Answer:
(c) 10.29 J
(d) 113.19 J
(e) 113.19 J
(f) 10061 N/m
Explanation:
15 cm = 0.15 m
Let g = 9.8 m/s2
(c) The work done by gravitational force is the product of gravity force and the distance compressed
(d) By using law of energy conservation with potential energy reference being 0 at the maximum compression point. As the ball falls and come to a stop at the compression point, its potential energy is transferred to elastic energy, which is the work that the mattress does on the ball:
where h = 1.5 + 0.15 = 1.65 m is the vertical distance that it falls.
(e) Before the compression, the potential energy of the mattress is 0. After the compression, the potential energy is 113.19J. So it has increased by 113.19J due to the potential energy transferred from the falling ball.
(f) 
Answer:
21.7 seconds.
Explanation:
Woman's velocity relative to train (23 m/s - 22.4 m/s) = 0.6 m/s
Distance woman wants to travel = 13m
To find how long she will take to move 13m relative to the train, take the distance she wants to travel divided by her velocity relative to the train.
(13m)/(0.6 m/s) = 21.6667 seconds or 21.7 seconds.
Therefore, it will take the woman 21.7 seconds to move 13m.
Answer:
a series of decays producing sequentially more stable nuclei
Explanation:
A nuclear decay chain represents a series of decays producing sequentially more stable nuclei.
- For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures the stability of the nucleus.
- Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio (i.e either too many neutrons or too many protons) will be unstable and split into one or more other nuclei with the attendant emission of small particles of matter.
- The decay process is a continuous chain reaction steps.
- Until stability of the nucleus is attain, it continues.
