PLEASE HELP !!!

Physics
1 answer:
emmainna [20.7K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer and Explanation:

The answer is <u>D) Alpha and Gamma</u>

Gamma radiation does not cause transmutations.

A <u>transmutation</u> is the <u>conversion of an atom of one element to an atom of another. This generally occurs through nuclear reacting.</u>

There are three main types of radiation: alpha, beta, and gamma. Both beta and alpha decay cause changes to the mass and atomic numbers. This results in a transmutation. Gamma radiation, however, does not.

Gamma radiation is the result of a gamma ray. In essence, the nucleus emits a high-energy proton. This is very penetrating and can only be stopped by aluminum, lead, soil, water, and concrete. This type of radiation does not change the element and, therefore, does not cause a transmutation.

A photovoltaic panel of dimension 2 m × 4 m is installed on the roof of a home. The panel is irradiated with a solar flux of GS
Flura [38]

Answer:

(a) the electrical power generated for still summer day is 1013.032 W

(b)the electrical power generated for a breezy winter day is 1270.763 W

Explanation:

Given;

Area of panel = 2 m × 4 m, = 8m²

solar flux  GS = 700 W/m²

absorptivity of the panel, αS = 0.83

efficiency of conversion, η = P/αSGSA = 0.553 − 0.001 K⁻¹ Tp

panel emissivity , ε = 0.90

Apply energy balance equation to determine he electrical power generated;  

transferred energy + generated energy = 0

(radiation + convection) +  generated energy = 0

[\alpha_sG_s-\epsilon \alpha(T_p^4-T_s^4)]-h(T_p-T_\infty) - \eta \alpha_s G_s = 0

[\alpha_sG_s-\epsilon \alpha(T_p^4-T_s^4)]-h(T_p-T_\infty) - (0.553-0.001T_p)\alpha_s G_s

(a) the electrical power generated for still summer day

T_s = T_{\infty} = 35 ^oC = 308 \ k

[0.83*700-0.9*5.67*10^{-8}(T_p_1^4-308^4)]-10(T_p_1-308) - (0.553-0.001T_p_1)0.83*700 = 0\\\\3798.94-5.103*10^{-8}T_p_1^4 - 9.419T_p_1 = 0\\\\Apply \  \ iteration \ method \ to \ solve \ for \ T_p_1\\\\T_p_1 = 335.05 \ k

P = \eta \alpha_s G_s A = (0.553-0.001 T_p_1)\alpha_s G_s A \\\\P = (0.553-0.001 *335.05)0.83*700*8 \\\\P = 1013.032 \ W

(b)the electrical power generated for a breezy winter day

T_s = T_{\infty} = -15 ^oC = 258 \ k

[0.83*700-0.9*5.67*10^{-8}(T_p_2^4-258^4)]-10(T_p_2-258) - (0.553-0.001T_p_2)0.83*700 = 0\\\\8225.81-5.103*10^{-8}T_p_2^4 - 29.419T_p_2 = 0\\\\Apply \  \ iteration \ method \ to \ solve \ for \ T_p_2\\\\T_p_2 = 279.6 \ k

P = \eta \alpha_s G_s A = (0.553-0.001 T_p_2)\alpha_s G_s A \\\\P = (0.553-0.001 *279.6)0.83*700*8 \\\\P = 1270.763 \ W

Yes that's a true statement. That's why grandmother put a hot water bottle to warm up her bed, and not a hot bar of steel or lead.

Which atomic number is the threshold value below which fusion may occur?
Luda [366]

Answer:

The atomic number 26(iron) is the threshold value below which the fusion might occur.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles.

Energy released in a fusion reaction is because of a key feature of nuclear matter called the binding energy which is a measure of the efficiency with which its constituent nucleons are bound together.

As we go up in atomic number, the energy released per nuclei goes down until it hits a minimum which is for atomic number 26 (iron) and fusion is not possible.
