Answer:

Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting one or more particles or photons.

Write a hypothesis about the pH level of common household solutions based on what you know about their physical and chemical pro
docker41 [41]

If pH is less than seven (pH<7), solution is acidic.

If pH is equal seven (pH = 7), solution is neutral.  

If pH is greater than seven (pH > 7), solution is basic.  

Some examples:

1) Acidic - gastric juices pH 1, lemon juice pH 2.2, tomato juice pH 4.

2) Neutral - salt solution pH 7.

3) Alkaline - baking soda pH 9, bleach pH 13.

pH is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.

A spring requires a force of 25 n to produce an extension of 2 cm in it. what is the work done in further extending it by 3 cm
Sonbull [250]
The force of a spring can be calculated by the expression:

F = kx  where k is a constant and x is the distance.

From the problem statement, we can solve the value of k from the initial conditions given as F = 25 N and x = 2 cm.

25 = k (0.02)
k = 1250

We use the work formula which is force times the distance resulting to the expression:

W = (1/2)(kx^2)
W = (1/2)(1250)(0.03^2)
W = 0.5625 J
