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.

Hope it helps

What frequency is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 110 km/h and emitting a steady 800-Hz sound from
Strike441 [17]

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The frequency of sound perceive by observer changes from source emitting the sound. The frequency received by observer f_{obs} is more than the frequency emitted by the source. The expression to find the frequency received by the person is,

f_{obs} = f_s (\frac{v_w}{v_w-v_s})

f_s= Frequency of the source

v_w= Speed of sound

v_s= Speed of source

The velocity of the ambulance is

v_s = 119km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

v_s = 30.55m/s

Replacing at the expression to frequency of observer we have,

f_{obs} = 800Hz(\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-30.55m/s})

f_{obs} = 878Hz

Therefore the frequency receive by observer is 878Hz

Describe all the ways that newtons laws can apply in a car crash
Harman [31]
Newtons first law - Objects in the car at rest (The human) will remain at rest unless affected by an unbalanced force. Well the unbalanced force would be the crash and this would set the human in motion and they would ether fly out the car if not wearing a seat belt or if wearing one they would get bad whip lash

Newtons second law - With more mass requires more force, so since the human is pretty light or even if heavy in a big crash there will be so much more from it that this will send the human flying.

Newtons 3rd law - Objects A puts force onto objects b and object b excretes the same amount of force back onto object a, so in a crash the human would hit the car hard and the car would excrete the same amount of force back on the human which would really damage him/her

A rock is thrown upward from the top of a 30 m building with a velocity of 5 m/s. Determine its velocity (a) When it falls back
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

a) 5 m/s downwards

b) 17.86 m/s

c) 24.82 m/s

d) 0.228

Explanation:

We can set the frame of reference with the origin on the top of the building and the X axis pointing down.

The rock will be subject to the acceleration of gravity. We can use the equation for position under constant acceleration and speed under constant acceleration:

X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

V(t) = V0 + a * t

In this case

X0 = 0

V0 = -5 m/s

a = 9.81 m/s^2

To know the speed it will have when it falls back past the original point we need to know when it will do it. When it does X will be 0.

0 = -5 * t + 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

0 = t * (-5 + 4.9 * t)

One of the solutions is t = 0, but this is when the rock was thrown.

0 = -5 + 4.69 * t

4.9 * t = 5

t = 5 / 4.9

t = 1.02 s

Replacing this in the speed equation:

V(1.02) = -5 + 9.81 * 1.02 = 5 m/s (this is speed downwards because the X axis points down)

When the rock is at 15 m above the street it is 15 m under the top of the building.

15 = -5 * t + 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

4.9 * t^s -5 * t - 15 = 0

Solving electronically:

t = 2.33 s

At that time the speed will be:

V(2.33) = -5 + 9.81 * 2.33 = 17.86 m/s

When the rock is about to reach the ground it is at 30 m under the top of the building:

30 = -5 * t + 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

4.9 * t^s -5 * t - 30 = 0

Solving electronically:

t = 3.04 s

At this time it has a speed of:

V(3.04) = -5 + 9.81 * 3.04 = 24.82 m/s

---------------------

Power is work done per unit of time.

The work in this case is:

L = Ff * d

With Ff being the friction force, this is related to weight

Ff = μ * m * g

μ: is the coefficient of friction

L = μ * m * g * d

P = L/Δt

P = (μ * m * g * d)/Δt

Rearranging:

μ = (P * Δt) / (m * g * d)

1 horsepower is 746 W

20 minutes is 1200 s

μ = (746 * 1200) / (100 * 9.81 * 4000) = 0.228

A soccer player kicks a ball at rest on the
scoundrel [369]

The kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy changes during its movement from ground to the top height.

<h3>What happens to kinetic and potential energy while motion?</h3>

When the ball moves upward, its gravitational potential energy is increases and kinetic energy begins to decrease but when the ball falls towards the earth, its gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy. When the ball collides with the ground, the kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy.

A train travels 55 kilometers in 2 hours, and then 52 kilometers in 5 hours. What is its average speed?
bulgar [2K]

The formula for working out speed is distance ÷ time.

55 km ÷ 2 hours = 27.5 km/h (average speed for first part of journey)

52km ÷ 5 hours = 10.4 km/h (average speed for second part of journey)

(27.5 + 10.4) ÷ 2 = 18.95 km/h (average speed throughout the journey)
