How does radioactive decay work

Physics
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago

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.

kakasveta [241]
We determine the electric potential energy of the proton by multiplying the net electric potential to the charge of the proton. The net electric potential is the difference of the final state to the that of the initial state. So, it would be 275 - 125 = 150 V.

electric potential energy = 150 (<span>1.602 × 10-19) = 2.4x10^-17 J</span>

Magnetism/ magnetic field ana magnetic forces
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Magnetism is a physical phenomenon that manifests itself in a force acting between magnets or other magnetized or magnetisable objects, and a force acting on moving electric charges, such as in current-carrying cables. The force action takes place by means of a magnetic field, which is generated by the objects themselves or otherwise. There are natural and artificial magnets. All magnets have two poles called the north pole and the south pole. The north pole of one magnet repels the north pole of another magnet and attracts the south pole of another magnet; the same with south poles.

When a wire with a current is placed in a magnetic field, electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy
babymother [125]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

When a wire with a current is placed in a magnetic field, electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy. The transformation happens when the magnetic field produced by the current causes the wire to move.

slava [35]

Answer:

d) An object that is speeding up always has a positive acceleration, regardless of the direction it travels.

Explanation:

a ) a) An object that is slowing down while traveling in the negative x-direction always has a positive acceleration.

It has negative acceleration in  the negative x-direction.

b) An object that is speeding up while traveling in the negative x-direction always has a positive acceleration.

It has a positive acceleration in the negative x-direction'

c) An object that is slowing down always has a negative acceleration, regardless of the direction it travels.

It has a positive  acceleration in opposite direction.

e ) An object that is slowing down always has a positive acceleration, regardless of the direction it travels.

It has a positive acceleration only in opposite direction .
