The nucleus of the polonium isotope 214 Po (mass 214 u) is radioactive and decays by emitting an alpha particle (a helium nucleu

s with mass 4 u). Laboratory experiments measure the speed of the alpha particle to be 1.97×107 m/s.
Assuming the polonium nucleus was initially at rest, what is the recoil speed of the nucleus that remains after the decay?

Answer:

368224.29906 m/s

Explanation:

M = Mass of Polonium nucleus = 214 u

V = Velocity of nucleus

m = Mass of Helium nucleus = 4 u

v = Velocity of alpha particle = 1.97\times 10^7\ m/s

In this system the momentum is conserved

MV+mv=0\\\Rightarrow MV=-mv\\\Rightarrow 214V=-4\times 1.97\times 10^7\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{-4\times 1.97\times 10^7}{214}\\\Rightarrow V=368224.29906\ m/s

The recoil speed of the nucleus that remains after the decay is 368224.29906 m/s

Compare and contrast bio-mass and hydroelectricity as sources of energy.
Naya [18.7K]

Bio-mass and hydro-electricity both are renewable sources of energy.

Bio-mass is organic matter used as a fuel, especially in a power station for the generation of electricity. It is obtained from dead plants and animal wastes. Therefore, it is naturally refilled. It is the result of natural processes. Wood, gobar gas, etc. are some of the examples of bio-mass.

Hydro-electricity, on the other hand, is acquired from the potential energy stored in water at a height. Energy from it can be produced again and again. It is harnessed from water and obtained from mechanical processes.

Under the Florida  Statutes Annotated 316.1932 and 775.082,

" The administration of a urine test does not preclude the administration of any other type of test. The person shall be told his or her failure to submit to any lawful test of his  or her urine will result in the suspension of that person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle  for a period of  1 year for the first refusal, or for a period of 18 months if the driving privilege of such a person has been previously suspended as a result of a refusal to submit to such a test or tests..."

5. If the frequency of an oscillator is 25 Hz, what would<br> be its time period?<br>​
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Frequency = 25 Hz

Time period = T

we know that ,

frequency = 1/ T

25 = 1/T

25 T = 1

T = 1/25

= 0.04 sec
