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.
<span>The shortening velocity refers to the speed of the contraction from the muscle shortening while lifting a load. Maximal shortening velocity is only attained with a minimal load. With a light load, the shortening velocity is at its Maximal shortening velocity. When the weight is heavy, the speed in which the muscle lifts the weight decreases in speed at a slower velocity.</span>
Answer:
B. less
Explanation:
acceleration due to gravity on Earth, g = 9.8 m/s²
acceleration due to gravity on Moon, g = 1.6 m/s²
Given mass of the object as, m = 5 kg
Weight of an object is given as, W = mg
Weight of the object on Earth, W = 5 x 9.8 = 49 N
Weight of the object on Moon, W = 5 x 1.6 = 8 N
Therefore, the object weighs less on the moon compared to its weight on Earth.
The correct option is "B. less"
Answer:
Wave speed, frequency and wavelength in refraction
Explanation:
The diagram shows that as a wave travels into a denser medium, such as water, it slows down and the wavelength decreases. Although the wave slows down, its frequency remains the same, due to the fact that its wavelength is shorter. Hope this helps :>
Answer:
temperature change is 262.06°K
Explanation:
given data
mass = 0.07 kg
velocity = 258 m/s
to find out
what is its temperature change
solution
we know here
heat change Q is is equal to kinetic energy that is
KE = 0.5 × m× v² ...........1
here m is mass and v is velocity
KE = 0.5 × 0.07 × 258²
KE = 2329.74 J
and we know
Q = mC∆t .................2
here m is mass and ∆t is change in temperature and C is 127J/kg-K
so put here all value
2329.74 = 0.07 × 127 × ∆t
∆t = 262.06
so temperature change is 262.06°K
