Calcium with mass number 112 and atomic number 48 will undergo an alpha decay to produce palladium, atomic number: 46, atomic mass: 108.

<h3>RADIOACTIVITY:</h3>

Radioactivity is the spontaneous disintegration of the atoms of certain elements called radioactive elements. The atoms of radioactive elements decay into certain particles namely: alpha, beta and gamma particles.

Alpha particle has a mass number of 4 and atomic number of 2, hence, is denoted by the following symbol: α(⁴,²).

This means that calcium with mass number and atomic number of 112 and 48 respectively will change into palladium with (112 - 4 = 108) and (48 - 2 = 46).

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The angular magnification is M = 2.808

Explanation:

From the question we are told

           The focal length is  f = 8.9cm

          The near point is n_p = 25.0cm

The angular magnification is mathematically represented as

                          M = \frac{n_p}{f}

Substituting values

                        M = \frac{25}{8.9}

                           = 2.808

An Olympic runner competing in a long-distance event finishes with a time of 2 hours , 15 minutes , and 23 seconds . The event h
Talja [164]

Answer:

The average speed of the runner is 18.2 km/h.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average speed is calculated as the traveled distance over time:

speed = traveled distance / elapsed time to cover that distance

We have to find the speed in km/h, so let´s start converting the time into hours:

23 s · (1 min/60 s) = 0.38 min      

15.38 min · (1 h / 60 min) = 0.26 h

Total time: 0.26 h + 2 h = 2.26 h

The distance traveled in km is:

25.5 mi · (1.61 km/ 1 mi) = 41.1 km

Then, the average speed will be:

speed = 41.1 km / 2.26 h = 18.2 km/h

The average speed of the runner is 18.2 km/h.

What is the direction of the magnetic field b⃗ a at point a?
pogonyaev

Answer: Use the Right -hand Rule to find the direction of the magnetic field.

Explanation: A magnetic force only occur, in a magnetic field, when a particle is moving perpendicularly relative to the magnetic field. So, all three quantities are perpendicular among themselves.

The Right-Hand Rule apply for the positive charges moving in conventional current. If the moving charge is negative, the velocity must be reversed.

Right-Hand Rule determines the direction of any or all of the three and it is as follows: With you right hand, point your index finger in the direction of the velocity, your middle finger in the direction of the magnetic field and your thumb will be pointing in the direction of the magnetic force.

Another way of using the rule is when there is a current carrying wire:

The fingers of your right hand will curl into a half circle around the wire, they will point in the direction of the field. The thumb will point in the direction of the conventional current.
