Answer from: elenagarcia123

(A) object B has the largest mass because it has the least acceleration

(B) object C has the smallest mass because it has the largest acceleration

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of object A = 5 m/s²

acceleration of object B = 3 m/s²

acceleration of object C = 7 m/s²

A constant force, F

According to Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

m = F / a

Mass of object A:

m = F / 5

Mass of object B:

m = F / 3

Mass of object C:

m = F / 7

(A). Which object has the largest mass:

object B has the largest mass because it has the least acceleration

(B). Which object has the smallest mass:

object C has the smallest mass because it has the largest acceleration

(C). What is the ratio of mass A to mass B;

mass A = F / 5

mass B = F / 3

$mass \ A : \ mass \ B = \frac{F}{5} : \frac{F}{3} \\\\\frac{mass \ A}{mass \ B} = \frac{F}{5} * \frac{3}{F}= \frac{3}{5} \\\\mass \ A : \ mass \ B = 3: 5$

Answer from: Quest

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.

Answer from: Quest

can be answered using momentum.

momentum = p

p1= mass1 * velocity1

p1 = p2

therefore

p1 = 6kg * 4m/s

p1 = 24kgm/s

p2=m2 * v2

24 kgm/s = 7kg * v2

v2 = 24 kgm/s / 7kg

v2= 3.42 m/s
