<u>Answer:</u> The alpha particle is released after alpha radiation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Alpha decay is defined as the decay process in which a heavier nucleus decays into a lighter nuclei. This decay process releases alpha particle which is also known as helium nucleus.

The general alpha decay reaction is given as:

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha$

The particle released will carry a mass of 4 units and carries a charge of +2 units.

Hence, the alpha particle is released after alpha radiation.

Using the reactivity series shown in the handbook, tell whether the following reactions

IceJOKER [234]

The possibility of metals replacing each other is dependent on the relative positions of the metals in the activity series.

The activity series is an arrangement of elements in order of decreasing reactivity. The elements that are higher in the series can displace the elements that are lower in the series.

Before we make a decision in each case, we must consider what metal is lower or higher in the series;

Between Na and K, Na is lower in the series so the answer is no
Between Co and Cu, Co is higher than Cu in the series so the answer is yes
Since Zn and Zn^2+ are just a specie and its ion, the answer is no.
Since Ba is higher than Ni, Ni can not replace Ba so the answer is no

Explain (not just list) where you observe reflection, refraction, and absorption of light in your everyday activities

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Reflection: you look in the mirror. Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke. Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .

Ben is pushing a small trolley 10 N to the north and but Gary is pushing the trolley 5 N to the south. What is the total applied

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The total applied force on the trolley is 5 N toward the North.

Explanation:

In this problem, Ben is pushing the trolley to north and Gary is pushing it to south. So both the forces are acting 180° opposite to each other. As force is a vector quantity, the net force or total force acting on any object should be calculated by vector addition of number of forces along with their directions. So in this case, if we consider the force Ben is applying as F1 and the force Gary is applying as F2 on the trolley. Then the net or total force acting on the trolley will be $F1-F2$ . This is because, F1 and F2 are acting opposite to each other in direction.Thus, $Total force acting on the trolley = 10 N - 5 N$ .

So the total force acting on the trolley is 5 N and it is toward the north direction.
