Answer: the correct answer is 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule
Explanation:
Use Energy Conservation. By ``alpha decay converts'', we mean that the parent particle turns into an alpha particle and daughter particles. Adding the mass of the alpha and daughter radon, we get
m = 4.00260 u + 222.01757 u = 226.02017 u .
The parent had a mass of 226.02540 u, so clearly some mass has gone somewhere. The amount of the missing mass is
Delta m = 226.02540 u - 226.02017 u = 0.00523 u ,
which is equivalent to an energy change of
Delta E = (0.00523 u)*(931.5MeV/1u)
Delta E = 4.87 MeV
Converting 4.87 MeV to Joules
1 joule [J] = 6241506363094 mega-electrón voltio [MeV]
4 mega-electrón voltio = 6.40870932 x 10^(-13) joule
4.87 mega-electrón voltio = 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule
The optimal angle of 45° for maximum horizontal range is only valid when initial height is the same as final height.
<span>In that particular situation, you can prove it like this: </span>
<span>initial velocity is Vo </span>
<span>launch angle is α </span>
<span>initial vertical velocity is </span>
<span>Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>
<span>horizontal velocity is </span>
<span>Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>
<span>total time in the air is the the time it needs to fall back to a height of 0 m, so </span>
<span>d = v×t + a×t²/2 </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>d = distance = 0 m </span>
<span>v = initial vertical velocity = Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>
<span>t = time = ? </span>
<span>a = acceleration by gravity = g (= -9.8 m/s²) </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>0 = Vo×sin(α)×t + g×t²/2 </span>
<span>0 = (Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2)×t </span>
<span>t = 0 (obviously, the projectile is at height 0 m at time = 0s) </span>
<span>or </span>
<span>Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2 = 0 </span>
<span>t = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>
<span>Now look at the horizontal range. </span>
<span>r = v × t </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>r = horizontal range = ? </span>
<span>v = horizontal velocity = Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>
<span>t = time = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>r = (Vo×cos(α)) × (-2×Vo×sin(α)/g) </span>
<span>r = -(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g </span>
<span>To find the extreme values of r (minimum or maximum) with variable α, you must find the first derivative of r with respect to α, and set it equal to 0. </span>
<span>dr/dα = d[-(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × d[sin(2α)] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × cos(2α) × d(2α) / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -2 × (Vo)² × cos(2α) / g </span>
<span>Vo and g are constants ≠ 0, so the only way for dr/dα to become 0 is when </span>
<span>cos(2α) = 0 </span>
<span>2α = 90° </span>
<span>α = 45° </span>
Answer:
Explanation:
Electric field strength= Force/unit charge
E= (kQq/r²)/q ₓ r
where r is the unit vector in the direction of unit charge
E=
