Calculate the energy emitted during nuclear decay.
The information presented in this section supports the following AP® learning objectives and science practices:
5.B.8.1 The student is able to describe emission or absorption spectra associated with electronic or nuclear transitions as transitions between allowed energy states of the atom in terms of the principle of energy conservation, including characterization of the frequency of radiation emitted or absorbed.
(S.P. 1.2, 7.2)
5.C.1.1 The student is able to analyze electric charge conservation for nuclear and elementary particle reactions and make predictions related to such reactions based upon conservation of charge.
(S.P. 6.4, 7.2)
5.C.2.1 The student is able to predict electric charges on objects within a system by application of the principle of charge conservation within a system.
(S.P. 6.4)
5.G.1.1 The student is able to apply conservation of nucleon number and conservation of electric charge to make predictions about nuclear reactions and decays such as fission, fusion, alpha decay, beta decay, or gamma decay.
(S.P. 6.4)
Nuclear
decay has provided an amazing window into the realm of the very small. Nuclear decay gave the first indication of the connection between mass and energy, and it revealed the existence of two of the four basic forces in nature. In this section, we explore the major modes of nuclear decay; and, like those who first explored them, we will discover evidence of previously unknown particles and conservation laws.
Some nuclides are stable, apparently living forever. Unstable nuclides decay (that is, they are radioactive), eventually producing a stable nuclide after many decays. We call the original nuclide the
parent and its decay products the
daughters . Some radioactive nuclides decay in a single step to a stable nucleus. For example,
is unstable and decays directly to
, which is stable. Others, such as
, decay to another unstable nuclide, resulting in a
decay series in which each subsequent nuclide decays until a stable nuclide is finally produced. The decay series that starts from
is of particular interest, since it produces the radioactive isotopes
and
, which the Curies first discovered (see
[link] ). Radon gas is also produced (
in the series), an increasingly recognized naturally occurring hazard. Since radon is a noble gas, it emanates from materials, such as soil, containing even trace amounts of
and can be inhaled. The decay of radon and its daughters produces internal damage. The
decay series ends with
, a stable isotope of lead.
is it possible to leave every good at the same level

I don't think so. because check it, if the demand for chicken increases, people will no longer consume fish like they used to causing a fall in the demand for fish

is not really possible to let the value of a goods to be same at the same time.....

Suppose the inflation rate is 6%, does it mean that all the goods you purchase will cost
6% more than previous year? Provide with reasoning.
Not necessarily. To measure the inflation rate economists normally use an averaged price index of a basket of certain goods. So if you purchase goods included in the basket, you will notice that you pay 6% more, otherwise not necessarily.
Good day
How do I calculate this question: C= 100+5yd G= 2000 T= 2000 I(planned)=200.
Suppose the actual output is 3000. What is the level of planned expenditures at this level of output?

money as unit of account means what?
Kalombe
A unit of account is something that can be used to value goods and services and make calculations
Jim
all of you please speak in English I can't understand you're language

I want to know how can we define macroeconomics in one line
Muhammad
it must be .9 or 0.9
no Mpc is greater than 1
Y=100+.9Y+50
Y-.9Y=150
0.1Y/0.1=150/0.1
Y=1500

Mercy is it clear?😋

hi can someone help me on this question
If a negative shocks shifts the IS curve to the left, what type of policy do you suggest so as to stabilize the level of output?
discuss your answer using appropriate graph.
