A nucleus of the stable isotope Pb(208,82) has more neutrons than protons. Explain why there is this imbalance between proton and neutron numbers by referring to the forces that operate within the nucleus.

Must include 3 points from 1-5 and 1 point from 6-7 for 4 marks. 1.Strong nuclear force (SNF) affects nucleons or protons and neutrons.2. SNF attraction extends up to 3 fm (allow 1–4 fm) 3. The SNF is repuls...

What is the total capacitance of a circuit containing a 3microfarad capacitor and a 2microfarad capacitor in series.

For capacitors in series (1/Total capacitance)=(1/capacitance1)+(1/capacitance2).1/C=[(1/(3 10^-6))+(1/(2 10^-6))]^-1Total capacitance=1.2*10^-6=1.2microfarad

A curve has equation y = 3x^3 - 7x + 10. Point A(-1, 14) lies on this curve. Find the equation of the tangent to the curve at the point A.

Firstly, we define a tangent as a straight line touching a curve at 1 point only.We can describe a straight line using this linear relation:y - y 1 = m.(x - x 1 )We know a point on this line A(-1, 14) = (x 1...

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is used during translation to form polypeptides. Describe how mRNA is produced in the nucleus of a cell.

RNA polymerase scans the antisense DNA strand in the 3’ to 5’ direction, until it locates a promotor region. RNA polymerase then unwinds the DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases...
