Rdaioactive  decay results in the formation of a different element. Plutonium decays by emitting alpha emission to form uranium. Thermal energy is emitted as the alpha particles are absorbed and the kinetic energy  is converted to heat. The amount of energy is computed by the formula;
E = mc²
E = 0.000046 × (3 ×10^8) 
 Energy = 4.14 ×10^13 Joules

A car is traveling at 15kph and speeds up to 30kph in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration?
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

the acceleration is 3 k/h/s

Explanation:

The formula for acceleration is Δv/t, so change in velocity divided by time.

The original velocity is 15 kph, and the final velocity is 30 kph. Therefore, the change in velocity is 15 kph. 15/5=3 k/h/s

How many grams of CH4 will be in a 500ml contain at STP?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Mass = 0.32 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CH₄ = ?

Volume of CH₄ = 500 mL (500 mL× 1L/1000 mL= 0.5 L)

Temperature = 273 K

Pressure = 1 atm

Solution:

Volume of CH₄:

500 mL (500 mL× 1L/1000 mL= 0.5 L)

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

By putting values,

1 atm× 0.5 L = n×0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  × 273 K

0.5 atm.L = n×22.4 atm.L/ mol

n = 0.5 atm.L / 22.4 atm.L/ mol

n = 0.02 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.02 mol × 16 g/mol

Mass = 0.32 g

How do scientists design roller coasters without using an engine?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Before a rollercoaster ride begins, an electric winch winds the cars to the top of the first hill. That can take a while, because some rollercoasters start off nearly 100m (330ft) in the air!

The winch has to use energy to pull the rollercoasters up the hill, but that energy doesn't simply disappear. The rollercoaster cars store it just by being up in the air—and the higher up they are, the more energy they store. They'll use the same energy to race back down the hill when the ride begins. Because they have the ability (or potential) to use in the future energy that was stored in the past, we call the energy they're storing potential energy.
