Under certain circumstances, a nucleus can decay by emitting a particle more massive than alpha-particle. Consider the following decay processes: " "_(88)^(223)Ra to " "_(82)^(209)Pb + " "_(6)^(14)C " "_(88)^(223)Ra to " "_(86)^(219)Rn + " "_(2)^(4)He. Calculate the Q-values for these decays and determine that both are energetically allowed. |

At night the objects situated outside a brightly illuminated room are not visible through the glass windows. But if the Iights inside the room are off, external objects are visible. Explain the reason. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :At night from external objects enters a room through glass windows. If the bulb glows INSIDE the room, reflected light from the glass window comes of the EYES of the observer. The intensity of this reflected lightis much greater than that of the light coming from outside. So, the external objects are not visible. But if the room is MADE dark, the light coming from outside is sufficient to make the external objects visible. |

Two balls roll towards each other. The red ball has a mass kg 0.5 kg and a speed of 4 m/s just before impact. The green ball has a mass of 0.3 kg and a speed of 2m/s. after the head-on collision, the red ball continues forward with a speed of 2m/s. find the speed of the green ball after the collision. was the collision elastic? |
|
Answer» Solution :First remember that MOMENTUM is a vector quantity, so the direction of the velocity is crucial. Since the balls roll TOWARD each other, one ball has a positive velocity while the other has a negative velocity. Let's call the red ball's velocity before the collision positive, then `v_(red)=+4m//s, and v_("green")=-2m//s.` using a PRIME (') to denote after the collision, CONSERVATION of linear momentum GIVES us the following: total `p_("before")=`total `p_("after")` `m_(red)v_(red)+m_("green")v_("green")=m_(red)v_(red)'+m_("green")v_("green")'` `(0.5)(+4)+(0.3)(-2)=(0.5)(+2)+(0.3)v_("green")'` `v_("green")'=+1.3m//s` |

The electric field in a region is given by vec(E )= E_(0) (x)/(L) hat(i). Find the charge contained inside a cubical volume bounded by the surface x=0, x= L, y= 0, y= L, z= 0 and z=L. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :At x=0, E=0 and at x= l, `vec(E )= E_(0) hat(i)` The direction of the FIELD is along the x-axis, so it will cross the yz-face of the cube. The FLUX of this field `phi = phi_("left face") + phi_("right face") = 0 + E_(0)L^(2) = E_(0)L^(2)` By Gauss.s law `phi= (q)/(in_(0)) THEREFORE q= in_(0) phi = in_(0) E_(0)L^(2)` |
