Which of the following is an example of a reversible process? a hand pump is rapidly compressed and the pressure and temperature in the pump rise. the pump is held in position as the temperature drops to the ambient temperature. a car engine burns fuel to produce motion of the car and exhausts the 140°c waste products of the combustion into the 20°c atmosphere. an ice cube at 0°c melts while in a water bath at 0°c. a stick of dynamite explodes. a high pressure air tank at room temperature has its valve opened and the gas in the tank rushes out until the pressure in the tank is equal to atmospheric pressure.

The best answer to the question: Which of the following is an example of a reversible process, would be: An ice cube at 0° melts while in a water bath at 0°.

Explanation:

A reversible process in physics is defined as a process, be it of physical, or chemical quality, that can be reversed, without much effort, or without exernal factors having to effect effort on the system. There is very little changes in the systems to produce this reversible effect, and just as the system can move in one direction, it can easily return to how it was before. One example of a reversible process is the transfer of heat from one system to another, without having outside forces, or extra forces and factors, to produce the change, and with very little effort, or energy exchange, the process can be reverted. In this case, the cube and the water, who are at the same temperature, exchange heat, thus, the cube melts. This process of heat transfer from the cube to the water is not altered by external factors, but it is a natural process, and it can be reverted (the transfer of heat, not necessarily the change in appearance, or state), without much effort.

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{a-2}^{z-4}+_2^4\alpha$

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

$_a^z\textrm{x}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}$

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases $\gamma -radiations$ . this process does not change the mass number.

$_a^z\textrm{x}^*\rightarrow _a^z\textrm{x}+_0^0\gamma$

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as $\beta ^+$ -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}+_{+1}^0e$

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 790 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of 28 degrees with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is k = 0.14. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of a = 0.18 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

The drag force, fd, imposed by the surrounding air on a vehicle moving with velocity v is given by fd = cdaρv 2/2 where cd is a constant called the drag coefficient, a is the projected frontal area of the vehicle, and ρ is the air density. an automobile is moving at v = 80 kilometers per hour with cd = 0.28, a = 2.3 m2, and ρ = 1.2 kg/m3.
