Beryllium-8 is an unstable isotope and decays into two α particles, which are helium nuclei with mass 6.68×10−27kg. This decay process releases 1.5×10−14J of energy. For this problem, let's assume that the mass of the Beryllium-8 nucleus is just twice the mass of an α particle and that all the energy released in the decay becomes kinetic energy of the α particles. If a Beryllium-8 nucleus is at rest when it decays, what is the speed of the  α particles after...

Neutron Decay 4 On their own, neutrons are unstable particles with a half-life of 618 s when at rest. They decay into a proton, an electron and an electron antineutrino. Half-life is the time that it takes half of a collection of unstable particles to decay. a- The highest energy neutrons produced in a nuclear reactor are traveling at about %15 of the speed of light, About how many seconds is longer in this half - life for these neutrons?...

Some fusion reactors use an induction process in which thermal neutrons collide with deuterium particles that are essentially twice as massive (consisting of one proton and one neutron). Consider a scenario in which a neutron is traveling at 1500 m/s when it collides elastically with a deuterium particle that is initially at rest. Find the magnitude of the neutron's recoil velocity (in m/s). An air hockey puck of mass 0.42 kg is traveling at 3.5 m/s in a direction 30o...

We are bombarded every day by persuasive messages, from commercials to advertisements to requests from a boss or significant other. Share a time that you had to use your persuasive skills, either in your personal or professional life. Briefly explain the situation and the persuasive skills that you used. Lastly, reflect on the effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) of those skills and if there was anything you could have done differently.

The Earth is bombarded by light from the Sun with a typical, average intensity of about 1370 W/m2 . Based on this, what is the average power of the light that hits Jupiter due to the Sun? The radius of the Earth is 6370 km and the average radius of the Earth’s orbit is 150 Gm. The radius of Jupiter is 69.9 Mm and the average radius of Jupiter’s orbit is 778 Gm

Nuclear disarmament should result in the retrieval of large amounts of plutonium from nuclear weapons that are being destroyed. Suggest one method for disposing of this plutonium and one method for repurposing this material. Some people have suggested that radioactive waste should be shot to the sun or outer space. List two reasons that this is not an attractive disposal method.
