Alpha emission is the process results in a change in mass number. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is mass number?</h3>

The total number of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus is known as the mass number, often known as the atomic mass number or nucleon number.

It's about the same as the atom's atomic mass, expressed in atomic mass units.

The alpha particle is a helium nucleus with two protons and two neutrons in an alpha decay or alpha emission. The number of protons and neutrons is reduced by two as a result of this action.

The quantity of protons and neutrons is affected by gamma emission descent. Also, while electron capture has no effect on the number of neutrons, it does raise the 1 also number of protons by one.

Alpha emission is the process results in a change in mass number.

Hence option B is correct.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

F = 0i (in the x-direction), 0j (in the y-direction),-8.59*10^-4 N k (In the z-direction)

Explanation:

The force given by charged particles moving in a magnetic field is given below (cross is cross product, they don't have that format in the equation tool):

F=qv (cross) B\\

Now we can perform the cross product between v and B

v(cross)B = \left[\begin{array}{cc}4.19*10^{4} &-3.85*10^{4}\\1.8&0&\en[tex]v(cross)B = 69300 (kg*m/(s^2*C))\\d{array}\right][/tex]

Now multiply by Q (charge) to get the force

F = -1.24*10^-8 * 69300\\F = -8.59*10^-4N

F = -8.59*10^-4 N k

F = 0i, 0j, (-8.59*10^-4)k

What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? Sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to tr
vagabundo [1.1K]

The speed of sound depends on any form of matter or medium in which sound travels through it and depends on the amount of molecular collisions. Sound travels slowest in gas in the form of steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart making it harder for the energy of vibrations hit the particles and make sound.

Moreover, sound travelling through solids like ice is much faster because the particles are closer together so the sound waves do not have to travel that far making the number of collisions greater and sound spread more easily.

A ladder 5.0 m long leans against a wall inside a spaceship. From the point of view of a person on the ship, the base of the lad
andriy [413]

Answer:

the angle the ladder makes with the floor as seen by an observer on Earth is 71.9°

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and as illustrated in the diagram below.

speed of the ship v = 0.90c

base of the ladder from the wall x₀ = 3.0 m

top of the later above the floor y = 4.0 m

we determine angle θ.

from the diagram,

tanθ = y/x₀

tanθ = y / x₀√( 1 - v²/c² )

we substitute

tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - ((0.9c)²/c²) )

tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - ((0.9²)c²/c²) )

tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - (0.9²) )

tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - 0.81 )

tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√0.19

tanθ = 4.0 / 1.30766968

tanθ = 3.058876

θ = tan⁻¹( 3.058876 )

θ = 71.8965 ≈ 71.9°

Therefore, the angle the ladder makes with the floor as seen by an observer on Earth is 71.9°

Can physics measure the work a porter does? What do you need to know to measure a porter's work? What produces work, and how is
lisabon 2012 [21]

The body of a porter carrying load on head on a level road uses more energy than is required when the porter is resting completely. In this way the porter is doing some work.

However, when we think of theoretical definition of work, there is no force resisting the horizontal movement of the load when carried on a level road, and therefore there is no work done when a porter carrying a load on his head walk along a level road.

When the porter is going down the stairs the gravitational energy acting on the load is assisting the downward movement of the load. In this way energy is released by downward movement of the load. Thus the porter is doing negative work on the load.
