Answer:

Explanation:

mass number is now 4 times less than the original value so alpha decay occur during alpha decay the mass number is decreased 4 times and atomic number decreased 2 times than the original value

An object floats in water with 5 8 of its volume submerged. The ratio of the density of the object to that of water is
ki77a [65]

Answer:

\dfrac{5}{8}

Explanation:

m = Mass of object = \rho v

m' = Mass of water = \rho' v'

\rho = Density of object

\rho' = Density of water

Weight of the water displaced is the force in the case of floating objects

According to the question

v'=\dfrac{5}{8}v

In the case of floating objects

W=W'\\\Rightarrow mg=m'g\\\Rightarrow \rho vg=\rho'v'g\\\Rightarrow \rho v=\rho' \dfrac{5}{8}vg\\\Rightarrow \rho=\rho' \dfrac{5}{8}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\rho}{\rho'}=\dfrac{5}{8}

The ratio of the density of the object to that of water is \dfrac{5}{8}

You serve a volley ball with a mass of 2.1 kg. The ball leaves your hand with a speed of 30 m/s. The ball has_______ energy. Can
Greeley [361]
Kinetic energy because the ball is in motion or moving with energy behind it... kinda like when you shoot a gun, the bullet is fired out of the muzzle with kinetic energy ( Punch ) and the bullet goes through a wall or something. Sorry but my math skills aren't very good to give complex calculations but I would recommend that you maybe talk to some of the top ranking math guys on the website. Maybe they can give you better help...

Anyways, I hope I have been helpful to you.

007 (part 1 of 2) 1.0 points
levacccp [35]

Answer:

a) The angle of refraction is approximately 34.7

b) The angle the light have to be incident to give an angle of refraction of 90° is approximately 53.42°

Explanation:

According to Snell's law, we have;

\dfrac{n_1}{n_2} = \dfrac{sin (\theta_2)}{sin (\theta_1)}

The refractive index of the glass, n₁ = 1.66

The angle of incident of the light as it moves into water, θ₁ = 27.2°

a) The refractive index of water, n₂ = 1.333

Let θ₂ represent the angle of refraction of the light in water

By plugging in the values of the variables in Snell's Law equation gives;

\dfrac{1.66}{1.333} = \dfrac{sin (\theta_2)}{sin (27.2^{\circ})}

sin (\theta_2) = sin (27.2^{\circ}) \times \dfrac{1.66}{1.333} \approx 0.5692292265

θ₂ = arcsin(0.5692292265) ≈ 34.7°

The angle of refraction of the light in water, θ₂ ≈ 34.7°

b) When the angle of refraction, θ₂ = 90°, we have;

\dfrac{1.66}{1.333} = \dfrac{sin (90^{\circ})}{sin (\theta_1)}

sin (\theta_1) = \dfrac{sin (90^{\circ})}{\left( \dfrac{1.66}{1.333}\right)} = sin (90^{\circ}) \times \dfrac{1.333}{1.66} \approx 0.803

θ₁ ≈ arcsin(0.803) ≈ 53.42°

The angle of incident, θ₁, that would give an angle of refraction of 90° is θ₁ ≈ 53.42°

A particle is moving with (SHM) of period 8.0s and amplitude5.0m
nadezda [96]

Answer:

velocity(x)=15\,\frac{\pi}{4}\,cos(\frac{\pi}{4}x)

Max speed = \frac{15\, \pi}{4} \,\, \frac{m}{s}

Max acceleration = \frac{15\,\pi^2}{16} \,\,\frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

Given the description of period and amplitude, the SHM could be described by:

f(x)=5\,sin(\frac{\pi}{4}x)

and its angular velocity can be calculated doing the derivative:

f(x)=5\, \,sin(\frac{\pi}{4}x)\\f'(x)=5\,\frac{\pi}{4}\,cos(\frac{\pi}{4}x)

And therefore, the tangential velocity is calculated by multiplying this expression times the radius of the movement (3 m):

velocity(x)=15\,\frac{\pi}{4}\,cos(\frac{\pi}{4}x)  and is given in m/s.

Then the maximum speed is obtained when the cosine function becomes "1", and that gives:

Max speed = \frac{15\, \pi}{4} \,\, \frac{m}{s}

The acceleration is found from the derivative of the velocity expression, and therefore given by:

acceleraton(x)=-15\,\frac{\pi^2}{16}\,sin(\frac{\pi}{4}x)

and the maximum of the function will be obtained when the sine expression becomes "-1", which will render:

Max acceleration = \frac{15\,\pi^2}{16} \,\,\frac{m}{s^2}
