ,the acceleration is inversly proportional to mass of the object i.e with increase in mass =>acceleration decreases and with decrease in mass => acceleration increases.

acceleration decreases

acceleration increase
