What is radioactivity

Physics
1 answer:
KATRIN_1 [288]4 years ago
3 0
Radioactivity refers to the particles which are emitted from nuclei as a result of nuclear instability. Because the nucleus experiences the intense conflict between the two strongest forces in nature, it should not be surprising that there are many nuclear isotopes which are unstable and emit some kind of radiation.

A light bulb radiates 110 nW of single-frequency sinusoidal electromagnetic waves uniformly in all directions. Calculate the ave
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The intensity of the light from the bulb would be

3.501 x 10^{-6} W/m^{2}

Explanation:

Given

The Power = 110 n W = 110 x 10^{-9} W

the distance r = 50 mm = 50 /1000 = 0.05 m

The intensity can be obtained with the relationship below;

I = Power/area ......1

The area of the sphere would be used in this case since the bulb is spherical;    A=4πr^{2}

Putting it into equation 1, we have;

I = P/ 4πr^{2}

I =  110 x 10^{-9} / 4 x π x 0.05^{2}

I = 3.501 x 10^{-6} W/m^{2}

Therefore the intensity of the light from the bulb would be

3.501 x 10^{-6} W/m^{2}

A 0.050 kg toy truck moving right at 0.20 m/s collided with a toy car weighing 0.015 kg initially at rest, on a frictionless tra
Kamila [148]

Answer:

0.1667 m/s

Explanation:

m1V1 + m2V2 = m1V3 + m2V4

0.01 = ( 0.0075) + (0.015 * V4)

V4 = (0.01 - 0.0075) / (0.015)

V4= 0.1667

a baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. the carriage with the baby has a mass of 1.5 kg. the carriage
Serga [27]
Height of baby carriage from ground = 21m

Mass of carriage with baby = 1.5 kg

The carriage has potential energy by virtue of its height.

Potential energy = mgh = 1.5×10×21 = 315 J

Hence, potential energy of the carriage is 315 Joule.
