Firecrackers A and B are apart. You are standing exactly halfway between them. Your lab partner is on the other side of firecracker A. You see two flashes of light, from the two explosions, at exactly the same instant of time. Define event 1 to be 鈥渇irecracker A explodes鈥 and event 2 to be 鈥渇irecracker B explodes.鈥 According to your lab partner, based on measurements he or she makes, does event 1 occur before, after, or at the same time as event 2? Explain
A 1.0 g particle has momentum 400,000 kgm/s. What is the particle鈥檚 speed in m/s?
The radioactive element radium (Ra) decays by a process known as alpha decay, in which the nucleus emits a helium nucleus. (These high-speed helium nuclei were named alpha particles when radioactivity was first discovered, long before the identity of the particles was established.) The reaction is , where Rn is the element radon. The accurately measured atomic masses of the three atoms are , , and . How much energy is released in each decay? (The energy released in radioactive decay is what makes nuclear waste 鈥渉ot.鈥)
