An airplane accelerates steadily from rest to 355 m/s, after travelling a distance of 105,000 m. How long, in minutes, does it take the airplane to reach this speed?

The first step is to identify which components of the ‘SUVAT equations of motion’ the question gives us. Here we have the initial (u) and final (v) speeds, the distance (s) and ...

Describe the process of beta-minus decay. What happens to the mass number and atomic number when alpha, beta, and gamma decay occurs?

In beta-minus decay, a neutron decays into a proton plus an electron. For alpha decay, the mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2. For beta-minus decay, the mass number remains th...

The time taken for a wave to pass a point is 2.5 seconds. What is the frequency of the wave?

For this, we need to use the equation F = 1/T (where F = frequncy, and T = period).  The period of this wave is the time taken for one whole wave to pass i.e. from one wave crest to the next wave crest.  ...
