Describe the importance of the neutron in a atomic nuclei

Neutrons are electrically neutral, but contribute to the mass of a nucleus to nearly the same extent as the protons. Neutrons can explain the phenomenon of isotopes (same atomic number with different atomic mass). The main role of neutrons is to reduce electrostatic repulsion inside the nucleus.

Neutrons are required for the stability of nuclei, with the exception of the single-proton hydrogen nucleus. Neutrons are produced copiously in nuclear fission and fusion. They are a primary contributor to the nucleosynthesis of chemical elements within stars through fission, fusion, and neutron capture processes.

Hope it helps!

In a double‑slit interference experiment, the wavelength is lambda=487 nm , the slit separation is d=0.200 mm , and the screen i

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Δx = 4.68 x 10⁻³ m = 4.68 mm

Explanation:

The distance between the consecutive maxima, in Young's Double Slit Experiment is given bu the following formula:

Δx = λD/d

So, the distance between the eighth order maximum and the fourth order maximum on the screen will be given as:

Δx = 4λD/d

where,

Δx = distance between eighth order maximum and fourth order maximum=?

λ = wavelength = 487 nm = 4.87 x 10⁻⁷ m

d = slit separation = 0.2 mm = 2 x 10⁻⁴ m

D = Distance between slits and screen = 48 cm = 0.48 m

Therefore,

Δx = (4)(4.87 x 10⁻⁷ m)(0.48 m)/(2 x 10⁻⁴ m)

An object moving in circular motion has a mass of 15 kg and a centripetal acceleration of 10 m/s2. What is the centripetal force

4) A

7) Incomplete information(picture missing)

8) A

9) C

10) C

Explanation:

1) m = 15kg, a = $10ms^{-2}$ , F = ma = 15*10 = 150N

2) m = 3kg, v = $4ms^{-1}$ , r = 4m, F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

$\frac{3*4^{2} }{4}$ = 12N

3) a = $10ms^{-2}$ , r = 10m, v=?

F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$ and F = ma

equating the two equations and cancelling a, we have:

$\frac{v^{2} }{r}$ = a

making v the subject of formula, we have:

v = $\sqrt{ar}$

= $\sqrt{100}$

= 10 $ms^{-1}$

4) r = 10m, v = $5ms^{-1}$ , a = ?

F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

F = ma

equating the above equations and making a subject of formula, we get:

a = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

a = 25/10 = 2.5 $ms^{-2}$

5) I can't find the picture associated with this question

6) I can't find the picture associated with this question

7) I can't find the picture associated with this question

8) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and r is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively, the formula simplifies to:

F = $v^{2}$

Now, if v is tripled

F = $(3v)^{2}$

F = 9 $v^{2}$

We can see that the force will be 9X greater than it was.

9) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and r is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively, the formula simplifies to:

F = $v^{2}$

Now, if v is doubled

F = $(2v)^{2}$

F = 4 $v^{2}$

We can see that the force will be 4X greater than it was.

10) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and v is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively

F = 1/r

if r is doubled,

F = 1/2 * 1/r

We can see that the force is 1/2 as big as it was
