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'.

An airplane engine starts from rest; and 2 seconds later, it is rotating with an angular speed of 300 rev/min. if the angular ac
elena-s [515]

First of all, we need to convert the angular speed from rev/min into rev/s:

\omega_f=300 rev/min=5 rev/s

The angular acceleration is the variation of angular speed divided by the time:

\alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}=\frac{5 rev/s-0}{2 s}=2.5 rev/s^2

And this is constant, so we can use the following equation to calculate the angle through which the engine has rotated:

\theta(t)=\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 =\frac{1}{2}(2.5 rev/s^2)(2 s)^2=5 rev

so, 5 revolutions.

7. Using Analogies Explain how the behavior
klemol [59]

The relative motion of gaseous particles increases with increase in the temperature of the gas molecules just like the motion of popcorn in a popper increases when heat is applied to the popper.

<h3>What is kinetic theory of gas?</h3>

The kinetic theory of gases or matter states that matter consists of tiny particles which are constant motion, colliding with one another and with walls of the containing vessels.

Just like a popcorn in a popcorn popper pops when heat is applied to the popper, gases contained in a cylinder increases their speed when they acquire more kinetic energy as the temperature of the cylinder increases.

Thus, the motion of gas particles depends on the temperature of the containing vessel so also does the random motion of popcorn depends on the temperature of the popper.

What is reflection? Reflection is light that has struck a surface and has __________. .
Bad White [126]
The correct answer should be bounced off since the light ray hit the surface and reflected towards a new location. It therefore bounced off.

Elena L [17]

The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one celsius degree is called a calorie.

<h3>How can you define calorie?</h3>

In physics, we can define it as a unit of measurement that defines the amount of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram  of water by 1°C. Each material has its unique calorie, however by definition we use water as it is the lowest of all the elements.

Normally, calorimetry is directly linked with the thermal capacity that an element has to contain heat.
