Answer:

Resistance = 1728.57 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 7 Watts

Voltage = 110 Volts

To find the resistance of each bulb;

Mathematically, power can be calculated using the formula;

$Power = \frac {Voltage^{2}}{resistance}$

Making resistance the subject of formula, we have;

$Resistance = \frac {Voltage^{2}}{power}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$Resistance = \frac {110^{2}}{7}$

$Resistance = \frac {12100}{7}$

Resistance = 1728.57 Ohms

A 500-g lump of clay is dropped onto a 1-kg cart moving at 60 cm/s. The clay is moving downward at 30 cm/s just before l dith t

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The speed of the cart and clay after the collision is 50 cm/s .

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of lump , m = 500 g = 0.5 kg .

Velocity of lump , v = 30 cm/s .

Mass of cart , M = 1 kg .

Velocity of cart , V = 60 cm/s .

We know by conservation of momentum :

$mv+MV=(m+M)v'$

Here , $v'$ is the speed of the cart and clay after the collision .

Putting all value in above equation .

We get :

$0.5\times 30+1\times 60=(0.5+1)\times v'\\\\v'=\dfrac{15+60}{1.5}\\\\v'=50\ cm/s$

Hence , this is the required solution .

The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon's surface is

Molodets [167]

Answer:

50 lb

Explanation:

Given,

The weight of astronaut's life support backpack on Earth (w) = 300 lb

Acceleration due to gravity on Earth (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity on Moon = g'

$g'=\frac{g}{6}$

We know that weight of an object on Earth is,

$w = m\times g$

$m = \frac{w}{g}$

Similarly, weight on Moon will be

$w' = m\times g'$

$w' = \frac{w}{g}\times\frac{g}{6}$

$w' = \frac{300}{6}$

$w' = 50$

Thus the astronaut's life support backpack will weigh 50 lb on Moon.

What would be the daughter product of the beta decay of lead-212 and what would be the daughter product of the alpha decay of po

kati45 [8]

Answer:

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82

Explanation:

Beta decay occurs when a neutron emits an electron and an anti neutrino from the atomic nucleus, therefore the atomic number of the material increases by one unit.

Pb + e + ν → Bi

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

In alpha decay, a helium nucleus is emitted from the nucleus of the atom, therefore the atomic number decreases by two units.

Po +α → Pb

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82
