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.

$acceleration=\frac{\Delta\ velocity}{\Delta\ time}\\\\
v_{initial}=0,57m/s\\
distance=1360m\\ \Delta\ time=89,49seconds\\\\
v_{final}-v_{initial}=\frac{distance}{time}\\
v_{final}=\frac{distance}{time}+v_{initial}\\
v_{final}=\frac{1360}{89,49}+0,57\\\\v_{final}=15,77\frac{m}{s}\\\\
acceleration=\frac{15,77-0,57}{89,49}=0,17\frac{m}{s^2}\\\\ \boxed{acceleration=0,17\frac{m}{s^2}}$

The major problem with hydrogen as an alternative source of energy is that none exists on the surface of the earth. True or fals

Brut [27]

That statement is as false as false can be.

Roughly 78% of the Earth's surface is covered by water,
and Hydrogen is a major component of water.

On the surface of the Earth, you really have to try hard
to be far away from a cheap source of Hydrogen.

A student uses a stopwatch to measure the period of the pendulum of the Beverly clock in the corridor. His measurements are: (a)

Westkost [7]

Answer:

Reading is close to (b) 13.44 which is the best estimate of the period

Associated error, $\Delta E =0.178 s$

Given:

$t_{a} = 13.54 s$

$t_{b} = 13.44 s$

$t_{c} = 13.89 s$

$t_{d} = 13.41 s$

$t_{e} = 13.17 s$

$t_{f} = 13.22 s$

Solution:

1.The best estimate of the period can be calculated by the mean of the measurements and the one closest to the mean is the best estimate of the measurement:

$Mean, \bar {x} = \fra{sum of all observations}{No. of observation}$
