In an alpha decay, an atom emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons: this means that during this kind of decay, the original atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons from its nucleus.

This also means that the atomic number Z of the element (the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus) decreases by 2 units in the process, while the mass number A (the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons) decreases by 4 units.

A box is pushed 40 m by a mover. The amount of work done was 2,240 j. How much force was exerted on the box
Georgia [21]

The force exerted on the box is 56 N

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

For the box in this problem, we have:

W = 2240 J is the work done

d = 40 m is the displacement of the box

Assuming that the  force is parallel to the displacement, \theta=0

Solving the equation for F, we find the force exerted on the box:

F=\frac{W}{d cos \theta}=\frac{2240}{(40)(cos 0)}=56 N

A complete circuit contains two parallel connected devices and a generator for providing the electromotive force. The resistance
irga5000 [103]
We are asked to solve and determine the magnitude of the current flowing through the first device. In order for us to have a better understanding of the problem, we can refer to the attached picture which contains electric circuit diagram. Since it the problem we are already given with an electromotive source or the voltage supply and since the two resistance is in parallel, it would clearly mean that the voltage drop in each resistance is just the same. The resistance 1 uses the 40 volts at the same time the resistance 2 uses 40 volts also. Solving further for the current, we can apply Ohm's law which V = IR where "V" represents the voltage, the "I" represents the current and "R" represents the resistance.

Such as the solution in obtaining current is shown below:
I = V / R, substitute values we have it
I = 40 volts / 1208 ohms
I = 0.0331 Amperes

Therefore, the current flowing in the first device is 0.033 Amperes or 33 milliAmperes.

A flat surface is in a uniform magnetic field. Given only the area of the surface and the magnetic flux through the surface, it
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Given the area A of a flat surface and the magnetic flux through the surface \Phi it is possible to calculate the magnitude \frac{\Phi}{A}=B\ cos \theta.

Explanation:

The magnetic flux gives an idea of how many magnetic field lines are passing through a surface. The SI unit of the magnetic flux \Phi is the weber (Wb), of the magnetic field B is the tesla (T) and of the area A is (m^{2}). So 1 Wb=1 T.m².

For a flat surface S of area A in a uniform magnetic field B, with \theta being the angle between the vector normal to the surface S and the direction of the magnetic field B, we define the magnetic flux through the surface as:

                                                     \Phi=B\ A\ cos\theta

We are told the values of \Phi and B, then we can calculate the magnitude

                                                      \frac{\Phi}{A}=B\ cos\theta
