13. A nuclear decay chain represents

Physics
1 answer:
murzikaleks [220]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a series of  decays producing sequentially more stable nuclei

Explanation:

A nuclear decay chain represents a series of decays producing sequentially more stable nuclei.

  • For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures the stability of the nucleus.
  • Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio (i.e either too many neutrons or too many protons) will be unstable and split into one or more other nuclei with the attendant emission of small particles of matter.
  • The decay process is a continuous chain reaction steps.
  • Until stability of the nucleus is attain, it continues.

[OU.04]What type of galaxy is described as having a circular shape with most of the objects concentrated around its center? spir
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

spiral

Explanation:

A galaxy may be defined as the huge collection of celestial bodies like the stars, planets, dark matters, dust and gases and the solar systems. It is derived from the Greek work, 'Galaxias' , which means "milky". There are many types of galaxies. They are : Spiral galaxy, Elliptical galaxy, Irregular galaxy and Barred spiral galaxy.

A spiral galaxy is one which contains a sphere shaped bulge which consists of old stars and it is devoid of dust and gas. Its circular shape composes a disk. It is of circular shape having most of the objects concentrated in its center.

What is the frequency of a sound wave having a velocity of 341 meters/second and a wavelength of 0.8 meters?
Brums [2.3K]
We know, Frequency = speed / wavelength 
f = 341 / 0.8
f = 426.25 Hz

In short, Your Answer would be 426.25 Hz

Hope this helps!

When this current is closed which way does the current flow
Anastaziya [24]
Well, Godess, that's not a simple question, and it doesn't have
a simple answer.

When the switch is closed . . .

"Conventional current" flows out of the ' + ' of the battery, through R₁ ,
then through R₂ , then through R₃ .  It piles up on the right-hand side of
the capacitor (C).  It repels the ' + ' charges on the left side of 'C', and
those flow into the ' - ' side of the battery.  So the flow of current through
this series circuit is completely clockwise, around toward the right. 

That's the way the first experimenters pictured it, that's the way we still
handle it on paper, and that's the way our ammeters display it.

BUT . . .

About 100 years after we thought that we completely understand electricity,
we discovered that the little tiny things that really move through a wire, and
really carry the electric charge, are the electrons, and they carry NEGATIVE
charge.  This turned our whole picture upside down.

But we never changed the picture !  We still do all of our work in terms of
'conventional current'.  But the PHYSICAL current ... the actual motion of
charge in the wire ... is all exactly the other way around.

In your drawing ... When the switch is closed, electrons flow out of the 
' - ' terminal on the bottom of the battery, and pile up on the left plate of
the 'C'.  They repel electrons off of the right-side of 'C', and those then
flow through R₃ , then through R₂ , then through R₁ , and finally into the
' + ' terminal on top of the battery.

Those are the directions of 'conventional' current and 'physical' current
in all circuits.

In the circuit of YOUR picture that you attached, there's more to the story:

Battery current can't flow through a capacitor.  Current flows only until
charges are piled up on the two sides of 'C' facing each other, and then
it stops.

Wait a few seconds after you close the switch in the picture, and there is
no longer any current in the loop.

To be very specific and technical about it . . .

-- The instant you close the switch, the current is

       (battery voltage) / (R₁ + R₂ + R₃)        amperes

but it immediately starts to decrease.

--  Every  (C)/((R₁ + R₂ + R₃)  seconds after that, the current is

                  e⁻¹  =  about  36.8 %

less than it was that same amount of time ago.

Now, are you glad you asked ?

Four students measured the same line with a ruler like the one shown below. The results were as follows: 5.52 cm, 6.63 cm, 5.5,
hammer [34]

Answer:

1) 5.52 cm , C) 5.5 cm

Explanation:

When a measurement is carried out, in addition to the value of the magnitude, the error or uncertainty of the measurement must occur, in a direct measurement with an instrument the uncertainty is equal to the appreciation of the instrument.

Uniform see the errors by the number of significant figures days, in this cases they are two decimals for which the appreciation of the instrument ± - 0.01

now we can analyze the measurements made

1) 5.52 cm. Validate. It is a valid measurement is within the uncertainty range

2) 6.63 cm. It does not validate. It is out of the error range

3) 5.5 cm Valid. It is within the given error range,

4) 5.93 cm Not Valid. It is out of the error range.
