How does radioactive decay work

Physics
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]4 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.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer: a network of several radio telescopes wired together 

Explanation:

A radio interferometer combines signals of several radio telescopes which are used in astronomical observations simultaneously to simulate a discretely-sampled single telescope of very large aperture

Interferometer, an instrument that uses the interference patterns formed by waves to measure certain characteristics of the waves themselves or of materials that reflect, refract, or transmit the waves. Interferometers can also be used to make precise measurements of distance.

An ambulance is traveling east at 61.9 m/s. Behind it there is a car traveling along the same direction at 28.5 m/s. The ambulan
inessss [21]

Answer: 0.4 m

Explanation:

Given

Speed of ambulance, vs = 61.9 m/s

Speed of car = 28.5 m/s

Frequency of ambulance siren, f = 694 Hz

Velocity of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

With speed of ambulance being (61.9 m/s) -> We solve using

fd = f(v + vr) / (v - vs), where vr = 0

fd = 694 * (343 + 0) / (343 - 61.9)

fd = 694 * (343 / 281.1)

fd = 694 * 1.22

fd = 847 Hz

Recall,

λ = v/f

λ = 343/847

λ = 0.4 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the sound of the ambulance’s siren if you are standing at the position of the car is 0.4 m

A 15 N force and a 45 N force act on in object in opposite directions. What is the net force on the object?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

30N in the direction the 45N acts.

Explanation:

Fnet = F1 + F2 (the vector sum of the forces)

Assigning a positive direction to the 45N force and a negative direction to the 15N force gives:

Fnet = 45 - 15

Fnet = 30N

Since the answer is positive, it is in the direction the 45N force acts.
