The answer for the following questions is explained below.

Explanation:

The two variables that affect kinetic energy are:

mass and
velocity

velocity - The faster an object moves,the more the kinetic energy it has.

mass - Kinetic energy increases as mass increases

The kinetic energy of an object depends on both its mass and its velocity

Kinetic energy increases as mass increases

For example,think about rolling a bowling ball and a golf ball down a bowling lane at same velocity

Here,the bowling ball has more mass than the golf ball

Therefore you use more energy to roll the bowling ball than to roll the golf ball

The bowling ball is more likely to knock down the pins because it has more kinetic energy than the golf ball

2. Which of the following does not have a nucleus? a. prokaryotes b. eukaryotes c. prokaryotes and eukaryotes

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Erythrocytes

Erythrocytes do not contain a nucleus. This would make answer choice "A" correct. Erythrocytes are red blood cells and these cells differ from the other cells of the body because of the absence of the nucleus. All the other cells noted have nuclei.

the atomic number of barium is 56 what do you know about the subatomic particles in an atom of this element

Reptile [31]

Answer is 56 protons and 56 electrons.

Explanation;

Atomic number is equal to number of protons. Hence, when the atomic number is 56, it means that atom has 56 protons.

When the element is in neutral state, number of protons = number of electrons. Hence, we can say that barium atom has 56 electrons.

But same element can have different number of neutrons. Those are called isotopes. Hence, we cannot say that there are 56 neutrons in barium atom without having its mass number. (Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons)

slader Consider the following reactions: A. uranium-238 emits an alpha particle; B. plutonium-239 emits an alpha parti- cle; C.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

For A: The equation is $_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{90}^{234}\textrm{Th}+_2^4\alpha$

For B: The equation is $_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}\rightarrow _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_2^4\alpha$

For C: The equation is $_{90}^{239}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{235}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Explanation:

Alpha decay process is the process in which nucleus of an atom disintegrates into two particles. The first one which is the alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. This is also known as helium nucleus. The second particle is the daughter nuclei which is the original nucleus minus the alpha particle released.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha$

Beta decay process is defined as the process the neutrons get converted into an electron and a proton. The released electron is known as the beta particle. In this process, the atomic number of the daughter nuclei gets increased by a factor of 1 but the mass number remains the same.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

For A: Uranium-238 emits an alpha particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{90}^{234}\textrm{Th}+_2^4\alpha$

For B: Plutonium-239 emits an alpha particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}\rightarrow _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_2^4\alpha$

For C: Thorium-239 emits a beta particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{90}^{239}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{235}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^0\beta$
