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.

When a fixed amount of ideal gas goes through an isobaric expansion A) its internal (thermal) energy does not change.B) the gas
Bingel [31]
<h2>Answer: its temperature must increase.</h2>

Explanation:

In an isobaric process the pressure remains constant, which means the initial pressure and the final pressure will be the same.

In addition, during this thermodynamic process, the volume of the ideal gas expands or contracts in such a way that the variation of pressure \Delta P is neutralized.

Now, according to the First law of Thermodynamics that establishes the conservation of energy:

\Delta U=\Delta Q-\Delta W   (1)

Where:

\Delta U is the internal energy

\Delta Q is the heat transferred

\Delta W is the work

Now, for an isobaric process:

\Delta W=P\Delta V    (2)

Where:

P is the pressure (<u>always positive</u>)

\Delta V is the volume variation of the gas

<u />

<u>Here we have two possible results:</u>

-If the gas expands (positive \Delta V), the work is positive.

-If the gas compresses (negative \Delta V), the work is negative.

In this case we are talking about the first result (work is positive).

Then, according to the above, equation (1) can be written as follows:

\Delta U=\Delta Q - P\Delta V   (3)

Clearing \Delta Q:

\Delta Q=\Delta U+P \Delta V    (4)

Then, for an ideal gas in an isobaric process, part of the heat (Q) added to the system will be used to do work (positive in this case) and the other part <u>will increase the internal energy</u>, hence <u>the temperature will increase as well.</u>

George is applying a downward force of 50N to and object that has a mass of 50kg. What is the normal force (FN) of the object wh
attashe74 [19]

The normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction

<u>Explanation:</u>

As George is applying a downward force, the normal force will be in the upward direction. The normal force will be exerted due to the acceleration due to gravity exerted on the object.

So, as per Newton's second law, the normal force acting on the object can be measured by the product of mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity acting on the object.

But as the acceleration due to gravity is a downward acting acceleration and the normal force is a upward acting force, so the acceleration will be having a negative sign in the formula.

Normal\ force = Mass \times Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity

Here, acceleration due to gravity g = -10 m/s² and mass is given as 50 kg, then

Normal force = 50 × (-10) = -500 N

So, the normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction.

Hello,help me with this out please i need it hurry but please ensure your answer is correct..I attach here with my question.
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

.409 N

Explanation:

For this to balance, the moments around the fulcrum must sum to zero.

On the left you have   .21   ( is that down? I will assume it is)

      Counterclockwise moments :

        .21 * 40     +  1.0 * 20    

     Clockwise moments :

        .5 * 20     +     F * 45

these moments must equal each other

.21*40 + 1 *20   =  .5 * 20 + F * 45

   F = .409 N

the ratio of the energy per second radiated by the filament of a lamp at 250k to that radiated at 2000k, assuming the filament i
Naily [24]

Answer:

(a) \frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=2.4\ x\ 10^{-4}

(b) P =  0.816 Watt

Explanation:

(a)

The power radiated from a black body is given by Stefan Boltzman Law:

P = \sigma AT^4

where,

P = Energy Radiated per Second = ?

σ = stefan boltzman constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ W/m².K⁴

T = Absolute Temperature

So the ratio of power at 250 K to the power at 2000 K is given as:

\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=\frac{\sigma A(250)^4}{\sigma A(2000)^4}\\\\\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=2.4\ x\ 10^{-4}

(b)

Now, for 90% radiator blackbody at 2000 K:

P = (0.9)(5.67\ x\ 10^{-8}\ W/m^2.K^4)(1\ x\ 10^{-6}\ m^2)(2000\ K)^4

<u>P =  0.816 Watt</u>
