Here in all nuclear reactions we can say that mass conservation and charge conservation is always true

Here iron nuclei smashed into lead nuclei and then a new nuclei will form which will released along with a neutron

Now in this reaction mass and charge will remain conserved

mass number of iron + mass number of lead = mass number of new nuclei + mass number of neutron

58 + 208 = x + 1

x = 265

so the new nuclei formed will have mass number A = 265

now we will use charge conservation

Number of protons in iron + number of protons in lead = number of protons in new nuclei + number of protons in neutron

26 + 82 = z + 0

z = 108

so the new nuclei will form with atomic number z = 108 and mass number A = 265

If we refer periodic table to find such atom we will see that this is ^{265}Hs

so the new nuclei formed is ^{265}Hs

A car is traveling at a speed of 54 km/h. Breaks are applied so as to produce a uniform acceleration of -0.5 m/s2. Find how far
Lena [83]

Explanation:

u=54 km/h

54*5/18=15 m/s

v=0m/s

t=?

acceleration=-0.5m/s^2

we know that a=v-u/t

so,

t=v-u/a

t=15-0/0.5

=15/0.5

=30

therefore, the time is 30 second

Hope this answer helps you..

An object is moving in a straight line along the y axis. As a function of time, its position is given by the equation y=3.0+4.8x
romanna [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Instant Velocity and Acceleration </u>

Give the position of an object as a function of time y(x), the instant velocity can be obtained by

v(x)=y'(x)

Where y'(x) is the first derivative of y respect to time x. The instant acceleration is given by

a(x)=v'(x)=y''(x)

We are given the function for y

y(x)=3.0+4.8x +6.4x^2

Note we have changed the last term to be quadratic, so the question has more sense.

The velocity is

v(x)=y'(x)=4.8+12.8x

And the acceleration is a(x)=v'(x)=12.8

Rearrange the formula F=ma, and solve for the variable (a)
jeyben [28]

Answer:

a = F/m

Explanation:

So we have to isolate a, in order to do this we need to move m to the other side, and we do that by diving both sides by m, resulting in a = F/m

The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 5.05 km/s, while that of the longitudinal waves is 8.585 km/s.
sattari [20]

Answer:

d=691.71km

Explanation:

The time lag between the arrival of transverse waves and the arrival of the longitudinal waves is defined as:

t=\frac{d}{v_t}-\frac{d}{v_l}

Here d is the distance at which the earthquake take place and v_t, v_l is the velocity of the transverse waves and longitudinal waves respectively. Solving for d:

t=d(\frac{1}{v_t}-\frac{1}{v_l})\\d=\frac{t}{\frac{1}{v_t}-\frac{1}{v_l}}\\d=\frac{56.4s}{\frac{1}{5.05\frac{km}{s}}-\frac{1}{8.585\frac{km}{s}}}\\d=691.71km
