When an isotope undergoes an alpha decay it means it has too many protons. The nucleus releases the alpha particle and energy.

A particle experiences a constant acceleration for 12 second after starting from rest. If it travels a distance s1 in the first
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The last option is correct

ΔT1 = 4 sec       ΔT2 = 4 sec          ΔT3 = 4 sec

S = V0 t + 1/2 a t^2

S1 = 1/2 a t^2 = 8 a      where V0 is the speed at the start of the interval

During any interval (of 4 sec) the particle travels 1/2 a t^2 = 8 a    due to its acceleration - and you need to include the speed at the start of  the interval

S1 = 8a

S2 = 8 a + 8 a = 16 a

S3 = 16 a + 8 a = 24 a

Note: V2 = V1 + a t       for any interval

V2 - V1 = V1 + a t - V1 = a t

and a = (V2 - V1) / t = a   the speed increase is constant during the interval

An object is suspended by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. If the tension in the string is equal to 25 N at an instant
Phantasy [73]

By Newton's second law, the net force on the object is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>T</em> - <em>mg</em> = - <em>ma</em>

where

• <em>T</em> = 25 N, the tension in the string

• <em>m</em> is the mass of the object

• <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s², the acceleration due to gravity

• <em>a</em> = 2.0 m/s², the acceleration of the elevator-object system

Solve for <em>m</em> :

25 N - <em>m</em> (9.8 m/s²) = - <em>m</em> (2.0 m/s²)

==>   <em>m</em> = (25 N) / (9.8 m/s² - 2.0 m/s²) ≈ 3.2 kg
