What is radioactivity

Physics
1 answer:
KATRIN_1 [288]3 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.

Ashkon throws a basketball across the court to his teammate. The ball has 57 J of potential energy and 61 J of kinetic energy. W
Gwar [14]
The total mechanical energy of the ball is the sum of its potential energy U and its kinetic energy K, therefore:
E=U+K=57 J+61 J=118 J
so, the total mechanical energy of the basketball is 118 J.

A 12 volt battery in a motor vehicle is capable of supplying the starter motor with 150 A. It is noticed that the terminal volta
qwelly [4]

Answer:0.0133 \Omega

Explanation:

Given

Voltage=12 V

Current(I)=150 A

V_{terminal}=10 V

r_{internal}=\frac{\Delta V}{I}

r_{internal}=\frac{12-10}{150}

r_{internal}=\frac{2}{150}=0.0133 \Omega

A student hears a police siren. What would change the frequency that the student hears? Check all that apply.
ser-zykov [4K]
<span>A student hears a police siren.

The arithmetic of the Doppler Effect shows that if the distance between
the source and observer is changing, then the observer hears a different
frequency compared to the frequency actually radiating from the source. 

Thus the first four choices would cause the student to hear a different
frequency:

-- if the student walked toward the police car
-- if the student walked away from the police car
-- if the police car moved toward the student
-- if the police car moved away from the student

The last two choices wouldn't affect the frequency heard by the student,
since the perceived frequency of a sound doesn't depend on its intensity.

-- if the intensity of the siren increased
-- if the intensity of the siren decreased.</span>
