15 points! An atomic nucleus initially moving at 420 m/s emits an alpha particle in the direction of its velocity, and the remai
alexandr1967 [171]

The alpha particle is emitted at 4235 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the law of conservation of momentum to solve the problem: the total momentum of the original nucleus must be equal to the total momentum after the alpha particle has been emitted. Therefore:

p_i = p_f\\ Mu=m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 =  

where:  

M =222u is the mass of the original nucleus

v=420 m/s is the initial velocity of the nucleus

m_1 = 4 u is the mass of the alpha particle

v_1 is the final velocity of the alpha particle

m_2 = 222u-4u = 218 u is the mass of the daughter nucleus

v_2 = 350 m/s is the final velocity of the nucleus

Solving for v_1, we  find the final velocity of the alpha particle:

v_1 = \frac{Mu-m_2 v_2}{m_1}=\frac{(222)(420)-(218)(350)}{4}=4235 m/s

The howler monkey is the loudest land animal and, under some circumstances, can be heard up to a distance of 8.9 km. Assume the
Airida [17]

Answer:

\frac{I}{I_0}=113.68

Explanation:

P = Acoustic power = 63 µW

r = Distance to the sound source = 210 m

Acoustic power

P=IA\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{P}{A}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{63\times 10^{-6}}{4\times \pi \times 210^2}

Threshold intensity = I_0=1\times 10^{-12}\ W/m^2

Ratio

\frac{I}{I_0}=\frac{\frac{63\times 10^{-6}}{4\times \pi \times 210^2}}{1\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{I}{I_0}=113.68

Ratio of the acoustic intensity produced by the juvenile howler to the reference intensity is 113.68
