What two forces act in the nucleus to create a 'nuclear tug-of-war'?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex787 [66]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Electrostatic repulsion, strong nuclear force

Explanation:

The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. protons are positively charged while neutrons possess no charge.

Since protons are positively charged, they repel each other strongly (like charges repel). This strong repulsion of like charges makes the nucleus somewhat unstable leading to spontaneous fission of heavy nuclei.

However, an opposing force called nuclear attractive force tends to hold the nucleons together. This attraction occurs when two nucleons are bonded by a particle called a π meson.

Hence, the two forces that act in the nucleus to create a  'nuclear tug-of-war' are electrostatic repulsion and a strong nuclear force.

Federico has two samples of pure water—sample X and sample Y. Sample X has a volume of 1 L, and sample Y has a volume of 10 L. H
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The boiling point of sample X and sample Y are exactly the same.

Explanation:

The difference between sample X and sample Y is that they occupy different volumes. However, they both contain pure water. Remember that pure water has uniform composition irrespective of its volume.

Volume does not affect the boiling point as long as the volume is small enough not to give rise to significant pressure changes in the liquid.

The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the pressure exerted by the surroundings upon a liquid is equaled by the pressure exerted by the vapour of the liquid; under this condition, addition of heat results in the transformation of the liquid into its vapour without raising the temperature.

It can be clearly seen from the above that the volume of a solution of pure water does not affect its boiling point hence sample X and sample Y will have the same boiling point.

As the temperature of one of the four liquids increases, the vapor pressure will
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

a) increase exponentially.

Explanation:

The vapor pressure is depend only on temperature.

The vapor pressure of liquid does not depend upon amount of liquid. For example whether the liquid is 50 g or 30 g its vapor pressure will remain same according to the temperature.

The temperature and vapor pressure have exponential relationship. As the temperature of liquid increases its vapor pressure also goes to increase. When the temperature of liquid goes to decrease its vapor pressure also decreases.

The change in vapor pressure of substance when temperature changes is given as,

ln P₂/P₁ = ΔH(va)/R (1/T₁ - 1/T₂)

Transverse waves have motion perpendicular to velocity, while longitudinal waves have motion parallel to velocity.

Explanation:

The correct option of all is that transverse waves have motion perpendicular to velocity while longitudinal waves have motion parallel to velocity.

A wave is a disturbance that transmits energy from one point to another. There several types of waves like sound, electromagnetic , ocean waves etc.

  • Waves can be classified as either longitudinal or transverse waves based on the direction through which they are propagated.
  • Longitudinal waves are waves propagated parallel to the source of velocity.
  • An example is sound waves and seismic p-waves.
  • They have series of rarefaction and compression along their path.
  • Transverse waves are propagated perpendicular to their source.
  • An example is electromagnetic waves in which electrical and magnetic fields vibrates perpendicularly.
