If Cadmium has an atomic number of 48 and an atomic mass of 112 and it undergoes alpha decay, what is the new element produced?

1 answer:

7 0

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).

A 0.73-m aluminum bar is held with its length parallel to the east-west direction and dropped from a bridge. Just before the bar

Tasya [4]

Answer:

A) B = 5.4 10⁻⁵ T, B) the positive side of the bar is to the West

Explanation:

A) For this exercise we must use the expression of Faraday's law for a moving body

fem = $- \frac{d \phi }{dt}$

fem = $- \frac{d (B l y}{dt}= - B l v$ - d (B l y) / dt = - B lv

B = $- \frac{fem}{l \ v}$

we calculate

B = - 7.9 10⁻⁴ /(0.73 20)

B = 5.4 10⁻⁵ T

B) to determine which side of the bar is positive, we must use the right hand rule

the thumb points in the direction of the rod movement to the south, the magnetic field points in the horizontal direction and the rod is in the east-west direction.

Therefore the force points in the direction perpendicular to the velocity and the magnetic field is in the east direction; therefore the positive side of the bar is to the West

How far will an object move in 6 s if its average

Dafna11 [192]

Given:-

Time taken by the particle (t) = 6 s
Average speed (v) = 40 m/s

To Find: Distance (s) travelled by the particle.

We know,

s = vt

where,

s = Distance travelled,
v = Speed &
t = Time taken.

Putting the values,

s = (40 m/s)(6 s)

→ s = 240 m ...(Ans.)

One end of a string is fixed. An object attached to the other end moves on a horizontal plane with uniform circular motion of ra

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.

Explanation:

The radial acceleration ( $a_{r}$ ), measured in meters per square second, experimented by the moving end of the string is determined by the following kinematic formula:

$a_{r} = 4\pi^{2}\cdot f^{2}\cdot R$ (1)

Where:

$f$ - Frequency, measured in hertz.

$R$ - Radius of rotation, measured in meters.

From Second Newton's Law, the centripetal acceleration is due to the existence of tension ( $T$ ), measured in newtons, through the string, then we derive the following model:

$\Sigma F = T = m\cdot a_{r}$ (2)

Where $m$ is the mass of the object, measured in kilograms.

By applying (1) in (2), we have the following formula:

$T = 4\pi^{2}\cdot m\cdot f^{2}\cdot R$ (3)

From where we conclude that tension is directly proportional to the radius and the square of frequency. Then, if radius and frequency are doubled, then the ratio between tensions is:

$\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \left(\frac{f_{2}}{f_{1}} \right)^{2}\cdot \left(\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}} \right)$ (4)

$\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = 4\cdot 2$

$\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = 8$

If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.
