Tritium, the 3H atom, consists of a nucleus of one proton and two neutrons with a single electron. It is unstable and decays via

beta emission to singly ionized helium, 3 He , consisting of a nucleus of two protons and one neutron with a single electron. This decay takes place instantaneously and thus there occurs a sudden doubling of the Coulomb interaction between the atomic electron and the nucleus. If the tritium atom is in its ground state when it decays, determine the probability that the 3He atom is in its ground state immediately after the decay.
Required:
Determine the probability that the 3H^+ atom is in its ground state immediately after decay.

Answer: hello your question is poorly written attached below is the complete question

P(  ³₂He₊ )  at ground state = 1

Explanation:

<u>Determine the probability that the  3He atom is in its ground state after decay</u>

From the attached solution the coulomb interaction of ( ³₂He)  is double that of H³ . given that coulomb interaction is attractive ( -ve ) this will make  the product to become more stable hence the product ( ³₂He₊ ) will be gotten at the ground state

i.e. P(  ³₂He₊ )  at ground state = 1

attached below is a detailed solution

Wha is the frequency of a wave having a period equal to 18 seconds?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

5.5 × 10-2 hertz

Explanation:

The time taken by a wave crest to travel a distance equal to the length of wave is known as wave period.

= 0.055 per second          (1 cycle per second = 1 Hertz)

Thus, we can conclude that the frequency of the wave is 5.5 X 10^{-2} hertz.

Hopes this helps, love <3

Determine the vector sum of the displacements Δd1 = 2.4 m [32° S of W]; Δd2 = 1.6 m [S]; and Δd3 = 4.9 m [27° S of E].
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

3.44 metres

Explanation:

To determine the vector sum of the displacements Δd1 = 2.4 m [32° S of W]; Δd2 = 1.6 m [S]; and Δd3 = 4.9 m [27° S of E], resolve the given parameters into x - component and y - component.

Resolving into x - component

- 2.4cos32 + 4.9cos27 = 2.3306

Resolving into y - component

- 2.4sin32 - 4.9sin27 - 1.6 = - 2.553

The vector sum of the displacement will be

Sqrt( 2.3^2 + 2.6^2) =

Sqrt ( 11.81)

3.44 m

Therefore, the vector sum of the displacements is 3.44 metres

An airplane propeller is rotating at 2000 rev/min.
Fudgin [204]

A 1 complete revolution corresponds to an angular displacement of 2π rad, or 360º. (So there are 180º for every π rad.) Also, there are 60 seconds to 1 minute. So, the angular velocity in rad/s is

(2000 rev/min) * (2π rad/rev) * (1/60 min/s) = 200π/3 rad/s

or approximately 209.44 rad/s.

B First convert the angular velocity to degrees per second (º/s):

(200π/3 rad/s) * (180/π º/rad) = 12,000 º/s

We want to find the time <em>t</em> it would take for the propeller to turn 36º:

36º = (12,000 º/s) <em>t</em>

==>  <em>t</em> = 36º / (12,000 º/s) = 3/1000 s

or approximately 0.003 s.
