Suppose that an object undergoes simple harmonic motion, and its displacement has an amplitude A = 15.0 cm and a frequency f = 11.0 cycles/s (Hz). What is the maximum speed ( v ) of the object? A. 165 m/s
B. 1.65 m/s
C. 10.4 m/s
D. 1040 m/s

Maximum speed ( v ) = 10.4 m/s (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Amplitude A = 15.0 cm = 0.15 m

Frequency f = 11.0 cycles/s (Hz)

Find:

Maximum speed ( v )

Computation:

Angular frequency = 2πf

Angular frequency = 2π(11)

Angular frequency = 69.14

Maximum speed ( v ) = WA

Maximum speed ( v ) = 69.14 x 0.15

Maximum speed ( v ) = 10.371

Maximum speed ( v ) = 10.4 m/s (Approx)

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.

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.

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 . this process does not change the mass number.

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 -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

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