Radioisotopes often emit alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. The distance they travel through matter increases in order from alpha to gamma. Each radioisotope has a characteristic half-life, which is the time needed for half of a sample of radioisotope to undergo nuclear decay. Which quality is desirable for a radioisotope that is used for medical imaging of a specific organ

How would doubling the made of an object change the objects potential energy

You hang a book bag on a spring scale and place the bag on a platform scale so that the platform scale reads 23.7n and the spring scale reads 13.8n. what is the magnitude of the force that earth exerts on the bag?

An electron is trapped at a defect in a crystal. the defect may be modeled as a one-dimensional, rigid-walled box of width 1.00 nm. (a) sketch the wavefunctions and probability densities for the n 1 and n 2 states. (b) for the n 1 state, nd the probability of nding the electron between x1 0.15 nm and x2 0.35 nm, where x 0 is the left side of the box. (c) repeat (b) for the n 2 state. (d) calculate the energies in electron volts of the n 1 and n 2 states
