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).

So, basically, it might have different quantities, such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO), which are both made up of Carbon and Oxygen, but Carbon Monoxide has less oxygen. And they both have different properties, like CO is poisonous.

A 2-kg cart, traveling on a horizontal air track with a speed of 3m/s, collides with a stationary 4-kg cart. The carts stick tog
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first cart, m₁ = 2 kg

initial speed of the first car, u₁ = 3 m/s

mass of the second cart, m₂ = 4 kg

initial speed of the second cart, u₂ = 0

Let the final speed of both carts = v, since they stick together after collision.

Apply the principle of conservation of momentum to determine v

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

2 x 3 + 0 = v(2 + 4)

6 = 6v

v = 1 m/s

Impulse is given by;

I = ft = mΔv = m(

The impulse exerted by the first cart on the second cart is given;

I = 2 (3 -1 )

I = 4 N.s

The impulse exerted by the second cart on the first cart is given;

I = 4(0-1)

I = - 4 N.s (equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the impulse exerted by the first).

Therefore, the impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.

Has anyone done the science project: modeling waves/properties of light?
igor_vitrenko [27]
<h2>MARK BRAINLIEST</h2>

For this assignment, you will develop several models that show how light waves and mechanical waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials. For each model, you will write a brief description of the interaction between the wave and the material. You will also compose two <u><em>typewritten</em></u> paragraphs. The first will compare and contrast light waves interacting with different materials. The second will explain why materials with certain properties are well suited for particular functions.

<h2><u>Background Information</u></h2>

A wave is any disturbance that carries energy from one place to another. There are two different types of waves: mechanical and electromagnetic. A mechanical wave carries energy through matter. Energy is transferred through vibrating particles of matter. Examples of mechanical waves include ocean waves, sound waves, and seismic waves. Like a mechanical wave, an electromagnetic wave can also carry energy through matter. However, unlike a mechanical wave, an electromagnetic wave does not need particles of matter to carry energy. Examples of electromagnetic waves include microwaves, visible light, X-rays, and radiation from the Sun.
