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.
Given that,
Time = 0.5 s
Acceleration = 10 m/s²
(I). We need to calculate the speed of apple
Using equation of motion

Where, v = speed
u = initial speed
a = acceleration
t = time
Put the value into the formula


(III). We need to calculate the height of the branch of the tree from the ground
Using equation of motion

Put the value into the formula


(II). We need to calculate the average velocity during 0.5 sec
Using formula of average velocity


Where,
= final position
= initial position
Put the value into the formula


Hence, (I). The speed of apple is 5 m/s.
(II). The average velocity during 0.5 sec is 2.5 m/s
(III). The height of the branch of the tree from the ground is 1.25 m.
Answer:
4.71 eV
Explanation:
For an electromagnetic wave with wavelength

the energy of the photons in the wave is given by

where h is the Planck constant and c the speed of light. Therefore, this is the minimum energy that a photon should have in order to extract a photoelectron from the copper surface.
The work function of a metal is the minimum energy required by the incident light in order to extract photoelectrons from the metal's surface. Therefore, the work function corresponds to the energy we found previously. By converting it into electronvolts, we find:

Answer:
471 N
Explanation:
Weight is just another word for the force of gravity.
Weight is a force that acts at all times on all objects near Earth. The Earth pulls on all objects with a force of gravity downward toward the center of the Earth (g-9.81 m/s2)
so we can simply say
weight =mass * gravitaitonal acceleraition
= 48 * 9.81
=470.88 N
= 471 N
Answer:
No, some energy will be dissipated energy due to work of air resistance.
