Sav [38]3 years ago

Answer:

none of the above

Explanation:

The actual answer is '91 protons'. In fact, the beta decay of the thorium-234 is the following:

{}_{90}Th \rightarrow {}_{-1}e+{}_{91}Pa

where inside the nucleus of Thorium (90 protons), a neutron turns into an electron (the beta particle) + a proton. Therefore, the resulting nucleus (which is Protoactinium) has a total of 90+1 = 91 protons.

So, the correct answer would be '91 protons'.

Torque =  r x F

|F| =  mg =  60 * 10 N = 600 N ( assuming g ~ 10m/s^2)

distance of fulcrum = torque / Force = 90/600 m = .15 m.

A man wishes to pull a crate 15m across a rough floor by exerting a force of 100 N. The
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

option (E) is correct.

Explanation:

Work done is defined as the product of force and the distance in the direction of force.

force, f = 100 N

Coefficient of friction, = 0.25

distance = 15 m

So, net force F = f - friction force

F = 100 - 0.25 x m g

Work = (100 - 0.25 mg) x d cosθ

For minimum work, the angle should be maximum.

So, the value of θ is 76°.

thus, option (E) is correct.
