Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An isotope with an unstable nucleus which decomposes readily and results in the emission of radiation and a nuclear electron or helium nucleus achieves a stable nuclear composition is known as a radioactive isotope.

For example, ^{210}_{84}Po \rightarrow ^{4}_{2}He + ^{206}_{82}Pb

Here isotope of polonium decomposes in order to achieve a stable nuclear composition.

Thus, we can conclude that an atom is unstable best describes a radioactive isotope.

The angular velocity of a flywheel obeys the equa tion w(1) A Br2, where t is in seconds and A and B are con stants having numer
makkiz [27]

Answer:

A \to rad/s

B  \to rad/s^3

Explanation:

\omega_z(t)=A + Bt^2

Required

The units of A and B

From the question, we understand that:

\omega_z(t) \to rad/s

This implies that each of A and Bt^2 will have the same unit as \omega_z(t)

So, we have:

A \to rad/s

Bt^2 \to rad/s

The unit of t is (s); So, the expression becomes

B * s^2 \to rad/s

Divide both sides by s^2

B  \to \frac{rad/s}{s^2}

B  \to rad/s^3

aleksklad [387]
The answer is 2.49 x 10^5 KJ. This was obtained (1) use the formula for specific heat to achieve Q or heat then (2) get the energy to melt the copper lastly (3) Subtract both work and the total energy required to completely melt the copper bar is achieved.
