Answer:3.87*10^-4

Explanation:

What is the decrease in mass, delta mass Xe , of the xenon nucleus as a result of this deca

We have been given the wavelength of the gamma ray, find the frequency using c = freq*wavelength.

C=f*lambda

3*10^8=f*3.44*10^-12

F=0.87*10^20 hz

Then with the frequency, find the energy emitted using equation

E=hf E = freq*Plank's constant

E=.87*10^20*6.62*10^-34

E=575.94*10^(-16)

With this energy, convert into MeV from joules.

With the energy in MeV, use E=mc^2 using c^2 = 931.5 MeV/u.

Plugging and computing all necessary numbers gives you

3.87*10^-4 u.

The spreading of waves behind an aperture is more for long wavelengths and less for short wavelengths.Less for long wavelengths
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Increase in wavelength of incident wave also increases the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The diffraction occurs when light bends in the same medium. The bending is the result of light waves "squeezing" through small openings or "curving" around sharp edges.

- Moreover, waves diffract best when the size of the diffraction opening (or grting or groove) corresponds to the size of the wavelength. Hence, light diffracts more through small openings than through larger openings.

- The formula for diffraction shows a direct relationship between the angle of diffraction (theta) and wavelength:

                                         d sin (θ) = m λ

Where,

     λ : Wavelength , θ : The spread angle , d : Slit opening or grating

- We can see that the wavelength λ and spread angle θ are related proportionally. So if we increase the wavelength of incident wave we also increase the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

A 20.0-N weight slides down a rough inclined plane which makes an angle of 30 degree with the horizontal. The weight starts from
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

1270.64\ \text{J}

Explanation:

m = Mass of object = \dfrac{mg}{g}

mg = Weight of object = 20 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

v = Final velocity = 15 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0

d = Distance moved by the object = 150 m

\theta = Angle of slope = 30^{\circ}

f = Force of friction

fd = Work done against friction

The force balance of the system is

\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)=(mg\sin\theta-f)d\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mg\sin\theta d-fd\\\Rightarrow fd=mg\sin\theta d-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow fd=20\times \sin 30^{\circ}\times 150-\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{9.81}\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow fd=1270.64\ \text{J}

The work done against friction is 1270.64\ \text{J}.

Which pair of equations can describe the path of a particle moving with an acceleration that is perpendicular to the velocity of
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The question clearly describes the circular motion.

The circular motion equation is

a_{radial} = \frac{v^2}{r}

The path of the particle is circular.

Explanation:

In circular motion, the radial acceleration is always towards the center and constant in magnitude. Furthermore, the velocity of the circular motion is always tangential to the circle, that is it is always perpendicular to the radius, hence the acceleration.

What happens to the rock structure during each of type of change?
EastWind [94]
Previous rocks melt and collide and to form igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks disintegrate due to weather disruptions and get carried away by water, where they form sedimentary rock strata by lithification.
Igneous and sedimentary change by heat and pressure to form metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rocks melt and become igneous rocks.
