Answer:

Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting one or more particles.

the giving off of rays of energy or particles by the breaking apart of atoms of certain elements (as uranium) 2 : the rays or particles that are given off when atoms break apart.

The three most common types of radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.

A box of books has _______inertia than a box of cotton balls.
White raven [17]

Talking about a quantity of inertia is exactly the same as talking about a quantity of mass.  So, if the boxes are anywhere near the same size, then the box of books has <u><em>more</em></u> inertia than the box of cotton balls, because books have more mass than an identical volume of cotton.

If Star A and Star B have the same absolute magnitude, but Star A is brighter, what does that tell us?
Hatshy [7]
We can conclude that star A is closer to us than star B.

In fact, the absolute magnitude gives a measure of the brightness of the star, if all the stars are placed at the same distance from Earth. So, it's a measure of the absolute luminosity of the star, indipendently from its distance from us: since the two stars have same absolute magnitude, it means that if they were at same distance from Earth, they would appear with same luminosity. Instead, we see star A brighter than star B, and the only explanation is that star A is closer to Earth than star B (the closer the star A, the brigther it is)

A sound wave has a speed of 330m/s and a wavelength of 0.372 m. what is the frequency of the wave?
Alja [10]

Answer:

887.1Hz

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of sound wave  = 330m/s

Wavelength  = 0.372m

Unknown:

Frequency  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

             Speed  = Frequency x wavelength

            330  = Frequency x 0.372

   Frequency  = 887.1Hz
