You purchased 5.8 kg of apples from Wollaston. You noticed that they used a spring scale with the smallest division of 8.6 g to weigh them. What is the relative error in this weight measurement as a percentage? [For example, if you find it to be 1.2% you should enter 1.2 in the answer box.]

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.

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

$x(t)=ax(x-6)$

where $a$ is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at $t=3$ , and we know that

$x(3)=10\implies -9a=10\implies a=-\dfrac{10}9$

so that the position function is

$x(t)=-\dfrac{10}9x(x-6)$

which means the velocity is

$v(t)=\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}=-\dfrac{20}9x+\dfrac{60}9$

then the total distance traveled is

$\displaystyle\int_{t=0}^{t=6}|v(t)|\,\mathrm dt=\left\{\int_{t-0}^{t=3}-\int_{t=3}^{t=6}\right\}v(t)\,\mathrm dt=20$

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at $x=0$ and ends at $x=0$ , so its displacement is 0.

Onsider a u-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. now, equal volumes of water (ρ = 62.4 lbm/ft3) and light oil (ρ = 49.3 lbm/ft3) are poured from different arms. a person blows from the oil side of the u-tube until the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom of the u-tube, and thus the liquid levels in the two arms are the same. if the fluid height in each arm is 31 in, determine the gage pressure the person exerts on the oil by blowing. (round the final answer to three decimal places.)
