If you add two velocity vectors going in opposite directions, will the resultant vector be smaller or larger than the vectors yo

u are adding?
Choose the correct answer with the correct reasoning.

Question 11 options:

smaller, because the vectors are added to each other and increase the velocity


larger, because the vectors are added to each other and increase the velocity


smaller, because part of the velocities cancel each other out


larger, because the part of the velocities cancel each other out

smaller, because the part of the velocities cancel each other out

Explanation:

If two vectors going in opposite directions and we add them, the resultant is given by the sum of vectors as :

R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2AB\ cos(180)}, cos (180) = -1

R=A+(-B)

If the vectors are in same directions, the resultant is equal to the sum of vectors. Here, the resultant of two vectors is smaller because the part of the velocities cancel out each other. Hence, the correct option is (c).

pav-90 [236]

An element can be identified by its unique atomic number. When we look in the periodic table, we find that the element with an atomic number of 9292 is uranium. There is only option containing uranium which also confirms the mass number we found. So, the daughter nucleus of the decay is 234^U.

In an alpha decay, a positively charged particle similar to a helium-4 nucleus gets released from the parent nucleus spontaneously. As the composition suggests, an alpha particle consists of two protons and 2 neutrons. The particle does not travel much, but in short range, it carries the most energy.

It's smart to use the thermal energy provided by the radioactive decay to generate electricity. This allows for a stable supply of power without consuming much space which means the saved space can be used for more scientific equipment.  The alpha particle, structurally equivalent to the nucleus of a helium atom.
