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 21 N block rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surface and the block ar
Georgia [21]

Answer:

a)15 N

b)12.6 N

Explanation:

Given that

Weight of block (wt)= 21 N

μs = 0.80 and μk = 0.60

We know that

Maximum value of static friction given as

Frs = μs m g = μs .wt

by putting the values

Frs= 0.8 x 21 = 16.8 N

Value of kinetic friction

Frk= μk m g = μk .wt

By putting the values

Frk= 0.6 x 21 = 12.6 N

a)

When T = 15 N

Static friction Frs= 16.8 N

Here the value of static friction is more than tension T .It means that block will not move and the value of friction force will be equal to the tension force.

Friction force = 15 N

b)

When T= 35 N

Here value of tension force is more than maximum value of static friction that is why block will move .We know that when body is in motion then kinetic friction will act on the body.so the value of friction force in this case will be 12.6 N

Friction force = 12.6 N

If we keep on applying force on a material object, can it gain speed of light?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

As an object moves faster, its mass increases. ... Because masses approach infinity with increasing speed, it is impossible to accelerate a material object to (or past) the speed of light. To do so would require an infinite force.

A 1-hectare field contains 2500 bean plants having a total leaf surface area of 557 m2. ambient temperature is 21°c, winds are
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The field losses a total of 55.814 litres of water in an hour.

Explanation:

As the complete question is not given here, the average rate of water loss is not given here which is found in normal conditions as 1.67 mL/m2.

Now the average rate of water loss per minute is 1.67 mL/m2

So the average rate of water loss per minute for 557 m2 is 1.67*557=930.19 mL

So 930.19 mL of water is lost from the field in 1 minute, for the calculation of water lost in an hour, the value is given as  60*930.19 =55811.4 mL or 55.814 litres.
