Speed of the tip of the minute hand=V=0.0244 cm/s
Explanation:
The angular velocity of the minute hand is given by
T= time period of the minute hand=60 min=3600 s
so ω= 2 π/3600 rad/s
Now linear velocity v= r ω
r= radius of minute hand=14 cm
so v= 14 (2 π/3600)
V=0.0244 cm/s
Answer: beta particles
Explanation:
Given mass = 14.0 g
Molar mass = 137 g/mol
According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molecular mass and contains avogadro's number of particles.
1 mole of cesium contains atoms =
0.102 moles of cesium contains atoms =
The relation of atoms with time for radioactivbe decay is:
Where =atoms left undecayed
= initial atoms
t = time taken for decay = 3 minutes
= half life = 30.0 years =
minutes
The fraction that decays :
Amount of particles that decay is =
Thus beta particles are emitted by a 14.0-g sample of cesium-137 in three minutes.
