How does radioactive decay work

Physics
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.

A person is filling a knee-high bucket with water using a garden hose and holding it such that water discharges from the hose at
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Yes i am agree with this suggestion

Explanation:

Given that we have to assume that there is no any frictional affects.

As we know that when height increases then the discharge level will decreases when discharge level decreases then the time of filling for the bucket will increase.So the  bucket will fill faster if the hose lowered until knee level.

Yes i am agree with this suggestion

A horizontal rectangular surface has dimensions 2.80 cm by 3.20 cm and is in a uniform magnetic field that is directed at an ang
koban [17]

Answer:

magnitude of the magnetic field 0.692 T

Explanation:

given data

rectangular dimensions = 2.80 cm by 3.20 cm

angle of 30.0°

produce a flux Ф = 3.10 × 10^{-4}  Wb

solution

we take here rectangular side a and b as a = 2.80 cm and b = 3.20 cm

and here angle between magnitude field and area will be ∅ = 90 - 30

∅ = 60°

and flux  is express as

flux Ф = \int \vec{B}.d\vec{A}   .................1

and Ф = BA cos∅    ............2

so B = \frac{\phi }{Acos\theta }    

and we know

A = ab

so

B = \frac{\phi }{abcos\theta }    ..............3

put here value

B =  \frac{3.10\times 10^{-4} }{2.80 \times 10^{-2}\times 3.20 \times 10^{-2}\times cos60}  

solve we get

B = 0.692 T

1. Calculati greutatea unui sac cu 5 kg de cartofi într-o zonă in care acceleratia gravitatională
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

the weight is 49.1 N

Explanation:

The computation of the weight is shown below:

As we know that

= 5kg of potatoes × gravitational acceleration

= 5kg of potatoes × 9.82 m/s

= 49.1 N

Hence, the weight is 49.1 N

We simply applied the above formula in order to determine the weight

You toss a 0.40-kg ball at 9.0 ms/ to a 14-kg dog standing on an iced-over pond. The dog catches the ball and begins to slide on
just olya [345]

Answer:

a)   v_{f} = 0.25 m / s  b) u = 0.25 m / s

Explanation:

a) To solve this problem let's start with the conservation of the moment, for this we define a system formed by the ball plus the dog, in this case all the forces are internal and the moment is conserved

We will write the data

     m₁ = 0.40 kg

     v₁₀ = 9.0 m / s

     m₂ = 14 kg

     v₂₀ = 0

Initial

     po = m₁ v₁₀

Final

     p_{f} = (m₁ + m₂) vf

     po = pf

     m₁ v₁₀ = (m₁ + m₂) v_{f}

      v_{f} = v₁₀ m₁ / (m₁ + m₂)

      v_{f} = 9.0 (0.40 / (0.40 +14)

      v_{f} = 0.25 m / s

b) This is the reference frame of the center of mass of the system in this case the speed of this frame is the speed of the center of mass

      u = 0.25 m / s

In the direction of movement of the ball

c) Let's calculate the kinetic energy in both moments

Initial

     K₀ = ½ m₁ v₁₀² +0

     K₀ = ½ 0.40 9 2

     K₀ = 16.2 J

Final

     K_{f}= ½ (m₁ + m₂) v_{f}2

      K_{f} = ½ (0.4 +14) 0.25 2

    K_{f} = 0.45 J

   

    ΔK = K₀ -  K_{f}

    ΔK = 16.2-0.445

    ΔK = 1575 J

These will transform internal system energy

d) In order to find the kinetic energy, we must first find the velocities of the individual in this reference system.

      v₁₀’= v₁₀ -u

      v₁₀’= 9 -.025

      v₁₀‘= 8.75 m / s

      v₂₀ ‘= v₂₀ -u

      v₂₀‘= - 0.25 m / s

      v_{f} ‘=   v_{f} - u

      v_{f} = 0

Initial

    K₀ = ½ m₁ v₁₀‘² + ½ m₂ v₂₀‘²

    Ko = ½ 0.4 8.75² + ½ 14.0 0.25²

    Ko = 15.31 + 0.4375

    K o = 15.75 J

Final

   k_{f} = ½ (m₁ + m₂) vf’²

  k_{f} = 0

All initial kinetic energy is transformed into internal energy in this reference system
