Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The sprinter at the very start of the race , pushes hard the ground under his feet in backward direction  . The harder he presses the ground backwards  , the greater reaction force he receives back in forward direction , throwing him forward  direction. This force creates acceleration.

b ) The frictional force acting in opposite direction on the motion of ball creates   - ve acceleration .

c ) The frictional force acting opposite to the motion of the ball creates - ve acceleration. The gravitational force acting on the ball in downward direction creates positive  acceleration on the ball.

d ) The restoring force created in the bungee chord due to its extension  creates acceleration in him in upward direction.

Write the nuclear reaction equation for the beta decay of Iodine-131
den301095 [7]

Answer:

_{53}^{131}I \rightarrow _{54}^{131}Xe + e + \bar{\nu}

Explanation:

In a beta (minus) decay, a neutron in a nucleus turns into a proton, emitting a fast-moving electron (called beta particle) alongside with an antineutrino.

The general equation for a beta decay is:

^A_Z X \rightarrow _{Z+1}^AY+^0_{-1}e+ ^0_0\bar{\nu} (1)

where

X is the original nucleus

Y is the daughter nucleus

e is the electron

\bar{\nu} is the antineutrino

We observe that:

  • The mass number (A), which is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, remains the same in the decay
  • The atomic number (Z), which is the number of protons in the nucleus, increases by 1 unit

In this problem, the original nucles that we are considering is iodine-131, which is

_{53}^{131}I

where

Z = 53 (atomic number of iodine)

A = 131 (mass number)

Using the rule for the general equation (1), the dauther nucleus must have same mass number (131) and atomic number increased by 1 (54, which corresponds to Xenon, Xe), therefore the equation will be:

_{53}^{131}I \rightarrow _{54}^{131}Xe + e + \bar{\nu}

A nonmechanical water meter could utilize the Hall effect by applying a magnetic field across a metal pipe and measuring the Hal
Serga [27]

Answer:

The velocity is  v =2.455 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The diameter of the pipe is  d =  4.25 \ cm  = 0.0425 \ m

    The magnetic field is  B  =  0.575 \  T

     The hall voltage is  V_H =  60.0 mV  =  60 *10^{-3} \  V

Generally the average fluid velocity is mathematically represented as

          v = \frac{V}{ B  *  d }

=>       v = \frac{60*10^{-3}}{ 0.575   *  0.0425  }

=>       v =2.455 \  m/s
