Describe radioactive decay.

Physics
1 answer:
Snezhnost [94]3 years ago
7 0

The spontaneous transformation of an unstable atomic nucleus into a lighter one, in which radiation is released in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and other particles. The rate of decay of radioactive substances such as carbon 14 or uranium is measured in terms of their half-life .

When a comet comes close to the Sun, what happens to it that makes it bright and easier to see?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comet is made by dust particles, icy particles, gases etc.

A comet has a fixed time to complete a revolution around the sun.

As a comet comes nearer to the sun, due to the heat of the sun the vapour and the icy particles becomes gases and due to the radial pressure of energy od sun, we observe a tail of comet which has vapours mainly. SI the comet is visible easily.

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

a) b) d)

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. The Complete question might be

In an inertial frame of reference, a series of experiments is conducted. In each experiment, two or three forces are applied to an object. The magnitudes of these forces are given. No other forces are acting on the object. In which cases may the object possibly remain at rest? The forces applied are as follows: Check all that apply.

a)2 N; 2 N

b) 200 N; 200 N

c) 200 N; 201 N

d) 2 N; 2 N; 4 N

e) 2 N; 2 N; 2 N

f) 2 N; 2 N; 3 N

g) 2 N; 2 N; 5 N

h ) 200 N; 200 N; 5 N

For th object to remain at rest, sum of all forces must be equal to zero. Use minus sign to show opposing forces

a) 2+(-2)=0 here minus sign is to show the opposing firection of force

b) 200+(-200)=0

c) 200+(-201)\neq0

d) 2+2+(-4)=0

e) 2+2+(-2)\neq0

f) 2+2+(-3) \neq0; 2+(-2)+3\neq0

g) 2+2+(-5)\neq0; 2+(-2)+5\neq0

h)200 + 200 +(-5)\neq0; 200+(-200)+5\neq0

A. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?
Andrews [41]

Explanation:

Coefficient of kinetic friction is the resistive force that opposes the motion of a body as it moves and is in contact with another body.

It is found by dividing the frictional force by the normal force.

  • Friction is a force that opposes motion.
  • Static friction is for bodies that are not in motion
  • Kinetic friction is for moving bodies.
