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).

What is the instantaneous speed at 5 seconds? (remember s=d/t)
TEA [102]
5 seconds is a poor time to ask about, because the speed abruptly changes at exactly 5 seconds.

Up until that time, the speed has been 1 m/s. And then, at exactly 5 seconds, it becomes zero.
_________

It's also a poor question because speed is calculated from the distance covered, but the graph shows displacement, not distance. You can't really tell the distance covered from a displacement graph. For example, if an object happens to be moving in a circle around the place where it started, then the total distance covered keeps increasing, but its displacement is constant.

A block with m = 300 grams oscillates at the end of a linear spring with k = 6.5 N/m. (assume this is a top-down view and the bl
inna [77]

Answer:

a) T=1.35s

b) amplitude = 0.0923m

Explanation:

m=300 gr

k=6.5 N/m

first we need to get the angular frequency of the motion

so we have that

ω = √(k/m)

in this case motion is a simple harmonic so the period is defined by:

T= 2π / ω

T= 2π / √(k/m)

replacing the variables...

T= 2π / √(6.5/0.3)

T=1.35s   (period of the block's motion)

and...

α max = | ω²r max |

2 = (2π/1.35)² * r max

r max= 0.0923m
