This worksheet provides examples of radioactive decay equations for alpha, beta, and positron decay. Students are asked to write the decay equations for various nuclides undergoing each of these types of decay. They are also asked to write some decay equations in the opposite direction. The key learning objectives are to gain practice writing nuclear decay equations and representing decay in both directions.

This document discusses velocity, including:
1) The definitions of average velocity (V) and instantaneous velocity (v) using change in position (Δs) over change in time (Δt).
2) Examples of calculating average velocity for objects moving in a straight line with constant acceleration.
3) An example of calculating the displacement (d) and average velocity (V) of an object moving along a path composed of several straight segments.
4) Applying the concept of average velocity to objects moving at an angle to calculate the resultant velocity (V).
1) Dielectric materials have a dielectric constant (ε) which describes their ability to be polarized by an external electric field. Materials with higher dielectric constants store more electrical energy.
2) The dielectric constant of water is 78.5, much higher than most other materials like glycerol at 42.5 or ethanol at 24.3. This is why water is commonly used as a dielectric in capacitors.
3) The dielectric constant determines the capacitance of a capacitor. Capacitance increases as the dielectric constant increases for a given capacitor geometry.
