What would be the daughter product of the beta decay of lead-212 and what would be the daughter product of the alpha decay of po
kati45 [8]

Answer:

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82

Explanation:

Beta decay occurs when a neutron emits an electron and an anti neutrino from the atomic nucleus, therefore the atomic number of the material increases by one unit.

           Pb + e + ν → Bi

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

In alpha decay, a helium nucleus is emitted from the nucleus of the atom, therefore the atomic number decreases by two units.

         Po +α → Pb

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82

The distance and displacement of a object in motion can be the same (true or false)
Rasek [7]

Aswer:

False, the values ​​of the distance traveled and the displacement only coincide when the trayectorie is a straight line. Otherwise, the distance will always be greater than the offset.

Although these terms are used synonymously in other cases, they are totally different. Since the distance that a mobile travels is the equivalent of the length of its trajectory. Whereas, the displacement will be a vector magnitude.

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 2670 km in 3 hours. Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 11,070 km in 9 hou
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

speed of plane in still air = 1060 km/h

speed of wind = 170 km/h

Explanation:

Let teh speed of plane in still air is vp and the speed of air is va.

Irt travels 2670 km in 3 hours against the wind

So,

vp - va = 2670 / 3 = 890 km/h ..... (1)

It travels 11070 km in 9 hours along the wind.

vp + va = 11070 / 9 = 1230 km/h .... (2)

Adding both the equations

2 vp = 2120

vp = 1060 km/h

and va = 1230 - vp = 1230 - 1060 = 170 km/h

If the sign of work is negative,
aivan3 [116]

If the sign of work is negative, that means the force and the motion are in opposite directions.

Let's say you see something roll off of the shelf. You catch it, and you let it down slowly and gently.

Gravity exerted down-force on it and it moved down. Gravity did positive work on it.

YOU exerted UP-force on it and it moved down. YOU did negative work on it.

(Also, the falling object exerted down-force on your hand, and your hand moved down. The falling object did positive work on your hand ! Where did THAT energy come from ? It came from the potential energy that the object had while it was on the shelf. Your hand absorbed that energy on the way down, doing negative work. So the object didn't have any kinetic energy when it reached the floor, and it did NOT splinter the floor or shatter in smithereens. It had barely enough energy left to make a sound when it hit the floor.)

What are non metals<br><br>​
Lisa [10]

Answer:

In chemistry, a nonmetal (or non-metal) is a chemical element that mostly lacks the characteristics of a metal. Physically, a nonmetal tends to have a relatively low melting point, boiling point, and density. ... Metalloids such as boron, silicon, and germanium are sometimes counted as nonmetals
