<u>Answer:</u> The radiation emitted will have negligible mass number.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Radioactive decay is defined as the process in which an unstable nuclei breaks down into stable nuclei via various methods.

An isotope undergoes a radioactive decay to attain stability.

There are three types of decay process, but the process in which the emitted radiation carries a charge of -1 is beta decay.

Beta decay is defined as the decay process in which a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron.  In this decay process, beta particle is emitted. The emitted particle carries a charge of -1 units and has a mass of 0 units. The released beta particle is also known as electron.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta

Hence, the radiation emitted will have negligible mass number.

A jet accelerates from rest down a runway at 1.75m/s² for a distance of 1500 m before takeoff.
babunello [35]
A. Using the third equation of motion:
v2 = u2 + 2as
from the question;
the jet was initially at rest
hence u = 0
a = 1.75m/s2
s = 1500m
v2 = 02 + 2(1.75)(1500)
v2 = 5250
v = √5250
v = 72.46m/s
hence it moves with a velocity of 72.46m/s.
b. s = ut + 1/2at2
1500 = 0(t) + 1/2(1.75)t2
1500 × 2 = 2× 1/2(1.75)t2
3000 = 1.75t2
1714.29 = t2
41.4 = t
hence the time taken for the plane to down the runway is 41.4s.

Pascal has 96 miles remaining to complete his cycling trip. If he reduced his current speed by 4 miles per hour, the remainder o
Verdich [7]

Answer:

V = 20 miles /sec

Explanation:

We have remaining distance   =  d  = 96 miles

Lets call  Pascal velocity  V in miles per hour

Now if he increases his velocity by  50 % (equivalent to multiply by 1.5 ) he will need a time t₁ to arrive then as V = d/t

1.5* V  = d/ t₁      ⇒   1.5 * V  =  96 /t₁

And in the case of reducing his velocity

(V / 4) = d/ (t₁ + 16 )     ⇒  V * (t₁ + 16 ) = 4*d     ⇒ V*t₁ + 16*V = 384

So we a 2 equation system with two uknown variables

1.5*V = 96/t₁      (1)

V*t₁  + 16*V = 384     (2)

We solve  from equation    (1)      t₁  = 64/V

And by substitution   in equation (2)

V * (64/V) + 16* V = 384

64  + 16 *V  = 384         ⇒   16*V = 320      ⇒  V= 320/16

V = 20 miles /sec

As the mass of an object increases so does its gravitational force. <br> a. True <br> b. False
vichka [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Gravity force is constant.

There some places on Earth that gravity has a variation, but in general, it is the same everywhere.

If you analyze the equation for the weight, which is the action of the gravity to mass, you'll see that W=mg, where m is the mass and g, is gravity.

If you increase the mass, what you are increasing is weight and not gravity.

Imagine a system where a block rests on an inclined plane. The block is then given an initial push so that it starts sliding dow
Helen [10]

Answer:

statement - 'The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push' is correct.

Explanation:

The statement ''The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push" is correct.

The above statement is correct because, the initial push will tend to slide down the block thus the work done by the initial push will be in the downward direction. Also, the gravity always acts in the downward direction. thus, the work done done by the gravity will also be in the downward direction

here, the downward direction signifies the downward motion parallel to the inclined plane.

Now we know that the work done by the friction is against the direction of motion. Thus, the friction force will tend to move the block up parallel to the inclined plane.

Hence, for the block to stop sliding the the above statement should be true.

A stunt woman attempts to swing from the roof of a m 24 high building to the bottom of an identical building using a m 24 rope,
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Height from ground is 8 m where string will break

Explanation:

Let the string makes some angle with the vertical after some instant of time

So here we have

T - mg cos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}

T = mg cos\theta + \frac{mv^2}{R}

now by energy conservation we have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mg(R cos\theta)

mv^2 = 2mgR cos\theta

T = mg cos\theta + 2mgcos\theta

T = 3mg cos\theta

For string break down we have

T = 2mg = 3mgcos\theta

cos\theta = \frac{2}{3}

Now height from the ground is given as

h = R - Rcos\theta

h = 24 - 24(\frac{2}{3})

h = 8 cm
