b. the only possible type of decay that an isotope can undergo d. the process of nuclei becoming
increasingly energetic as they release radiation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a series of  decays producing sequentially more stable nuclei

Explanation:

A nuclear decay chain represents a series of decays producing sequentially more stable nuclei.

For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures the stability of the nucleus. Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio (i.e either too many neutrons or too many protons) will be unstable and split into one or more other nuclei with the attendant emission of small particles of matter. The decay process is a continuous chain reaction steps. Until stability of the nucleus is attain, it continues.

A thin film of oil with a thickness of 90 nm rests on top of a pool of water. When white light incident on the film is reflected, what color (wavelength of the first order) is seen? The refractive index of the oil is noil =1.45 and of water is nwater=1.33

Answers

Answer:

m=0,  λ₀  = 522 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

In this case we can see that the first boy M The reflected light suffers an interference phenomenon, let's analyze what happens on each surface

* When light passes from a medium with a lower refractive index to a medium with a higher refractive index, it undergoes a phase change of pi rad (180º).

  This occurs when passing from air to oil, but not at the oil-water interface.

* within the material the wavelength changes by the refractive index

        λₙ = λ₀ / n

therefore introducing this into the constructive interference equation and assuming almost perpendicular incidence remains

         2 t = (m + ½) λₙ

         2t = (m + ½) λ₀ / n

        λ₀ = 2t n / (m + ½)

light in the first order (m = 1)

       λ₀  = 2 90 10⁻⁹ 1.45 / (1+ ½)

       λ₀  = 174 10⁻⁹ m

the light for zero order (m = 0)

         λ₀ = 2 90 10⁻⁹ 1.45 / (0+ ½)

         λ₀  = 522 10⁻⁹ m

What is galaxy?

Galaxies are vast systems of gravity-bound gas, dust, dark matter, and anything from a million to a trillion stars. Supermassive black holes are expected to be present at the centers of almost all big galaxies. The sun is merely one of 100 to 400 billion rotating stars in our own galaxy, the Milky Way.

There are more galaxies visible as we gaze farther into space. According to a 2016 study, there are two trillion, or two million million, galaxies in the observable universe. While some of those far-off systems resemble our own Milky Way galaxy, others are very dissimilar,

There are three general types of galaxies elliptical, spiral, and irregular.

So the best shape is second option elliptical with boundary.

Branden ran at 6 m/s for a time of 300s. How much distance did he cover during his run?

Answers

Answer:

The covered distance was 1800 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the following formula of kinematics. It is important to make it clear that Branden's speed never changes during that time, or therefore the speed is constant.

where:

x = distance [m]

f = 3.33 Hz

f = 1/T

Answers

Answer:

Resultant velocity = 3.11 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The velocity of a boat is 2.778 m/s due North

The velocuity of river is 1.389 m/s due east.

We need to find the resultant velocity. The angle between these two velocities is 90 degrees. The resultant is given by :

[tex]v=\sqrt{v_b^2+v_r^2} \\\\v=\sqrt{2.778 ^2+1.389 ^2} \\\\v=3.11\ m/s[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

9) a = 25 [m/s^2], t = 4 [s]

10) a = 0.0875 [m/s^2], t = 34.3 [s]

11) t = 32 [s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. In this way we have:

9)

a)

[tex]v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2}-(2*a*x)\\[/tex]

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 100 [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

x = distance = 200 [m]

Note: the final speed is zero, as the car stops completely when it stops. The negative sign of the equation means that the car loses speed or slows down as it stops.

0 = (100)^2 - (2*a*200)

a = 25 [m/s^2]

b)

Now using the following equation:

[tex]v_{f} =v_{i} - (a*t)[/tex]

0 = 100 - (25*t)

t = 4 [s]

10)

a)

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. In this way we have:

[tex]v_{f} ^{2} = v_{i} ^{2} + 2*a*(x-x_{o})[/tex]

Note:  The positive sign of the equation means that the car increases his speed.

5^2 = 2^2 + 2*a*(125 - 5)

25 - 4 = 2*a* (120)

a = 0.0875 [m/s^2]

b)

Now using the following equation:

[tex]v_{f}= v_{i}+a*t\\[/tex]

5 = 2 + 0.0875*t

3 = 0.0875*t

t = 34.3 [s]

11)

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. In this way we have:

[tex]v_{f} ^{2} = v_{i} ^{2} + 2*a*(x-x_{o})[/tex]

10^2 = 2^2 + 2*a*(200 - 10)

100 - 4 = 2*a* (190)

a = 0.25 [m/s^2]

Now using the following equation:

[tex]v_{f}= v_{i}+a*t\\[/tex]

10 = 2 + 0.25*t

8 = 0.25*t

t = 32 [s]

When you sit in a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair. What
is the reaction force?
A. The floor pushes up on the chair.
B. The chair pushes down on the floor.
C. Earth's gravity pulls up on the chain
D. The chair pushes up on your body.

Answers

Answer:

ITS D !!!

Explanation:

IN ME WE TRUST

When you sit on the chair, your body will exert a downward force and in reaction, the chair pushes up on your body. Hence, option D is correct.

What is a Reaction Force?

A building experiences a reaction force when it rests against another object. Calculating the reaction forces at the supports as a result of the forces operating on the beam is a necessary step in the analysis of a beam structure. The reaction forces can be calculated using a free body diagram of the entire beam.

Corrosion can be caused by reaction forces. For instance, due to the system's increased stiffness, reaction forces increase when bearing clearances are reduced from 350 mm to 150 mm.

According to the question, when the body will exert a downward force that is mg due to gravity, the chair will make a normal reaction force which will be equal to the force applied by the body on the chair.
