Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay. Therefore, uranium-238 will increase,decrease,stay the same or none of the above

Decrease

Explanation:

When a U-238 nuclei undergoes alpha decay, the nuclei will decrease substantially.

An alpha particle will cause a decrease in the mass number of the nuclei by 4 and the atomic number by 2.

  The reaction is shown below;

                       ²³⁸₉₂U   →  ²³⁴₉₀Th   +   ⁴₂He

We see that during an alpha decay, the mass number changes from 238 to 234 and that atomic number from 92 to 90.

A soccer ball with mass 0.450 kg is initially moving with speed 2.20 m/s. A soccer player kicks the ball, exerting a constant fo
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

0.187 m

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the acceleration of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.450 Kg

Force (F) = 38 N

Acceleration (a) =?

F = m × a

38 = 0.450 × a

Divide both side by 0.450

a = 38 / 0.450

a = 84.44 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the distance. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 2.20 m/s.

Final velocity (v) = 6 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 84.44 m/s²

Distance (s) =?

v² = u² + 2as

6² = 2.2² + (2 × 84.44 × s)

36 = 4.4 + 168.88s

Collect like terms

36 – 4.84 = 168.88s

31.52 = 168.88s

Divide both side by 168.88

s = 31.52 / 168.88

s = 0.187 m

Thus, the distance is 0.187 m

My teacher didnt explain this well and im lost
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Explanation:

(a) The given figure is a convex lens.

(b) In this figure, the object is placed between F and optical center of a lens. Convex lens is a converging lens. It converges the beam of light falling on it after reflection. The image is formed on the same side of the lens as the object.

The formed image is enlarged and it is virtual and erect.

(i) Type : virtual

(ii) Orientation : upright

(iii) Size : Enlarged

The position of an electron is given by , with t in seconds and in meters. At t = 3.99 s, what are (a) the x-component, (b) the
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

A. Vx = 3.63 m/s

B. Vy = -45.73 m/s

C. |V| = 45.87 m/s

D. θ = -85.46°

Explanation:

Given that position, r, is given as:

r = 3.63tˆi − 5.73t^2ˆj + 8.16ˆk

Velocity is the derivative of position, r:

V = dr/dt = 3.63 - 11.46t^j

A. x component of velocity, Vx = 3.63 m/s

B. y component of velocity, Vy = -11.46t

t = 3.99 secs,

Vy = - 11.46 * 3.99 = -45.73 m/s

C. Magnitude of velocity, |V| = √[(-45.73)² + 3.63²]

|V| = √(2091.2329 + 13.1769)

|V| = √(2104.4098)

|V| = 45.87 m/s

D. Angle of the velocity relative to the x axis, θ is given as:

tanθ = Vy/Vx

tanθ = -45.73/3.63

tanθ = -12.6

θ = -85.46°
