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.

A box is being moved with a velocity (v) by a force P (parallel to v) along a level horizontal floor. The normal force is (Fn),

labwork [276]

Answer:

Force (P) : Positive

Normal Force (Fn) : Zero

Weight (mg) : Zero

Kinetic Frictional Force (fk) : Negative

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by the following formula:

W = F.d

W = F d Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done

f = Force Applied

d = displacement

θ = Angle between force and displacement

FOR FORCE (P):

Since, force P is parallel to the motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 0°

Hence,

W = P d Cos 0°

W = P d(1)

W = Pd

Therefore, work done by force (P) is Positive.

FOR NORMAL FORCE (Fn) AND WEIGHT (W):

Since, normal force and weight are perpendicular to the motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 90°

Hence,

W = Fn d Cos 90°= mg d Cos 90°

W = Fn d(0) = mg d (0)

W = 0

Therefore, work done by Normal Force (Fn) and Weight (mg) is Zero.

FOR KINETIC FRICTIONAL FORCE (fk):

Since, kinetic frictional force acts in the opposite direction of motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 180°

Hence,

W = fk d Cos 180°

W = fk d(-1)

W = -fk d

Therefore, work done by Kinetic Frictional Force (fk) is Negative.

What is amplitude?

nydimaria [60]

1. Frequency is the number of complete waves that pass a point in a second. 2.Wavelength is the distance between two crests or two troughs. 3.Time period is the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point. 4. Amplitude is the height of the wave. Hence option 4 is correct.

Tom is sitting facing forward in the train as it is getting ready to leave the station. He puts a smooth ball on the train floor

Vesnalui [34]

According to Newton's first law of motion, what happens to the ball is the ball rolls backward.

<h3>What is the first law?</h3>

This means that an object at rest or in motion will remain uniformly rectilinear and tend to be in that state if the net force on it is zero.

In this case, we have to think that the ball is at rest and the train is moving with a velocity that way, the reaction of the ball will be to go in the opposite direction to the motion.
