Start an single atom tab. observe the decay of polonium-211. after each decay, press the reset nucleus button to watch the process again. write a description of alpha decay for po-211

Two nitro no2 groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. they can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). it turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each no2 group can have is required to be a multiple of ε, where =ε×1.010−24 j. in other words, each no2 group could have ε of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ε, or 3ε, and so forth — but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 32ε. then, some heat is removed from the system, and the total rotational kinetic energy falls to 18ε. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.

Before it was launched, a helium-filled balloon had a pressure of 201 kpa at a temperature of 27°c. at an altitude of 15,000 m, the pressure had decreased to 2.5 kpa and the temperature had dropped to -14 °c. the volume of the balloon increased to 59.3 m3. what is the original volume of the balloon? 13 m3 0.85 m3 0.077 m3 1.17 m3
