Answer: d) The atomic number decreases by 2
Explanation:
A particle alpha is He(2+)
Where we have:
A = 4
Z = 2
The atomic number, the number of protons, must be conserved:
At the beginning (before the emission) we have Z protons.
After the emission, we will have an element with an atomic number X , and an alpha particle with an atomic number = 2.
Then the total number of protons after the emission is X + 2.
The conservation equation is:
Z = X + 2
Isolating X we get:
X = Z - 2
Then after the emission, the atomic number is decreased by 2.
The correct option will be:
d) The atomic number decreases by 2
Answer:
a) Δp = -2.0 kgm / s, b) Δp = -4 kg m / s
Explanation:
In this exercise the change in moment of a ball is asked in two different cases
a) clay ball, in this case the ball sticks to the door and we have an inelastic collision where the final velocity of the ball is zero
Δp = p_f - p₀
Δp = 0 - m v₀
Δp = - 0.100 20
Δp = -2.0 kgm / s
b) in this case we have a bouncing ball, this is an elastic collision, as the gate is fixed it can be considered an object of infinite mass, therefore the final speed of the ball has the same modulus of the initial velocity, but address would count
v_f = - v₀
Δp = p_f -p₀
Δp = m v_f - m v₀
Δp = m (v_f -v₀)
Δp = 0.100 (-20 - 20)
Δp = -4 kg m / s
The normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction
<u>Explanation:</u>
As George is applying a downward force, the normal force will be in the upward direction. The normal force will be exerted due to the acceleration due to gravity exerted on the object.
So, as per Newton's second law, the normal force acting on the object can be measured by the product of mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity acting on the object.
But as the acceleration due to gravity is a downward acting acceleration and the normal force is a upward acting force, so the acceleration will be having a negative sign in the formula.
Here, acceleration due to gravity g = -10 m/s² and mass is given as 50 kg, then
Normal force = 50 × (-10) = -500 N
So, the normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction.
