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.
Answer:
a)ΔV = 6.48 KV
b)ΔU =18.79 mJ
Explanation:
Given that
E= 1.8 KV/m
a)
We know that
Electric potential difference ΔV given as
ΔV = E .d
Here
E= 1.8 KV/m
d= 3.6 m
ΔV = E .d
ΔV = 1.8 x 3.6 KV
ΔV = 6.48 KV
b)
Given that
q=+2.90 µC
Change in electric potential energy ΔU given as
ΔU = q .ΔV
ΔU =18.79 mJ
It would be 2300000 grams.
Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”
Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.
Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity. Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.
Answer: 10 m/s^2
Explanation:
1) The second law of Newton gives the definition and formula to calculate the net force:
Net force acting on an object = mass * acceleration.
2) From that, when you know the net force acting of the object and its mass, you can solve for the acceleration:
acceleration = Net force / mass
acceleration = 50 N / 5 kg = 10 m/s^2, which is the answer.
