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 mercury thermometer is constructed as
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The change in height of the mercury is approximately  2.981 cm

Explanation:

Recall that the formula for thermal expansion in volume is:

\frac{\Delta V}{V_0} =\alpha_V\, \Delta\, T\\\Delta V = V_0\,\, \alpha_V\,\,\Delta C

from which we solved for the change in volume \Delta V due to a given change in temperature \Delta T

We can estimate the initial volume of the mercury in the spherical bulb of diameter 0.24 cm ( radius R = 0.12 cm) using the formula for the volume of a sphere:

V_0=\frac{4}{3} \pi \, R^3\\V_0=\frac{4}{3} \pi \, (0.12\,cm)^3\\V_0=0.007238\,cm^3

Therefore, the change in volume with a change in temperature of 36°C becomes:

\Delta V = V_0\,\, \alpha_V\,\,\Delta C\\\Delta V = 0.007238229\, cm^3\,(0.000182)\,(36)\\\Delta V=0.0000474248\, cm^3

Now, we can use this difference in volume, to estimate the height of the cylinder of mercury with diameter 0.0045 cm (radius r= 0.00225 cm):

V_{cyl}=\pi r^2\,h\\h =\frac{V_{cyl}}{\pi r^2} \\h=\frac{0.0000474248\, cm^3}{\pi \, (0.00225\,cm)^2} \\h=2.98188 \,cm

How do you calculate the magnitude of a force?
Tamiku [17]
If the force equals, for instance, 100 Newtons then 0.866 × 100 = 86.6 Newtons. This is the magnitude of the resultant force vector on the object.

What cannot be used to dry utensils?​
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Wiping cloth

Explanation:

When the wiping cloth is used to “clean” another surface, it will contaminate it with the bacteria. To avoid bacterial growth on the wiping cloth, a wet wiping cloth must be stored in a proper sanitizing solution between uses. Provide Proper Concentration of. Sanitizing Solution for Wiping Cloths.

wiping cloth cannot be used on a surface where raw meat was cleaned, utensils, plates and other kitchen eating accessories because of it's ability to contact germs and bacteria.
