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.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

<em> B.0</em>

Explanation:

Change in momentum: This is defined as the product of mass and change in velocity of a body. or it can be defined as the product of force and time of a body. The fundamental unit of change in momentum is kg.m/s

Change in momentum = M(V-U)......................... Equation 1

where M = mass of the ball, V = final velocity of the ball, U = initial velocity of the ball.

Let: M = m kg and V = U = v m/s

Substituting these values into equation 1

Change in momentum = m(v-v)

Change in momentum = m(0)

Change in momentum = 0 kg.m/s

<em>Therefore the momentum of the ball has not changed.</em>

<em>The right option is B.0</em>

Sayid made a chart listing data of two colliding objects. A 5-column table titled Collision: Two Objects Stick Together with 2 r
Alborosie

Answer:

6 m/s is the missing final velocity

Explanation:

From the data table we extract that there were two objects (X and Y) that underwent an inelastic collision, moving together after the collision as a new object with mass equal the addition of the two original masses, and a new velocity which is the unknown in the problem).

Object X had a mass of 300 kg, while object Y had a mass of 100 kg.

Object's X initial velocity was positive (let's imagine it on a horizontal axis pointing to the right) of 10 m/s. Object Y had a negative velocity (imagine it as pointing to the left on the horizontal axis) of -6 m/s.

We can solve for the unknown, using conservation of momentum in the collision: Initial total momentum = Final total momentum (where momentum is defined as the product of the mass of the object times its velocity.

In numbers, and calling P_{xi} the initial momentum of object X and P_{yi} the initial momentum of object Y, we can derive the total initial momentum of the system: P_{total}_i=P_{xi}+P_{yi}= 300*10 \frac{kg*m}{s} -100*6\frac{kg*m}{s} =\\=(3000-600 )\frac{kg*m}{s} =2400 \frac{kg*m}{s}

Since in the collision there is conservation of the total momentum, this initial quantity should equal the quantity for the final mometum of the stack together system (that has a total mass of 400 kg):

Final momentum of the system: M * v_f=400kg * v_f

We then set the equality of the momenta (total initial equals final) and proceed to solve the equation for the unknown(final velocity of the system):

2400 \frac{kg*m}{s} =400kg*v_f\\\frac{2400}{400} \frac{m}{s} =v_f\\v_f=6 \frac{m}{s}

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

the waves in the sea,  leaves of the trees, cables in the bridges, pendulum clock

Explanation:

In nature there are many examples of simple harmonic motion, for example.

* The movement of the waves in the sea is an oscillation movement up and down

* The movement of the leaves of the trees when a wind blows and then stops, but the leaf and branches are oscillating

* The movement of the cables in the bridges, especially in the suspension bridges

* The movement of a pendulum clock
