Radon-222 transforms into polonium-218 and an alpha particle (he-4). what else is created?

1 answer:

6 0

Hm pretty much that's all for alpha decay... But always after any alpha or beta decay, gamma photons are released because the daughter products end up in an excited state so they have to release energy through gamma decay

A cross-country skier can complete a 7.5 km race in 45 min. What is the skier’s average speed?

Alecsey [184]

To calculate for the average speed, we simply divide the total distance covered by the time it takes to travel that distance. In this case, we simply divide 7.5 km with 45 min. Therefore, the skier's average speed is 0.1667 km/min. Hope this helps.

A certain fm radio station broadcasts electromagnetic waves at a frequency of 125000 hertz. these radio waves travel at a speed

faltersainse [42]

Speed = frequency x wavelength
300,000,000 = 125000 x wavelength
wavelength = 125000/300,000,000 =4.16667x10^-4 meters
or 4.1667E-4 meters

A 30.0-Î¼F capacitor is connected to a 49.0-Î© resistor and a generator whose rms output is 30.0 V at 60.0 Hz. (a) Find the rms

Natali5045456 [20]

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitor = 30μC

Resistor = 49.0Ω

Voltage = 30.0 V

Frequency = 60.0 Hz

We need to calculate the impedance

Using formula of impedance

$Z=\sqrt{R^2+X_{c}^2}$ .....(I)

We need to calculate the value of $X_{c}$

Using formula of $X_{c}$

$X_{c}=\dfrac{1}{2\pi f c}$

$X_{c}=\dfrac{1}{2\times\pi\times60.0\times30\times10^{-6}}$

$X_{c}=88.42\ \Omega$

Put the value of $X_{c}$ into the formula of impedance

$Z=\sqrt{(49.0)^2+(88.42)^2}$

$Z=101.08\ \Omega$

(a). We need to calculate the rms current in the circuit

Using formula of rms current

$I_{rms}=\dfrac{V}{Z}$

$I_{rms}=\dfrac{30.0}{101.08}$

$I_{rms}=0.30\ A$

The rms current in the circuit is 0.30 A.

(b). We need to calculate the rms voltage drop across the resistor

Using formula of rms voltage

$V_{rms}=I_{rms}\times R$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{rms}=0.30\times49.0$

$V_{rms}=14.7\ V$

The rms voltage drop across the resistor is 14.7 V

(c). We need to calculate the rms voltage drop across the capacitor

Using formula of rms voltage

$V_{rms}=I_{rms}\times X_{C}$

$V_{rms}=0.30\times88.42$

$V_{rms}=26.53\ V$

The rms voltage drop across the capacitor is 26.53 V.

Hence, This is the required solution.

It is known that birds can detect the earth's magnetic field, but the mechanism of how they do this is not known. It has been su

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A) 0.50 mV

Explanation:

In this problem, we can think the wings of the bird as a metal rod moving across a magnetic field. So, and emf will be induced into the wings of the bird, according to the formula:

$\epsilon = BvL sin \theta$

where

$B=5\cdot 10^{-5} T$ is the strength of the magnetic field

v = 13 m/s is the speed of the bird

L = 1.2 m is the wingspan of the bird

$\theta=40^{\circ}$ is the angle between the direction of motion and the direction of the magnetic field

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

$\epsilon = (5.0\cdot 10^{-5} T)(13 m/s)(1.2 m) sin 40^{\circ}=0.00050 V = 0.50 mV$
