Beta emission is occurring in the given nuclear reaction.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

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 cannonball with a mass of 1.0 kilogram is fired horizontally from a 500.-kilogram cannon, initially at rest, on a horizontal,

vfiekz [6]

The impulse J is equal to the magnitude of the force applied to the cannonball times the time it is applied:
$J=F \Delta t$
But the impulse is also equal to the change in momentum of the cannonball:
$J=\Delta p$
If we put the two equations together, we find
$F \Delta t= \Delta p$
And since we know the magnitude of the average force and the time, we can calculate the change in momentum:
$\Delta p= F \Delta t=(8.0 \cdot 10^3 N)(1.0 \cdot 10^{-1} s)=800 kg m/s$

Which identifies a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy?

yKpoI14uk [10]

The answer is the option c. generator. Generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electricity. The way it is made is because the mechanical movement may be transformed in rotation of magnets placed inside a coiled wire, and this induces the movement of electrons through the coiled wire. As you know electricity is the flow of electrons.
