The atomic number of a nucleus decreases during which nuclear reactions?

1 answer:

5 0

A related type of beta decay actually decreases the atomic number of the nucleus when a proton becomes a neutron. Due to charge conservation, this type of beta decay involves the release of a charged particle called a “positron” that looks and acts like an electron but has a positive charge.

If two rocks with masses of 1 and 10 kilograms. What is the relation between their inertias Between their masses Between their w

Arada [10]

Greater the mass greater is inertia. Greater the inertia greater is the force required to stop motion of an object. Linear motion depends only on mass whereas rotational motion depends on mass, size and shape of an object. So conclusion is that it would be difficult to stop 10 kg mass cuz of greater inertia compared to 1kg mass. Hope it clears your doubt.

You are riding in an elevator that is accelerating upward. Suppose you stand on a scale. The reading on the scale is __________.

tatyana61 [14]

Given the following choices;

A) less than your true weight, mg.

B) equal to your true weight, mg.

C) more than your true weight, mg.

D) could be more or less than your true weight, mg, depending on the value of the speed.

The answer is; C

This is due to G-force. These are the perception of the weight of an object that is accelerating against gravity. We experience 1 g force on the surface of the earth because the ground exerts an upward exertion against gravity preventing as from falling to the center of the earth.

Give a strong idea to protect , purify and the beautify of the Dal lake

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Water in dal lake is test for any heavy metals and pollutant, sewage and drainage system are also monitored for the same.

Explanation:

Dal lake is located in Srinagar that is the state capital of Kashmir and is known for recreation and tourism purposes. The area covers about 18 km sq. and forms a part of natural wetlands.

The lake is prone to pollution and has recently undergone restoration measures. To address the problems of eutrophication algae and large-scale microplankton have been removed from the water.

The government of India has taken various measures to check the pollution by setting up a committee to monitor the proper use of allotted funds.

A constant force is applied to an object, causing the object to accelerate at 10 m/s^2. What will the acceleration be if: a) The

Liula [17]

What you need to know is that the force is

F=ma

The force is the product of mass and acceleration

this means that the acceleration is

a=F/m

a) The force is halved?
this means that f will be $\frac{F}{2}$ now:

a= $\frac{F}{2m}$

So the accelaration will also he halved (it's the original acceleratation divided by 2)

b) The object's mass is halved?
a= $\frac{F}{m/2}$ =a= $\frac{F2}{m}$

which is the original acceleration times two!! so it will double

c) The force and the object's mass are both halved?
now we have

a= $\frac{F/2}{m/2}$ =a= $\frac{2F}{2m}$ =a= $\frac{F}{m}$

so they will cancel each other out and the acceleration will stay the same!
