The transmutation of a radioactive uranium isotope, 234/92U , into a radon isotope, 222/86Rn , involves a series of three nuclear reactions. At the end of the first reaction, a thorium isotope,230/90Th , is formed and at the end of the second reaction, a radium isotope, 226/88Ra , is formed. In both the reactions, an alpha particle is emitted. Write the balanced equations for the three successive nuclear reactions.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

234/92U--------> 230/90Th + 4/2He

230/90Th----->226/88Ra + 4/2He

There are various modes of radioactive decay. One of them is alpha decay.

Alpha decay involves the loss of an alpha particle from a nucleus. When this occurs, the mass number of the daughter nucleus is four units less than that of the parent while the atomic number of the daughter nucleus is two units less than that of its parent as shown in the equations above.

An alpha particle is akin to a helium nucleus in terms of mass and charge

10.Un móvil recorre 26 m en el tercer segundo de su movimiento. Determinar la velocidad inicial del móvil, si su aceleración es de 8 m/s. AYUDA POR FAVOR

Answers

Answer:  La velocidad inicial es 6m/s

Explanation:

Primero escribamos las ecuaciones de movimiento:

Sabemos que la aceleración es 8m/s^2.

a(t) = 8m/s^2.

Para obtener la velocidad, tenemos que integrar sobre el tiempo:

v(t) = (8m/s^2)*t + v0

donde v0 es la velocidad inicial.

Para la posición volvemos a integrar sobre el tiempo, y tenemos:

p(t) = (1/2)*(8m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + p0 = (4m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + p0  

Donde p0 es la posición inicial.

Nosotros sabemos que en el tercer segundo, el móvil recorre 26m

Esto significa que:

p(3s) - p(2s) = 26m = (4m/s^2)(3s^2 - 2s^2) + v0(3s - 2s) + p0 - p0

26m = (4m/s^2)*5s^2 + v0*1s

De aquí podemos despejar el valor de v0:

26m  = 20m + v0*1s

6m = v0*1s

v0 = 6m/s

Using examples, explain why the first and second Newton laws of motion are significant for living organisms.

Answers

Answer:

1) Newton's first law of motion states an object will remain at rest or in uniform will be in uniform motion in a straight line unless a force acts on it

2) Newton's second law states the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the applied force acting on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Explanation:

1) With Newton's first law, we are able arrange things within a space and schedule meetings in time knowing that they will remain in place unless an external force changes their positions

2) An example of Newton's second law of motion is that small objects such as a ball are easily accelerated and can be given appreciable acceleration for flight by single, one time contact (such as kicking the ball) while larger objects such as a rock require sustained force application to change their location.

Find the amount of force required to move an object of 1200 kg at a velocity of 54 km/hr?​​

Answers

Answer:

0 Newtons

Explanation:

The velocity of the object does not change, it is a constant 54 km/hr. When velocity does not change, acceleration is zero. Using the formula Force = mass x acceleration, we find:

mass = 1200 kg

acceleration = 0

F  = (1200)(0) = 0

A balloon is ascending at the rate of 4.9 m/s. A packet is dropped from from the balloon when situated at a height of 100m.
How long does it take the packet to reach the ground ?
What is it's final velocity ?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Initially the packet was ascending up with the balloon.

Taking upward as positive direction;

initial velocity, u = 4.9 m/s

final velocity = v m/s

initial height, h₁ = 100 m  

final height, h₂ = 0

a = -9.8 m/s²

time taken = t seconds

Considering the second equation of motion.

S = ut + 1/2at^2

s = ut + 0.5at²

(h₂-h₁) = ut + 0.5at²

0- 100 = 4.9t + 0.5×(-9.8)×t²

-100 = 4.9t - 4.9t²

4.9t² -4.9t -  100 =0

t² -t - 20.41 = 0

Using : b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)....  1

Where a =1, b = -1 c =-20.408

Substituting the values into equation 1

Solving it, we get  t = 5.045s

v = u + at = 4.9 -9.8×5.045 = 4.9 - 49.44 = -44.54 m/s

The final velocity is -44.54 m/s, and it took  5.045s to reach the ground.

Why does it take a longer time for a kilogram of water than a kilogram of copper to reach the same temperature? ​

Answers

Answer:

Since water has a higher specific heat than copper.

Explanation:

Dimensionally speaking, the specific heat of a material ([tex]c[/tex]) is represented by:

[tex][c] = \frac{[Energy]}{[Mass]\cdot [Temperature]}[/tex]

The specific heats of water and copper are [tex]4186\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}[/tex] and [tex]390\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}[/tex], respectively. Let suppose that temperature change and masses of water and copper are the same. Then, a kilogram of water takes a longer time than a kilogram of copper since the first has a higher specific heat.

This is the question

Answers

Explanation:

a) The displacement is the area under the curve.

Δx = ½ (10 s) (20 m/s) + (20 s) (20 m/s) + ½ (10 s) (20 m/s)

Δx = 600 m

b) The car is accelerating when the velocity is changing.  This happens between t = 0 and t = 10, and between t = 30 and t = 40.

c) Average speed = displacement / time

v_avg = 600 m / 40 s

If the boy on the bicycle in the preceding problem accelerates from rest to a speed of 10.0 m/s in 10.0 s, the angular acceleration of the tires is:_______

Answers

Answer:

The angular acceleration is 3.33 rad/s²

Explanation:

Here is the preceding problem as well as the given problem:

A boy rides his bicycle 2.00 km. The wheels have radius 30.0 cm. What is the total angle the tires rotate through during his trip?

