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

Two cars travel westward along a straight highway, one at a constant velocity of 85 km/h, and the other at a constant velocity o
spayn [35]

To solve letter a:

d1 = 85t1 = 16 km, 
85t1 = 16, 
t1 = 16 / 85 = 0.1882 h = 11.29 min. 

d2 = 115t2 = 16 km, 
115t2 = 16, 
t2 = 16 / 115 = 0.139 h = 8.35 min. 

t1 - t2 = 11.29 - 8.35 = 2.94 min. 
Car #2 arrives 2.94 minutes sooner.

To solve letter b:

15 min = 1/4 h = 0.25 h. 
d1 = d2, 
115t = 85(t + 0.25), 
115t = 85t + 21.25, 
115t - 85t = 21.25, 
30t = 21.25, 
t = 21.25 / 30 = 0.71 h, 

d = 115 * 0.71 = 81.65 km.

the amount of surface area of the block contact with the surface is 2.03*10^-2*m2 what is the average pressure exerted on the su
CaHeK987 [17]

Complete question:

A block of solid lead sits on a flat, level surface. Lead has a density of 1.13 x 104 kg/m3. The mass of the block is 20.0 kg. The amount of surface area of the block in contact with the surface is 2.03*10^-2*m2, What is the average pressure (in Pa) exerted on the surface by the block? Pa

Answer:

The average pressure exerted on the surface by the block is 9655.17 Pa

Explanation:

Given;

density of the lead, ρ =  1.13 x 10⁴ kg/m³

mass of the lead block, m = 20 kg

surface area of the area of the block, A = 2.03 x 10⁻² m²

Determine the force exerted on the surface by the block due to its weight;

F = mg

F = 20 x 9.8

F = 196 N

Determine the pressure exerted on the surface by the block

P = F / A

where;

P is the pressure

P = 196 / (2.03 x 10⁻²)

P = 9655.17 N/m²

P = 9655.17 Pa

Therefore, the average pressure exerted on the surface by the block is 9655.17 Pa

A ball is dropped from a building taking 3sec to fall to the ground. Calculate:
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Vf = 29.4 m/s

h = 44.1 m

Explanation:

Data:

  • Initial Velocity (Vo) = 0 m/s
  • Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) = 3 s
  • Final Velocity (Vf) = ?
  • Height (h) = ?

==================================================================

Final Velocity

Use formula:

  • Vf = g * t

Replace:

  • Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 3s

Multiply:

  • Vf = 29.4 m/s

==================================================================

Height

Use formula:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{g*(t)^{2}}{2}}

Replace:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*(3s)^{2}}{2}}

Multiply time squared:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*9s^{2}}{2}}

Simplify the s², and multiply in the numerator:

  • \boxed{h=\frac{88.2m}{2}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{h=44.1\ m}

What is the velocity when falling to the ground?

The final velocity is <u>29.4 meters per seconds.</u>

How high is the building?

The height of the building is <u>44.1 meters.</u>
