Which change occurs when an atom undergoes alpha decay?
oee [108]
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.

Your friend turns the volume up on their speaker system, so that the sound intensity is 4 times greater than it was beforehand.
erica [24]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

We know that intensity I = P/A where P = power and A = area through which the power passes through.

Now, let the initial intensity of the speaker be I₀ and its initial power be P₀. Since the intensity is increased by a factor of 4, the new intensity be I and new power be P.

So, I = P/A and I₀ = P₀/A

Now, if I = 4I₀,

P/A = 4P₀/A

P = 4P₀

Now, energy E = Pt, where t = time. So, P = E/t and P₀ = E₀/t

Substituting P and P₀ into the equation, we have

P = 4P₀

E/t = 4E₀/t

E = 4E₀

Since the energy is four times the initial energy, the energy output increases by a factor of 4.

The resistance, R, of a wire varies directly as its length and inversely as the square of its diameter. If the resistance of a w
lbvjy [14]

R is proportional to the length of the wire:

R ∝ length

R is also proportional to the inverse square of the diameter:

R ∝ 1/diameter²

The resistance of a wire 2700ft long with a diameter of 0.26in is 9850Ω. Now let's change the shape of the wire, adding and subtracting material as we go along, such that the wire is now 2800ft and has a diameter of 0.1in.

Calculate the scale factor due to the changed length:

k₁ = 2800/2700 = 1.037

Scale factor due to changed diameter:

k₂ = 1/(0.1/0.26)² = 6.76

Multiply the original resistance by these factors to get the new resistance:

R = R₀k₁k₂

R₀ = 9850Ω, k₁ = 1.037, k₂ = 6.76

R = 9850(1.037)(6.76)

R = 69049.682Ω

Round to the nearest hundredth:

R = 69049.68Ω
