The complete equation is: 92238U --> 90234Th + 42He

This type of radiation is alpha decay in which an alpha particle is a Helium nucleus with 2 protons and 2 nuetrons. This nucleus/alpha particle(s) are released to stabilize the radioactive atom, in this case, the 92238Uranium.

the speed of light in a certain medium is 0.6c. find critical angle , if the index of refraction is 1.67​
baherus [9]

Answer:

\theta_c = 36.78^o

Explanation:

The relationship between the refractive index and the critical angle is given as follows:

\eta = \frac{1}{Sin\ \theta_c} \\\\Sin\ \theta_c = \frac{1}{\eta}\\\\\theta_c = Sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{\eta} )

where,

η = refractive index = 1.67

θc = critical angle =?

Therefore,

\theta_c = Sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{1.67} )

\theta_c = 36.78^o

If you traveled one mile at a speed of 100 miles per hour and another mile at a speed if 1 mile per hour, your average speed wou
Semenov [28]

Answer:

v = 1.98 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed to travel one mile is 100 mph

Speed to travel another mile is 1 mph

The formula used to find your average speed is given by :

v=\dfrac{2v_1v_2}{v_1+v_2}

Putting the values, we get :

v=\dfrac{2\times 100\times 1}{100+1}

v = 1.98 mph

So, yours average speed is 1.98 mph.

A 15 kg box is sliding down an incline of 35 degrees. The incline has a coefficient of friction of 0.25. If the box starts at re
valina [46]

The box has 3 forces acting on it:

• its own weight (magnitude <em>w</em>, pointing downward)

• the normal force of the incline on the box (mag. <em>n</em>, pointing upward perpendicular to the incline)

• friction (mag. <em>f</em>, opposing the box's slide down the incline and parallel to the incline)

Decompose each force into components acting parallel or perpendicular to the incline. (Consult the attached free body diagram.) The normal and friction forces are ready to be used, so that just leaves the weight. If we take the direction in which the box is sliding to be the positive parallel direction, then by Newton's second law, we have

• net parallel force:

∑ <em>F</em> = -<em>f</em> + <em>w</em> sin(35°) = <em>m a</em>

• net perpendicular force:

∑<em> F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> cos(35°) = 0

Solve the net perpendicular force equation for the normal force:

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> cos(35°)

<em>n</em> = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) cos(35°)

<em>n</em> ≈ 120 N

Solve for the mag. of friction:

<em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em>

<em>f</em> = 0.25 (120 N)

<em>f</em> ≈ 30 N

Solve the net parallel force equation for the acceleration:

-30 N + (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) sin(35°) = (15 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> ≈ (54.3157 N) / (15 kg)

<em>a</em> ≈ 3.6 m/s²

Now solve for the block's speed <em>v</em> given that it starts at rest, with <em>v</em>₀ = 0, and slides down the incline a distance of ∆<em>x</em> = 3 m:

<em>v</em>² - <em>v</em>₀² = 2 <em>a</em> ∆<em>x</em>

<em>v</em>² = 2 (3.6 m/s²) (3 m)

<em>v</em> = √(21.7263 m²/s²)

<em>v</em> ≈ 4.7 m/s
