The pressure exerted by a phonograph needle on a record is surprisingly large. If the equivalent of 0.600 g is supported by a needle, the tip of which is a circle 0.240 mm in radius, what pressure is exerted on the record in N/m2?

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since pressure is defined as the force applied over a surface:

We can associate the force with the weight of the needle computed by using the acceleration of the gravity:

And the area of the the tip (circle) in meters:

Thus, the pressure exerted on the record turns out:

Which is truly a large value due to the tiny area on which the pressure is exerted.

Best regards.

the answer is c i did the same question so i know that's right!

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.
