why is it that only alpha particles are emitted by radioactive nuclei while protons and neutrons are not?
why is it possible to produce the fission of uranium 235 with slow neutrons where as it is necessary to use fast neutrons to produce the fission of uranium 238
A ball is tossed with enough speed straight up so that it is in the air several seconds. (a) What is the velocity of the ball when it reaches its highest point? (b) What is its velocity 1 s before it reaches its highest point? (c) What is the change in its velocity during this 1-s interval? (d) What is its velocity 1 s after it reaches its highest point? (e) What is the change in velocity during this 1-s interval? (f) What is the change in velocity during the 2-s interval? (Careful!) (g) What is the acceleration of the ball during any of these time intervals and at the moment the ball has zero velocity?

A satellite revolves round the earth at a height equal to radius of the earth. Calculate its (i)
orbital speed and (ii) period. Take G = 6.67 x 10-11 N-m2/kg2
• The radius ofthe earth= 6400
km and the mass of the earth = 6 x 1024 kg.
The radius of the circular orbit of the earth, revolving round the sun, is 1.5 x 108 km. The
orbital speed of the earth is 30 krnls. Calculate the mass of the sun from these data. G =
6.67 X 10-11 N-m2/kg2

If the earth were made completely of gold, what would have been the magnitude of
gravitational acceleration on its surface ? The radius of the earth is 6400km, density of gold is
19.3 X 103 kg/m3 and G = 6.67 X 10-11 N-m2/kg2
