Answer:

Radioactive decay is the process in which the nucleus of an unstable isotope spontaneously changes, releasing particles and energy. An unstable isotope will continue to decay until it reaches the stable form of either a different isotope of the same element that is stable or a different element that is stable.

just copy n paste that.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

weight of car = 600 kg .

According to Archimedes principle , for free floatation ,

weight of car = weight of displaced water

600 x 9.8 = v x 10³ x 9.8 , v is volume of water displaced and 10³ kg/ m³ is density of water.

v = .6 m³

required fraction

= .6 / 2

= .3

b )

Let mass of water entering before the start of sinking of car .

mass of maximum displaced volume of water by car = 2 x 10³m³.

(600 + m ) x g = 2 x 10³ x g         [   10³ is density of water    ]

600 + m = 2000

m = 1400 kg .

The ballistic pendulum is a device used to measure the speed of a projectile such as a bullet. The projectile of mass m is fired
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Relation between initial speed of bullet and height h is given as

v = \frac{m + M}{m}\sqrt{2gh}

Explanation:

As we know that system of block and bullet swings up to height h after collision

So we have

(m + M)gh = \frac{1}{2}(m + M)v_1^2

so we have

v_1 = \sqrt{2gh}

so speed of the block + bullet just after the impact is given by above equation

Now we also know that there is no force on the system of bullet + block in the direction of motion

So we can use momentum conservation

mv = (m + M)v_1

now we have

v = \frac{m + M}{m}\sqrt{2gh}

A pair of narrow slits, separated by 1.8 mm, is illuminated by a monochromatic light source. Light waves arrive at the two slits
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

750 nm

Explanation:

d  = separation of the slits = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m

λ = wavelength of monochromatic light

D  = screen distance = 4.8 m

y = position of first bright fringe = \frac{1cm}{5 fringe} = \frac{0.01}{5} = 0.002 m

n  = order = 1

Position of first bright fringe is given as

y = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}

0.002 = \frac{(1)(4.8)\lambda }{0.0018}

λ = 7.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 750 nm

One of the most important properties of materials in many applications is strength. Two of the qualitative measures of the stren
katrin2010 [14]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Tensile Strength and Shear Strenght.

In Materials Mechanics, generally the bodies under certain loads are subject to both Tensile and shear strenghts.

By definition we know that the tensile strength is defined as

\sigma = \frac{F}{A}

Where,

\sigma =Tensile strength

F = Tensile Force

A = Cross-sectional Area

In the other hand we have that the shear strength is defined as

\sigma_y = \frac{F_y}{A}

where,

\sigma_y =Shear strength

F_y = Shear Force

A_0 =Parallel Area

PART A) Replacing with our values in the equation of tensile strenght, then

311*10^6 = \frac{F}{(15*10^{-6})(30*10^{-2})}

Resolving for F,

F= 1399.5N

PART B) We need here to apply the shear strength equation, then

\sigma_y = \frac{F_y}{A}

210*10^6 = \frac{F_y}{15*10^{-6}30*10^{-2}}

F_y = 945N

In such a way that the material is more resistant to tensile strength than shear force.

The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. Being positively charged, the protons repel each other. The nucleus should fly apart
Arte-miy333 [17]

this is due to the existence of other forces called the strong nuclear forces that overcomes the repulsion forces between the protons and keeps the nucleons holding to each other also there is a type of energy that is called the nuclear binding energy and this energy also works on binding the components of the nucleus together
