What is an isotope ?

1 answer:

8 0

An isotope is a form of a chemical element whose atomic nucleus contains a specific number of neutrons in addition to the number of protons that distinctively defines the element. The nuclei of most atoms have neutrons as well as protons.

Answer:

T = 188.5 s, correct is C

Explanation:

This problem must be worked on using conservation of angular momentum. We define the system as formed by the fan and the paper, as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved

initial instant. Before the crash

L₀ = r m v₀ + I₀ w₀

the angular speed of the fan is zero w₀ = 0

final instant. After the crash

L_f = I₀ w + m r v

L₀ = L_f

m r v₀ = I₀ w + m r v

angular and linear velocity are related

v = r w

w = v / r

m r v₀ = I₀ v / r + m r v

m r v₀ = (I₀ / r + mr) v

v = $\frac{m}{\frac{I_o}{r} +mr} \ r v_o$

let's calculate

v = $\frac{0.020}{\frac{1.4}{0.6 } + 0.020 \ 0.6 } \ 0.6 \ 4$

v = $\frac{0.020}{2.345} \ 2.4$

v = 0.02 m / s

To calculate the time of a complete revolution we can use the kinematics relations of uniform motion

v = x / T

T = x / v

the distance of a circle with radius r = 0.6 m

x = 2π r

we substitute

T = 2π r / v

let's calculate

T = 2π 0.6/0.02

T = 188.5 s

reduce

t = 188.5 s ( 1 min/60 s) = 3.13 min

correct is C

A ball of mass M collides with a stick with moment of inertia I = βml2 (relative to its center, which is its center of mass). Th

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Part a)

$v_2 = \frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})}$

Part b)

$v_1 = v_0 - \frac{m}{M}(\frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})})$

Explanation:

Since the ball and rod is an isolated system and there is no external force on it so by momentum conservation we will have

$Mv_o = M v_1 + m v_2$

here we also use angular momentum conservation

so we have

$M v_o d = M v_1 d + \beta mL^2 \omega$

also we know that the collision is elastic collision so we have

$v_o = (v_2 + d\omega) - v_1$

so we have

$\omega = \frac{v_o + v_1 - v_2}{d}$

also we know

$M v_o d - M v_1 d = \beta mL^2(\frac{v_o + v_1 - v_2}{d})$

also we know

$v_1 = v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2$

so we have

$M v_o d - M(v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2)d = \beta mL^2(\frac{v_o + v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2 - v_2}{d})$

$mv_2 d = \beta mL^2\frac{2v_o}{d} - \beta mL^2(1 + \frac{m}{M})\frac{v_2}{d}$

now we have

$(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})v_2 = \frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}$

$v_2 = \frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})}$

Part b)

Now we know that speed of the ball after collision is given as

$v_1 = v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2$

so it is given as

$v_1 = v_0 - \frac{m}{M}(\frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})})$

The following equation is an example of decay? 232/90 TH---4/2 HE +228/88 RA?

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Alpha decay

Explanation:

Alpha decay is one of the three major types of decays, others being, beta decay and gamma decay.
When a radioactive isotope undergoes alpha decay it emits alpha particles. An alpha particle is equivalent to the nucleus of Helium atom.
Therefore, an atom undergoing decay, its atomic mass is decreased by 4 and its atomic number is decreased by 2.
Thus, since 232/90 Th, has undergone alpha decay its mass number is reduced by 4 to 228 and its atomic number by 2 to 88, and becomes 228/88 Ra.
