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.

What does a black asphalt road become hotter than a white cement sidewalk in the same amount of sunlight?
victus00 [196]
The black means that it is a great emitter/absorber of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic radiation is reflected of the white and absorbed nurture black meaning that the temperature of the black tarmac increases to that greater the the white

As gravity continues to crush the inner core, the fusion of carbon and oxygen begins. What temperature is needed for the fusion
Olin [163]

Answer:

600,000,000 degree C

Explanation:

This stage is the last stage and is refereed to as supernova. In the beginning of this stage, gravity pulls the inner core and crush it, due to which fusion of atoms starts. Carbon and Oxygen fuse together and the temperature is about of 600,000,000 degree C.

The most heavier atom that can be formed out of this fusion is the iron. The moment all the atoms becomes of iron, no further fusion is possible hence that body emits radiation of high intensity and collapse causing a big supernova.

A real heat engine operates between temperatures tc and th. during a certain time, an amount qc of heat is released to the cold
tino4ka555 [31]

q_{c} = Heat released to cold reservoir

q_{h} = Heat released to hot reservoir

W_{max} = maximum amount of work

t_{c} = temperature of cold reservoir

t_{h} = temperature of hot reservoir

we know that

\frac{q_{c}}{q_{h}}=\frac{t_{c}}{t_{h}}

q_{h} = (\frac{t_{h}}{t_{c}})q_{c}                                eq-1

maximum work is given as

W_{max} = q_{h} - q_{c}

using eq-1

W_{max} =  (\frac{t_{h}}{t_{c}})q_{c} - q_{c}
