What is the difference between beta plus and minus

Physics
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]3 years ago
7 0
Beta decay is very complex phenomena in natural radioactive decay. There are 3 types of Beta decay.

B+ decay (Beta plus or Beta positive or positron decay):

is the conversion of a proton into a neutron plus a positron and an electron neutrino.

B- decay (Beta negative or Beta nought):

is the conversion  of a neutron into a proton plus an electron and a electron antineutrino. 

Note: a positron is the a positive electron or the antiparticle of the electron.

A force of 960 newtons stretches a spring 4 meters. A mass of 60 kilograms is attached to the end of the spring and is initially
Drupady [299]

Answer:

x(t) = - 6 cos 2t

Explanation:

Force of spring = - kx

k= spring constant

x= distance traveled by compressing

But force = mass × acceleration

==> Force = m × d²x/dt²

===> md²x/dt² = -kx

==> md²x/dt² + kx=0   ------------------------(1)

Now Again, by Hook's law

Force = -kx

==> 960=-k × 400

==> -k =960 /4 =240 N/m

ignoring -ve sign k= 240 N/m

Put given data in eq (1)

We get

60d²x/dt² + 240x=0

==> d²x/dt² + 4x=0

General solution for this differential eq is;

x(t) = A cos 2t + B sin 2t   ------------------------(2)

Now initially

position of mass spring

at time = 0 sec

x (0) = 0 m

initial velocity v= = dx/dt=  6m/s

from (2) we have;

dx/dt= -2Asin 2t +2B cost 2t = v(t) --- (3)

put t =0 and dx/dt = v(0) = -6 we get;

-2A sin 2(0)+2Bcos(0) =-6

==> 2B = -6

B= -3

Putting B = 3 in eq (2) and ignoring first term (because it is not possible to find value of A with given initial conditions) - we get

x(t) = - 6 cos 2t

==>

Suppose you had two magnets, who were attracted to each other, and you brought them together. Then took them apart by separating
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:4. Two charged objects have a repulsive force of 0.080 N. If the distance separating the objects is tripled, then what is the new force? Explanation: The electrostatic force is inversely related to the square of the separation distance.

How much power should a braked 1.5t car have to be braked to reduce its speed from 30m / s to 10m / s in 5s?​
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

-120000 W

Explanation:

Power = change in energy / time

P = ΔE / t

P = (½ mv₂² − ½ mv₁²) / t

P = m (v₂² − v₁²) / (2t)

Given m = 1.5 t = 1500 kg, v₂ = 10 m/s, v₁ = 30 m/s, and t = 5 s:

P = (1500 kg) ((10 m/s)² − (30 m/s)²) / (2 × 5 s)

P = -120000 W

Dinosaurs’ skeletons can be distinguished from those of other reptiles by the structure of the hips and legs.
jeyben [28]
True, they had a hole in their hip socket that allowed them to run faster than other reptiles of their size at the time. As well as most reptiles besides reptiles had legs to the side, rather than under them like dinosaurs did.

To keep with the law of conservation of matter, determine the correct product for the following reaction:
user100 [1]

Answer:

B) PbI2 + 2 KCl

Explanation:

To keep the the law of conservation of matter, the equation given above must be balanced i.e the total element in the reactant must be equal to the total elements in the product.

Given the equation

PbCl2 (aq) + 2 KI (aq) →

At the reactant shown, there are one mole of lead Pb, 2 moles of chlorine Cl, 2moles of Potassium K and 2 moles of Iodine.

During reaction, the Chlorine atom will react with the potassium atom K and the lead atom Pb will react with the iodine atom.

The resulting product that will balance the chemical equation is

PbI2 + 2 KCl

The equation will then become

PbCl2 (aq) + 2 KI (aq) → PbI2 + 2 KCl

If we look at both sides of the equation, we will see that all the elements have the same number of atoms.
