Bismuth-208, which has an atomic mass of 208u and 83 protons in the nucleus, decays through the emission of 2 alpha particles and a beta-positive particle. What isotope results from this decay?

20883Bi ==> xyZ + 42a + 42a + 01B x = 208 - 8 = 200 y = 83 - 5 = 78 Proton number = 78 ther...

Using standard formulae, derive an expression for the final speed of a falling object in terms of its change in height. Assume zero air resistance or other resistive forces.

Ek = (1/2)mv2

Ep = mg(dh)

Set these equal to each other, because of conservation of energy:

(1/2)mv2 = mg(dh)

Cancel the mass:

<...

What are Newton's three laws?

First: an object remains at rest or constant speed unless acted on by an external force

Second: Force is equal to rate of change of momentum

Third: Every action has an equal and opposite rea...

Explain how Maxima and Minima occur in Young's double slit experiment

When coherent, in-phase light passes through two slits they act as seperate sources, these waves diffract and overlap, causing regions of constructive and destructive interference. When they collide with ...
