Answer: Radioactive nucleus.

Explanation: First, we can define the radiation as the emanation of particles or photons, for example, a flashlight is radiating photons when it is turned on.

So a neutron that emanates particles or photons when change form, is a nucleus that radiates, and those are called "radioactive nucleus"

Where radioactive implies that there is a presence of radiation in some way. In this case, the radiation is caused because the nucleus goes from an energetic state to other with lower energy, and that energy must be dissipated in some way, in this case, in form of radiation.

Answer:Radioactive

Explanation:

The radioactive nucleus is the one which does not has enough binding energy to hold the nucleus in a stable state and thus radiates either electron or proton to become a stable element.

A radioactive element is formed when after billions of years such as uranium and thorium. The stability of the nucleus depends upon the opposition of attractive and repulsive force among the nucleus.

An object on a number line moved from x = 15 cm to x = 165 cm and then
olasank [31]

Answer:

v_avg = 2.9 cm/s

Explanation:

The average velocity of the object is the sum of the distance of all its trajectories divided the time:

v_{avg}=\frac{x_{all}}{t}

x_all is the total distance traveled by the object. In this case you have that the object traveled in the first trajectory 165cm-15cm = 150cm, and in the second one, 165cm - 25cm = 140cm

Then, x_all = 150cm + 140cm = 290cm

The average velocity is, for t = 100s

v_{avg}=\frac{290cm}{100s}=2.9\frac{cm}{s}

hence, the average velocity of the object in the total trajectory traveled is 2.9 cm/s

What are the magnitude and direction of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball? (enter your magnitude to at least one decimal
murzikaleks [220]
Details are missing in the question. Complete text of the problem:

"The gravitational force exerted on a baseball is 2.28 N down. A pitcher throws the ball horizontally with velocity 16.5 m/s by uniformly accelerating it along a straight horizontal line for a time interval of 181 ms. The ball starts from rest.

(a) Through what distance does it move before its release? (m)
(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball? (Enter your magnitude to at least one decimal place.)"


Solution

(a) The pitcher accelerates the baseball from rest to a final velocity of v_f = 16.5 m/s, so \Delta v=16.5 m/s, in a time interval of \Delta t = 181 ms=0.181 s. The acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction (x-axis) is therefore

a_x =  \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}= \frac{16.5 m/s}{0.181 s}=91.2 m/s^2

And the distance covered by the ball during this time interval, before it is released, is:

S= \frac{1}{2} a_x (\Delta t)^2 = \frac{1}{2} (91.2 m/s^2)(0.181 s)^2=1.49 m

(b) For this part we need to consider also the weight of the ball, which is W=mg=2.28 N

From this, we find its mass: m= \frac{W}{g}= \frac{2.28 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=0.23 Kg

Now we can calculate the magnitude of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball. On the x-axis, we have

F_x = m a_x = (0.23 kg)(91.2 m/s^2)=20.98 N

We also know that the ball is moving straight horizontally. This means that the vertical component of the force exerted by the pitcher must counterbalance the weight of the ball (acting downward), in order to have a net force of zero along the y-axis, and so:

F_y=W=mg=2.28 N (upward)

So, the magnitude of the force is

F= \sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}=  \sqrt{(20.98N)^2+(2.28N)^2}=21.2 N

To find the direction, we should find the angle of F with respect to the horizontal. This is given by

\tan \alpha =  \frac{F_y}{F_x}= \frac{2.28 N}{20.98 N}=0.11

From which we find \alpha=6.2^{\circ}

A standard 1 kilogram weight is a cylinder 51.0 mm in height and 42.0 mm in diameter. Determine the density of the material
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

14160 kg/m^3

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the volume of the cylinder.

The volume of the cylinder is given by:

V=\pi r^2 h

where:

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{42.0 mm}{2}=21.0 mm=0.021 m is the radius

h=51.0 mm=0.051 m is the height

Substituting, we find

V=\pi (0.021 m)^2 (0.051 m)=7.1 \cdot 10^{-5} m^3

And the density is given by

d=\frac{m}{V}

where m = 1 kg is the mass. Substituting, we find

d=\frac{1 kg}{7.1\cdot 10^{-5} m^3}=14,160 kg/m^3

In the produce section of a supermarket, five pears are placed on a spring scale. The placement of the pears stretches the sprin
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The displacement of the spring due to weight is 0.043 m

Explanation:

Given :

Mass m = 2 Kg

Spring constant k = 450 \frac{N}{m}

According to the hooke's law,

  F = -kx

Where F = force, x = displacement

Here,

F = mg         ( g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} } )

F = 2 \times 9.8 = 19.6 N

Now for finding displacement,

  x = \frac{F}{k}

Here minus sign only represent the direction so we take magnitude of it.

  x = \frac{19.6}{450}

  x = 0.043 m

Therefore, the displacement of the spring due to weight is 0.043 m
