What is radioactivity????

1 answer:

5 0

Radioactivity is a nuclear phenomenon. It is the process of spontaneous emission of α (alpha particles) or β (beta particles) and γ (gamma particles ) radiations from the nucleus of atoms during their decay.

Uranium and radium are the two radioactive substances.

Arbeitsauftrag 2

kramer

Explanation:

<em>The height of the pendulum is measured from the lowest point it reaches (point 3). </em>

At 1, the kinetic energy of the pendulum is zero (because it is not moving), and it has maximum potential energy.

At 2, the pendulum has both kinetic and potential energy, and how much of each it has depends on its height—smaller the height greater the kinetic energy and lower the potential energy.

At 3, the height is zero; therefore, the pendulum has no potential energy, and has maximum kinetic energy.

At 4, the pendulum again gains potential energy as it climbs back up, Again how much of each forms of energy it has depends on its height.

At 5, the maximum height is reached again; therefore, the pendulum has maximum potential energy and no kinetic energy.

Hope this helps :)

lanet R47A is a spherical planet where the gravitational acceleration on the surface is 3.45 m/s2. A satellite orbitsPlanet R47A

qaws [65]

$2.6×10^6\:\text{m}$

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity g is defined as

$g = G\dfrac{M}{R^2}$

and solving for R, we find that

$R = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{g}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)$

We need the mass M of the planet first and we can do that by noting that the centripetal acceleration $F_c$ experienced by the satellite is equal to the gravitational force $F_G$ or

$F_c = F_G \Rightarrow m\dfrac{v^2}{r} = G\dfrac{mM}{r^2}\:\:\:\:\:(2)$

The orbital velocity <em>v</em> is the velocity of the satellite around the planet defined as

$v = \dfrac{2\pi r}{T}$

where <em>r</em><em> </em>is the radius of the satellite's orbit in meters and <em>T</em> is the period or the time it takes for the satellite to circle the planet in seconds. We can then rewrite Eqn(2) as

$\dfrac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2} = G\dfrac{M}{r^2}$

Solving for <em>M</em>, we get

$M = \dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

Putting this expression back into Eqn(1), we get

$R = \sqrt{\dfrac{G}{g}\left(\dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}\right)}$

$\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{g}}$

$\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{(1.44×10^4\:\text{s})}\sqrt{\dfrac{(5×10^6\:\text{m})^3}{(3.45\:\text{m/s}^2)}}$

$\:\:\:\:= 2.6×10^6\:\text{m}$

A large lightning bolt consists of a 18.2~\text{kA}18.2 kA current that moved 30.0~\text{C}30.0 C of charge. Assuming a constant

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

$1.65\times {-3} \text { s}$

Explanation:

Current is the rate of flow of charge.

$I=\dfrac{Q}{t}$

$t = \dfrac{Q}{I}$

$t = \dfrac{30.0}{18.2\times10^3} =1.65\times {0-3} = 1.65\times {-3} \text { s}$

The maximum number of orbits in an atom is _____

svp [43]

Correct answer is:

<h2>The maximum number of orbits in an atom is <u>Seven.</u></h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

Every energy level has a limited one orbital including two electrons. The orbits are settled in the sub-levels and there can be further than 1 sub-level as the number of energy levels rises. On energy level 1, there is 1 sub-level and 1 orbital. Energy level 2 can possess 2 sub-levels and 2 orbitals. These remain to develop as you progress from the nucleus of the atom, closing up with an infinite potential number of levels and orbits.
