Radioactive isotopes of an atom aren't as stable as you would think, so the correct answer is: C. Less Stable

(I can verify this because I took the test.)

Hope this helps! Have a wonderfully wonderful day!

Cheers mate!

Answer:

c.less stable

Explanation:

A radioactive isotope is an isotope of an atom that has an unstable nucleus. This generally happens when the nucleus has a much larger number of neutrons compared to the number of protons: in this case, the nucleus tends to decay, emitting part of the neutrons (but also protons or electrons, depending on the type of decay), becoming a lighter nucleus which is more stable. Therefore, a radioactive isotope is generally not very stable.

A 4.40-m-long, 500 kg steel uniform beam extends horizontally from the point where it has been bolted to the framework of a new

icang [17]

Answer:

Torque=13798.4 N.m

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of beam m₁=500 kg

Mass of the person m₂=70 kg

length of steel r₁=4.40m

center of gravity of the beam is at r₂=r₁/2 =4.40/2 = 2.20m

To find

Torque

Solution

Torque due to beam own weight

$T_{1}=m_{1}gr_{1}\\ T_{1}=500*2.2*9.8\\T_{1}=10780N.m$

Torque due to person

$T_{2}=m_{2}r_{2}g\\T_{2}=70*(4.40)*(9.8)\\T_{2}=3018.4 N.m$

Now for total torque

$T_{total}=T_{1}+T_{2}\\T_{total}=10780+3018.4\\T_{total}=13798.4N.m$

You sit "at rest" in front of your computer to answer this question. But you sit on the surface of a planet that spins, so even

igomit [66]

Answer: Linear speed is 1,670 Kph.

Explanation:

If we assume that the earth is a perfect sphere, and that is spinning itself once every roughly 24 hr, we can get the angular velocity of the Earth, in magnitude, as follows:

ω = 2π / 24 Hr

Now, by definition, an angle is the relationship between the arc s, and the radius r, so we can replace these values in the angular velocity expression, as follows:

ω = (Δs / r) . 1/Δt ⇒ ω = (Δs/Δt). 1/r

But, by definition, Δs/At, is just the linear velocity, v, so we can conclude the following;

ω = v/r ⇒ v = ω. r

So, we can get v, as follows:

v = 2π /24 hr . 6378 Km = 1,670 Km/hr.

A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea

Savatey [412]

Answer:

$41.81^{\circ}$

Explanation:

The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.

Let Vector $\overrightarrow{OA}$ is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.

In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity, $\vec {R}$ must be in the north direction.

Let $\overrightarrow{AB}$ is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.

For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector $\overrightarrow {OA}$ and head of the vector $\overrightarrow{AB}$ must lie on the north-south line.

Now, for this condition, from the triangle OAB

$|\overrightarrow{AB}|\sin \theta=|\overrightarrow{OA}|$

$\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\frac{|\overrightarrow{OA}|}{|\overrightarrow{AB}|}=\frac 2 3$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\frac23$

$\Rightarrow \theta=41.81^{\circ}$

Hence, the kayaker must paddle in the direction of $41.81^{\circ}$ in the north of east direction.

If 14:15=42:x find the value of x

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

x=45

Explanation:

by taking 42 and dividing it by 14 you get 1/3, because 14 is 1/3 of 42 you can then see that the ratio is multiplied by 3. si then you can just multiply 15 by 3 to get 45
