The two elements that produce background radiation on earth are Radon and Uranium. Airborne radon can decay on its own. Radon undergoes alpha decay to produce Polonium. Uranium naturally undergoes alpha decay to produce Thorium.
Answer:
An atom consists of a positively charged nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called electrons. The positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral.
Answer:
The answer to your question is: Initial temperature of copper = 67.1°C
Explanation:
Data
mass Copper = 248 g
volume Water = 390 ml
T1 water = 22.6°C
T2 = 39.9°C
T1 copper = ?
Specific heat water = 1 cal/g°C
Specific heat copper = 0.092 cal/g°C
Formula copper water
Heat is negative for copper because it releases heat
- mCp(T2 - T1) = mCp(T2 - T1)
- (248)(39.9 - T1) = 390 (1)((39.9 - 22.6) Substitution
-9895.2 + 248T1 = 390(17.3) Simplification
-9895.2 + 248T1 = 6747
248 T1 = 6747 + 9895.2
248 T1 = 16642.2
T1 = 16642.2 / 248
T1 = 67.1 °C Result
Jim, because he ran a greater distance in the same time :)
By the way, this is a maths question
