A1.00 kg mass is placed at the free end of a compressed spring. the force constant of the spring is 115 n/m. the spring has been compressed 0.200 m from its neutral position. it is now released. neglecting the mass of the spring and assuming that the mass is sliding on a frictionless surface, how fast will the mass move as it passes the neutral position of the spring?

Here 1 kg mass is hold against compressed spring

when it is released and reached to natural position it will start moving with certain speed

As per energy concept we will now say that potential energy stored in the spring will convert into kinetic energy of the block

so here we will say

so block will released with speed 2.145 m/s

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.
