1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data (a) Calculate the disintegration energy when 232/92U decays by alpha emission into 228/90Th. Atomic masses of 232/92U and 228/90Th are 232.037156u and 228.028741u, respectively. (b) For the 232/92U decay in part (a), how much of the disintegration energy will be carried off by the alpha particle? Given: Mass of 4/2He = 4.002603u c^2 = 931.5MeV


2. Relevant equations E=mc^2
 

3. The attempt at a solution Well for part (a), first I found the difference in the starting masses and the end masses ie, 232.037156u - (228.028741u + 4.002603u) = 0.005812u I then put this into the equation and got 5.413878MeV. I thought this was right until I read part (b) and now I'm starting to think this might be how I'm meant to do that part, not part (a). Could anyone tell me if I'm even on the right track with this question or should I be using different equations?

A hockey puck moves 22 meters northward, then 16 meters southward, and finally 4 meters northward.
xenn [34]

Answer:

Distance moved = 42 meters

Mag and Dir = 10 meters northward

Explanation:

Distance is total distance traveled which = 22+16+4 = 42 meters

Displacement is the amount of distance moved from the start point to the end point straight line so our equation for the magnitude is 22-16+4 = 10 meters. Then the direction is northward from the start point. This answer would also be a vector because it has a magnitude and direction.

Misha Larkins [42]

Complete Question:

Which technology is set up on the marketing team's phones?

a) Bluetooth

b) Tethering

c) NFC

d) Hotspot

Answer:

NFC

Explanation:

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless connectivity standard that uses magnetic field induction to enable communication between devices when  brought within a few centimetres from each other. NFC offers a secured communication between connected electronic devices with simple setup that can be used to bootstrap more-capable wireless connections. It only covers a range of 10 cm to 20 cm.

None of the other options can transmit or share information for payments among the team except the NFC. NFC is also suitable for this setup because only a small range is expected to be covered.

As air temperature approaches the dew point, what happens to the relative humidity?
AleksAgata [21]
<span>Relative Humidity is a percentage based on how much moisture is in the air versus how much moisture the air can hold. The dewpoint is the temperature that the atmosphere must reach for a parcel of air to become fully saturated. That being said, if the temperature outside is 30 degrees (F or C doesn't matter), and the dewpoint goes from 10 to 20, then the relative humidity has increased, meaning there is more moisture present in the atmosphere.
The easiest way to look at pressure is by looking at the number of air molecules that are in a closed container. Gas molecules expand as they warm, so warming up a container of air means that these molecule will attempt to expand, thus increasing the pressure. Take for instance a soda bottle filled with air, if you heat a soda bottle, then the gases inside will attempt to expand (raising the pressure) and eventually the bottle will explode, but if you stick the same soda bottle in dry ice, the soda bottle will contract, due to decreased pressure. </span> Source(s): <span> Military Meteorologist
