Radioactive decay is the loss of elementary particles from an unstable nucleus, ultimately changing the unstable element into another more stable element. There are five types of radioactive decay: alpha emission, beta emission, positron emission, electron capture, and gamma emission.

A ray diagram is shown. what does the letter x represent?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: Letter X in the diagram represent the angle of incidence

Explanation: One of the properties of wave is reflection. But before reflection can occur, there must have been a directed motion of wave particle towards a plane surface. The angle of incidence is the angle between the direction of motion of the wave particle ( for example; light) and the normal to the plane surface.

Before a collision, a 50.0-kg object is moving at +5.0 m/s. Find the impulse that acted on the object if, after the collision, i
Virty [35]

Answer:

<em>J=600 kg m/s </em>

Explanation:

<u>Impulse And Momentum </u>

Suppose a particle is moving at a certain speed v_1 and changes it to v_2. The impulse J is equivalent to the change of linear momentum. The momentum can be computed by

p=mv

The initial and final momentums are given, respectively, by:

p_1=mv_1,\ p_2=mv_2

Thus, the change of momentum is

\Delta p=p_2-p_1=m(v_2-v_1)

It's equal to the Impulse J

J=\Delta p

J=m(v_2-v_1)

Our data is

m=50\ kg,\ v_1=5\ m/s,\ v_2=17\ m/s

J=50\ (17-5)

J=600\ kg\ m/s
