Which answer shows a balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of plutonium-239

Physics
1 answer:
Setler [38]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

When plutonium - 239 undergoes an alpha decay, it produces uranium - 235 in the process.

A radioactive occurs when a nuclide spontaneously disintegrates due to instability to produce lighter atoms which the release of radiation and energy.

    ²³⁹₉₄Pu    ⇒    ²³⁵₉₂U    +   ⁴₂He    +   energy

In a nuclear reaction, the mass and atomic numbers must always remain conserved. Nuclear reactions do not obey the law of conservation of matter and mass.

The mass number are the superscript before the symbol of the nuclide

The atomic number is the subscript.

The sum of the atomic number on the left hand side equals that on the right hand side. This goes for the mass number too.

Which of these is most directly related to the mass of an object?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Weight is directly related to mass, but it also
depends on the local gravity.

Acceleration is directly related to mass, but it also
depends on the net force acting on the mass.

<span> <span> </span></span>Volume is directly related to mass, but it also
depends on the density of the object or sample.

Inertia is directly related to mass, and is completely determined
by the mass.  It doesn't depend on anything else, so this may be
the best choice.

In a collision between an electron and a hydrogen atom, it is useful to select both objects as the system because which of these
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Because of the following ,it is useful to select both objects as the system during  collision between an electron and a hydrogen atom

1. The total momentum of the system does not change during the collision.

2.The forces the objects exert on each other are internal to the system and don't change the total momentum of the system.

3. During the time interval just before to just after the collision, external forces are negligible.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

a) 2seconds.

Explanation:

The period of oscillation will not change . It will still be 2seconds although the length was doubled to 8cm.

This is because the amplitude does not change oscillation time.

Which of the following is not true about electric potential energy?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

the second one

Explanation:

When a free positive charge q is accelerated by an electric field, such as shown in Figure 1, it is given kinetic energy. The process is analogous to an object being accelerated by a gravitational field. It is as if the charge is going down an electrical hill where its electric potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Let us explore the work done on a charge q by the electric field in this process, so that we may develop a definition of electric potential energy.

The electrostatic or Coulomb force is conservative, which means that the work done on q is independent of the path taken. This is exactly analogous to the gravitational force in the absence of dissipative forces such as friction. When a force is conservative, it is possible to define a potential energy associated with the force, and it is usually easier to deal with the potential energy (because it depends only on position) than to calculate the work directly.
