The object takes 0.5 seconds to complete one rotation, so its rotational speed is 1/0.5 rot/s = 2 rot/s.

Convert this to linear speed; for each rotation, the object travels a distance equal to the circumference of its path, or 2<em>π</em> (1.2 m) = 2.4<em>π</em> m ≈ 7.5 m, so that

2 rot/s = (2 rot/s) • (2.4<em>π</em> m/rot) = 4.8<em>π</em> m/s ≈ 15 m/s

thus giving it a centripetal acceleration of

<em>a</em> = (4.8<em>π</em> m/s)² / (1.2 m) ≈ 190 m/s².

Then the tension in the rope is

<em>T</em> = (50 kg) <em>a</em> ≈ 9500 N.

The following equation is an example of decay?<br><br> 232/90 TH---4/2 HE +228/88 RA?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Alpha decay

Explanation:

  • Alpha decay is one of the three major types of decays, others being, beta decay and gamma decay.
  • <em><u>When a radioactive isotope undergoes alpha decay it emits alpha particles. An alpha particle is equivalent to the nucleus of Helium atom.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore, an atom undergoing decay, its atomic mass is decreased by 4 and its atomic number is decreased by 2. </u></em>
  • Thus, since 232/90 Th, has undergone alpha decay its mass number is reduced by 4 to 228 and its atomic number by 2 to 88, and becomes 228/88 Ra.

Green light can have a wavelength of 512 nm. The energy of a photon of this light is
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

E = 3.88 * 10^{-17} J

Explanation:

Energy is directly proportional to frequency and it is given as:

E = hf

where h = Planck's constant

f = frequency

To get frequency, we use the formula of speed:

c = λf

where c = speed of light

λ = wavelength

=> f = c/λ

Therefore, the energy of the photon will be:

E = hc/λ

E = \frac{6.626 * 10^{-34} * 3 * 10^{8}  }{512 * 10^{-9} }

E = 3.88 * 10^{-17} J

The energy of the photon is 3.88 * 10^{-17} J
