Beta emission is occurring in the given nuclear reaction.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this equation, the reactant is the Thorium atom, which is reduced to palladium. As the atomic number get decreased by one, so an electron will be emitted. This process of emission of electrons by radiation or decaying the reactant nuclei to form a new product nuclei is termed as beta emission.

So, the electrons are generally termed as beta particles while the positrons are termed as positive beta particles. So this is a kind of radioactive reactions where the reactant changes to new element by releasing an electron and thus there is a change in the atomic number of the product by one.

A. The potential energy stored in the compressed spring of a dart gun, with a spring constant of 62.00 N/m, is 0.940 J. Find by

valina [46]

a. The spring is compressed by 0.174 m.

b. The vertical distance the dart travels from its position when the spring is compressed to its highest position is 9.6 m.

c. The horizontal velocity of the dart at that time is 13.74 m/s.

d. The horizontal distance from the equilibrium position at which the dart hits the ground is 19.236 m.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

The energy by virtue of its position is called the potential energy.

a. Given is the potential energy stored in the compressed spring of a dart gun, with a spring constant of 62.00 N/m, is 0.940 J.

PE of spring = 1/2 kx²

Put the values, we get

P.E = 0.940 = 1/2 x 62 x²

x = 0.174 m

Thus, the spring is compressed by 0.174 m.

b. Given is a 0.010 kg dart is fired straight up.

The vertical height is find out by

0.940 J = (0.010 kg) (9.8 m/s²) h

h = 9.6 m

Thus, the vertical distance the dart travels from its position is 9.6 m

c. From the conservation of energy principle, total mechanical energy is conserved.

1/2 mv² =mgh

v = √2gh

Plug the values, we get

v = √2 x 9.8x 9.6

v = 13.74 m/s

Thus, the horizontal velocity is 13.74 m/s.

d. Time that dart spends in air, t = √2h/g

t = √(2x9.6)/9.81

t = 1.4 s

The horizontal distance from the equilibrium position at which the dart hits the ground.

Horizontal distance = (Velocity on x direction) x time

Horizontal distance = 13.74 m/s x 1.4s

Horizontal distance = 19.236 m

Thus, the horizontal distance is 19.236 m.

Water flows through a cast steel pipe (k = 50 W m.K, ε = 0.8) with an outer diameter of 104mm and 2 mm wall thickness. Calculate

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The heat loss per unit length is $\frac{Q}{L} = 2981 W/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The outer diameter of the pipe is $d = 104mm = \frac{104}{1000} = 0.104 m$

The thickness is $D = 2mm = \frac{2}{1000} = 0.002m$

The temperature of water is $T = 90^oC = 90 + 273 = 363K$

The outside air temperature is $T_a = -10^oC = -10 +273 = 263K$

The water side heat transfer coefficient is $z_1 = 300 W/ m^2 \cdot K$

The heat transfer coefficient is $z_2 = 20 W/m^2 \cdot K$

The heat lost per unit length is mathematically represented as

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{2 \pi (T - Ta)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_1} + \frac{ln [\frac{d}{D} ]}{z_2}}$

Substituting values

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{2 * 3.142 (363 - 263)}{ \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{300} + \frac{ln [\frac{0.104}{0.002} ]}{20}}$

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{628}{0.2107}$

$\frac{Q}{L} = 2981 W/m$

A ball is thrown straight up in the air. For which situations are both the instantaneous velocity and the acceleration zero? (Se

Gwar [14]

Answer:

Therefore, the situation in which both the instantaneous velocity and acceleration become zero, is the situation when the ball reaches the highest point of its motion.

Explanation:

When a ball is thrown upward under the free fall action of gravity, it starts to loose its Kinetic Energy as it moves upward. As the ball moves in upward direction, its kinetic energy gradually converts into its potential energy. As a result the speed of the ball starts to decrease as it moves up. Therefore, at the highest point during its motion, the velocity of ball becomes zero and it stops at the highest point for a moment, and then it starts to fall back down, under the influence of gravitational force.

Therefore, the situation in which both the instantaneous velocity and acceleration become zero, is the situation <u>when the ball reaches the highest point of its motion.</u>
