Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude. Although a vector has magnitude and direction, it does not have position.

What would be the daughter product of the beta decay of lead-212 and what would be the daughter product of the alpha decay of po

kati45 [8]

Answer:

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82

Explanation:

Beta decay occurs when a neutron emits an electron and an anti neutrino from the atomic nucleus, therefore the atomic number of the material increases by one unit.

Pb + e + ν → Bi

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

In alpha decay, a helium nucleus is emitted from the nucleus of the atom, therefore the atomic number decreases by two units.

Po +α → Pb

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82

A radioactive substance decays according to the formula w = 20e¡kt grams where t is the time in hours. a find k given that after

blagie [28]

W=20 e(-kt)
A. Rearranging gives k= -(ln(w/20)/t
Substituting w= 10 and solving gives k=0.014
B. Using W=20e(-kt). After 0 hours, W=20. After 24 hours, W=14.29g. After 1 week (24x7=168h) W=1.9g
C. Rearranging gives t=-(ln(10/20)/k. Substituting w=1 and solving gives t=214 hours.
D. Differentiating gives dW/ dt = -20ke(-kt). Solving for t=100 gives dW/dt = 0.07g/h. Solving for t=1000 gives 0.0000002g/h
E. dW/dt = -20ke(-kt). But W=20e(-kt) so dW/dt = -kW

Driving Zone 7 corresponds with

stepan [7]

Your driving zone refers to the areas of space around your car, it refers to all the area around your car as far as your eyes can see.
Each car has seven zones numbered from 1 to 7. Driving zone 7 corresponds with THE SPACE YOUR VEHICLE IS OCCUPYING. The other zones are as follows:
zone 1 = area directly infront of your car
zone 2 = your left lane
zone 3 = your right lane
zone 4 = left rear of your car
zone 5 = right rear of your car
zone 6 = area directly behind your car.

6. If a bicyclist, with initial velocity of zero, steadily gained speed until reaching a final velocity of 39m/s, how far would

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

175 m

Explanation:

The average velocity for constant acceleration is the average of the beginning and ending velocities. That is (0+39)/2=19.5 m/s. If the bicyclist rides for 9 seconds, the distance traveled is ...

(9 s)(19.5 m/s) = 175.5 m

She would travel 175.5 meters in that time.

In what ways is the sun the earths energizer

Anettt [7]

All sources of energy on the planet (excluding nuclear reactions) are ultimately attributable to the sun. 'Fossil fuels' are derived from what once were living organisms, and all sources of food begin with primary producers (plants and algae which utilize photosynthesis).