21.

If the boy on the bicycle in the preceding problem accelerates from rest to a speed of 10.0 m/s in 10.0 s, what is the angular acceleration of the tires?

Explanation:

To determine the angular acceleration, we will first find the linear acceleration

From one of the equations of kinematics for linear motion

v = u + at

Where v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

a is the linear acceleration

and t is time

From the question,  the boy starts from rest, hence,

u = 0.0 m/s

v = 10.0 m/s

t = 10.0 s

a = ??

From, v = u + at

a = [tex]\frac{ v - u}{t}[/tex]

a = [tex]\frac{10 - 0}{10}[/tex]

a = 1 m/s²

Now, for the angular acceleration, [tex]\alpha[/tex]

The relationship between linear acceleration, a and angular acceleration, [tex]\alpha[/tex] is

a = [tex]\alpha[/tex]r

where r is radius

From the previous question, r = 30.0cm = 0.3m

From the equation, a = [tex]\alpha[/tex]r

[tex]\alpha[/tex] = a / r

[tex]\alpha[/tex] = 1 / 0.3

[tex]\alpha[/tex] = 3.33 rad/s²

An observer measures a 100 Hz Doppler shift as an ambulance goes by. At rest, the frequency of the ambulance's siren is 2,000 Hz. What is the speed of the ambulance?

Answers

Answer:

8.6 m/s

Explanation:

The observer is stationary

The source is moving

Let v₀ be the speed of sound in the air

Let v be the speed of the ambulance

As the siren approaches

f₁ = 2000(v₀ / (v₀ - v))

As the siren departs

f₁' = 2000(v₀ / (v₀ + v))

                                                                         f₁ - f₁' = 100  

                     2000(v₀ / (v₀ - v)) - 2000(v₀ / (v₀ + v)) = 100

                                           v₀ / (v₀ - v) -  v₀ / (v₀ + v) = 100/2000

v₀(v₀ + v) / (v₀ - v)(v₀ + v) -  v₀(v₀ - v) / (v₀ - v)(v₀ + v) = 0.05

                              (v₀² + vv₀) -  (v₀² - vv₀) / (v₀² - v²) = 0.05

                                                          2vv₀ / (v₀² - v²) = 0.05

                                                                         2vv₀  = 0.05 (v₀² - v²)

                                           0.05v² + 2vv₀ - 0.05v₀² =  0

                                                         v² + 40vv₀ - v₀² = 0

quadratic formula positive answer

v = (-40v₀ + √((40v₀)² - 4(1)(v₀²))) / 2

v = (-40v₀ + √(1604v₀²)) / 2

v = (0.049968v₀) / 2

v = 0.02498439v₀

If we assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s

v = 8.56964... = 8.6  m/s

what is the effect of gravity on a falling object? write the conclusion obtained from the coin and feather experiment ?

Answers

Answer:

Pick something up with your hand and drop it. When you release it from your hand, its speed is zero. On the way down its speed increases. The longer it falls the faster it travels. Sounds like acceleration to me.

But acceleration is more than just increasing speed. Pick up this same object and toss it vertically into the air. On the way up its speed will decrease until it stops and reverses direction. Decreasing speed is also considered acceleration.

But acceleration is more than just changing speed. Pick up your battered object and launch it one last time. This time throw it horizontally and notice how its horizontal velocity gradually becomes more and more vertical. Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time and velocity is a vector quantity, this change in direction is also considered acceleration.

In each of these examples the acceleration was the result of gravity. Your object was accelerating because gravity was pulling it down. Even the object tossed straight up is falling — and it begins falling the minute it leaves your hand. If it wasn't, it would have continued moving away from you in a straight line. This is the acceleration due to gravity.

In this initial experiment the bowling ball drops straight to the ground whereas the feathers float, owing to air resistance.

He alludes to the earlier experiment by Galileo that tested the same hypothesis.

"Galileo’s experiment was simple," he explains. "He took a heavy object, and a light one, and dropped them at the same time to see which fell fastest."

Although Galileo’s experiment proved two similarly shaped objects would fall at the same speed despite being different weights, he didn’t have access to a vacuum chamber in the 17th Century to conduct Professor Cox's more extravagant experiment.

Professor Cox also used the bowling ball and feather to prove a hypothesis put forward by Albert Einstein.

His Special Theory of Relativity argued that items would not be falling but standing still due to lack of force acting on them.

"Isaac Newton would say that the ball and the feather fall because there’s a force pulling them down: gravity,’ Professor Cox said.

"But Einstein imagined the scene very differently.

"The “happiest thought of his life” [as Einstein called it] was this; the reason the bowling ball and the feather fall together is because they’re not falling.

"They’re standing still. There is no force acting on them at all.

"He reasoned that if you couldn’t see the background, there’d be no way of knowing that the ball and the feathers were being accelerated towards the Earth.

"So he concluded they weren’t."

The tweaking of Newton’s earlier theory enabled Einstein to more accurately define his own theory, which regards the relationship between space and time.
