During which type of radioactive decay is the mass number of a nucleus
reduced by four?
O A. Beta decay (electron)
B. Alpha decay
C. Beta decay (positron)
D. Gamma decay

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:I think the answer is B. The alpha Deacy but not sure

Explanation:

Answer 2

The type of radioactive decay is the mass number of a nucleus reduced by four is known as alpha decay.

What is meant by alpha decay ?

Alpha decay is defined as the type of radioactive decay in which the parent nucleus emits an alpha particle.

Here,

In alpha decay, the parent atomic nuclei emits an alpha particle or helium nucleus and as a result the parent nuclei gets transformed into a different atomic nuclei.

The reaction in alpha decay is given by,

zXᵃ  →  z-₂Yᵃ⁻⁴ + ₂He⁴

From the reaction, it is shown that the new nuclei formed will have a mass number which is decreased by four from that of the parent nuclei. Also, the atomic number of the new atomic nuclei formed is reduced by two.

Thus, in alpha decay, the mass number of the parent nuclei gets reduced by four.

Hence,

The type of radioactive decay is the mass number of a nucleus reduced by four is known as alpha decay.

The sound wave passes from the sea-water into the air. State what happens to; the speed of the waves

Answers

Answer. Explanation: Frequency of the sound decreases and the speed of sound becomes 346m/s from near about 1500 m/s.

The speed of sound wave in water is much more greater than its speed in air, so when the sound wave passes from sea water to air, then it's speed decreases.

What is the gamma factor for an object moving at 0.5c?
A. 0.866
B. 0.707
C. 1.15
D. 1.41​

Answers

Answer:1.15

Explanation:

Answer:

C. 1.15

Explanation:

We can calculate the gamma factor for an object moving at 0.5c, using the formula:  

γ = 1/√(1 - v^2/c^2)

--------

where v is the velocity of the object and c is the speed of light.

Substituting v = 0.5c, we get:

γ = 1/√(1 - 0.5^2) = 1/√(1 - 0.25) = 1/√0.75 ≈ 1.155

--------

Therefore, the gamma factor for an object moving at 0.5c is approximately 1.155.

A fisherman sees 7 wave crests go by in 10.0 s. The crests are 2.43 m apart. Find the period of the wave. (Unit = s)​

Answers

Velocity of the wave is 1.7 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the wave is defined as the number of waves crossing a fixed point per second

So here we will have

Also we know that the distance between two consecutive crest or two consecutive trough is known as wavelength

So here the wavelength of the wave is given as

now we have

The wave period will be 1.42 s.

What is wave period?

The time interval, expressed in seconds, separating two waves as they pass throughout a stationary point has been known as the wave period.

What is wave?

A pulse seems to be a single disturbance, whereas a wave would be a persistent, repeated interruption of a medium.

Calculation of wave period

The frequency = 7 / 10 = 0.7 Hz

Wave period can be calculated by the formula:

Wave period = 1 / frequency

Put the value of frequency in above equation.

Wave period = 1 / 0.7

Wave period = 1.42 s

Therefore, the wave period will be 1.42 s

What can Lisa do to increase the strength of the electromagnet? She can use a nail with weaker magnetic properties. She can change the direction of the nail. She can increase the number of wire loops. She can reduce the current in the wire.

Answers

Answer:She can increase the number of wire loops

Explanation: When the number of loops of wire ( usually around the iron ) increases, the strength of the electromagnet is increased.

According to the equation

B=μ₀ N I

Where

μ₀ = permeability of the core

N= Number of turns of the coil

I= Current flowing through the coil

From the equation above , we can see that The strength of an electromagnet depends the amount of current, no of turns of coil and the permeability  core of coil. we can now say that Increasing the  number of wire loops  increases the strength of electromagnet.

Therefore, Lisa should increase the number of wire loops to increase the strength of the electromagnet

Explanation:

The question says that, "If the linear speed of a mobile moving with MCU is tripled and the radius remains constant, then the centripetal force:"

The formula for the centripetal force is given by :

[tex]F=\dfrac{mv^2}r{}[/tex]

Where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity

r is the radius of path

If the linear speed us tripled, v' = 2v, r = constant, then the new centripetal force is given by :

[tex]F'=\dfrac{mv'^2}r{}\\\\F'=\dfrac{m(3v)^2}{r}\\\\=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\times 9\\\\F'=9F[/tex]

So, the new force becomes 9 times of the initial force.

Explanation:

According to the concept of thermal energy, as the temperature rises thermal energy increases and molecules start vibrating faster and ice changes it's state to water  that is from solid to liquid.

What is thermal energy?

Thermal energy is defined as a type of energy which is contained within a system and is responsible for rise in temperature.Heat is a type of thermal energy.It is concerned with the first law of thermodynamics.

Thermal energy arises from friction and drag.It includes the internal energy or enthalpy of a body of matter and radiation.It is related to internal energy and heat .It arises when a substance containing  molecules or atoms are vibrating faster.

What is the future of the universe?

All of the stars and galaxies will ultimately run out of energy as the universe expands, and the universe will cool down, resulting in the "Big Chill." It will take an indefinite amount of time for gravity to stop the universe's expansion if its density is equal to the critical density.

There won't be any other galaxies visible outside of our own. The universe will then actually become cold, dark, and empty once the stars have burned out.
