What is the maximum kinetic energy (in keV to 3 significant figures) of an electron emitted in the beta decay of a free neutron? Write down the decay equation using accepted notation.
Mass of a Neutron: 1.008665 u
Mass of a Proton: 1.007276 u
Mass of an Electron...
thankyou for your reply :) !
i understand that gravity is acting downwards with the same force in both cases (and not horizontally), but that doesn't explain why the cartilage expands when the body is lying down if the force of gravity is exactly the same as when the body is standing. The...

I performed the following experiment in my backyard this afternoon.
A 500ml can is filled with water and a ping pong ball floats on its surface. The can is dropped from a height of 1m onto pavement. The experiment is then repeated with the exception that the second time...
thankyou for your help :)
i initially skipped this one and moved onto the others and after having done a few more its become more clear to me.
in the end:
log3(4)-2-2log3(6)
given a^c=b and loga(b)=c
to change 2 to base 3: log3(9) =2
so
log3(4)-log3(9)-2log3(6)...
