(a) Define

(i) proton number;

(ii) nucleon number;

(iii) isotopes.

(b) A nuclide \(^A_ZX\) emits \(\beta\)-particle to form a daughter nuclide Y. Write a nuclear equation to illustrate the charge conservation.

(c) The radioactive nuclei \(^{210}_{84}P_o\) emits an \(\alpha\) - particle to produce \(^{206}_{82}P_b\). Calculate the energy, in MeV, released in each disintegration.


Take the masses of  \(^{210}_{84}P_o\) = 209.936730 u;

\(^{206}_{82}P_b\) = 205.929421 u;

\(^{4}_{2}He\) = 4.001504 u;

and that 1u = 931 MeV

(a) State the conditions for the equilibrium of a rigid body acted upon by parallel forces.

(b)(i) Describe an experiment to determine the mass of a metre rule using the principle of moments.

(ii) State two precautions necessary to obtain accurate results in the experiment described in (b)(i) above.

(c) A bullet of mass 120 g is fired horizontally into a fixed wooden block with a speed of 20 ms\(^{-1}\). If the bullet is brought to rest in the block in 0.1s by a constant resistance, calculate the (i) magnitude of the resistance; (ii) distance moved by the bullet in the wood.

A stone thrown horizontally from the top of a vertical ice is completely melted. Determine the total mass of wall with a velocity of 15ms\(^{-1}\), hits the horizontal ground water in the container at a point 45m from the base of the wall. Calculate the specific latent heat of steam = 2.3 x 10\(^3\) Jg\(^{-1}\) height of the wall. [g = 10ms\(^{-2}\)]

 A ball is projected specific latent heat of ice = 3.4 x 10\(^{2}\) Jg\(^{-1}\) horizontally from a height of 20m above the ground specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 Jg\(^{-1}\) K\(^{-1}\) with an initial velocity of 0.4ms\(^{-1}\). Calculate the horizontal distance moved by the ball before hitting the ground. [g = 10ms\(^{-1}\)]
