Question 1

What is Artificial transmutation?

Answer 1

converts an element into another element by bombarding it with a fundamental particle.

Question 2

distinguish between artificial transmutations and natural radioactive decay

Answer 2

The natural transmutation process occurs in unstable radioactive elements. On the other hand, artificial transmutation occurs when atoms of one element are struck with fundamental particles.

Question 3

explain heat transfers in terms of conduction, convection and radiation

Answer 3

conduction heat transfer through stationary matter by physical contact convection heat transfer by the macroscopic movement of fluid radiation heat transfer which occurs when microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, or other electromagnetic radiation is emitted or absorbed.

Question 4

what is the formula for momentum?

Answer 4

P=MV
