What is found by dividing distance by velocity?

Dividing distance by velocity gives the time taken to cover that distance. This is known as the time taken to travel a certain distance at a particular speed.


What is the relationship between object distance image distance and focal length of a concave mirror?

In a concave mirror, the relationship between object distance, image distance, and focal length is described by the mirror formula: 1/f = 1/do + 1/di, where f is the focal length, do is the object distance, and di is the image distance. As the object distance changes, the image distance and focal length will also change accordingly.


Do radioactive emissions have a charge?

Depends on what type of radioactive decay you are talking about. Beta decay (electron or positron) will have a charge, while alpha decay will not. Beta decay can either be positron decay or electron decay. Positron will result in the parent to have the same atomic mass but a different atomic number. The atomic number will be one less than that of the parent. Meaning one proton will decay into a neutron and a positron, which is a positively charged particle. Electron decay results in the parent gaining a proton while the atomic mass stays the same. A neutron decays into a proton and an electron and the electron is emitted with a negative charge. Alpha decay, however, results in the emission of a neutral helium particle. Gamma decay results in the same parent with no loss of charge or atomic number and gives off a high energy photon called a gamma particle.


Which thermodynamic process gives maximum work?

Reversible adiabatic expansion/compression


Why would an atomic nucleus give off a particle?

An atomic nucleus gives off a particle to become more stable and reach a lower energy state. This process is known as radioactive decay.

What is the multiplication reciprocal of 19?

A reciprocal is the number that when multiplied with the original number will give you 1. 1/19 times 19 gives you 1.


What is the negative reciprocal of a slope?

The negative reciprocal of any gradient gives the gradient of the line perpendicular to it. If you had a line of gradient 2, the negative reciprocal would be -1/2 Just change the sign on the number and flip the number/fraction to get the negative reciprocal.


Is 9 the reciprocal of 1 0ver 9?

Yes. The reciprocal of 1/9 is equal to 1/(1/9) = 9 In other words, the reciprocal is the value that when multiplied by the original amount gives 1.


Multiplying both terms by the same number gives an fraction?

How do you find the reciprocal of a number?

Reciprocal is the multiplictive inverse. For example, 1/x when multiplied by x gives 1. x is the reciprocal of 1/x. Thus, if a number, when multiplied by a given number, produces 1 as the product, then that number is called the reciprocal of the given number.


The radioactive decay constant in days-1 if the radioisotope has a half life of 52 days?

Rate constant (zero order) k = [ln(2)] / t0.5 = 0.693 / 52(day) = 0.013 day-1 (or 0.013 per day)


What does reciprocal mean in math?

A reciprocal is 1 divided by a number. So, the reciprocal of x is 1/x. For example: The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 is 0.5 The reciprocal of 9 is 1/9 is 0.111111111111 The reciprocal of 0.5 is 1/0.5 is 2. To divide one by a number is called 'taking the reciprocal.' If you have a fraction, taking the reciprocal is fairly easy: simply 'flip' it. I.e., put the numerator in the denominator, and the denominator in the numerator. For example: The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2 The reciprocal of 7/8 is 8/7 The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4 (/1). The technical mathematical definition of the reciprocal of x is: "The number which, when multiplied by x, gives one."
