Most likely it would dislodge the coconut on the way down due to gravity because on the way up the gravity would slow down the rock but on they down the gravity pulls the rock
The presence of helium gas indicates the radioactive sample is most likely decaying by α-decay, or alpha decay. α-decay is the type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits α particles. α particles are Helium nuclei. So the correct answer would be α-decay.
The problem seems to be incomplete because there is no question. However, from the problem description, the logical question is to find he acceleration needed by the jet to land on the airplane carrier. The working equation would be:
2ad = v₂² - v₁²
Since the jet stops, v₂ = 0. Substituting the values:
2(a)(95 m) = 0² - [(240 km/h)(1000 m/1 km)(1h/3600 s)]²
Solving for a,
<em>a = -23.39 m/s² (the negative sign indicates that the jet is decelerating)</em>
A. through a relatively short distance.
The speed is actually called the drift speed of the electron.
