Answer: The atom undergoes alpha decay.

Explanation: An atom has 84 protons and 86 neutrons initially. When this atom undergoes a reaction the product obtained has 82 protons and 84 neutrons.

As the product obtained has 2 protons less and 2 neutrons less which means that the mass number is decreased by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

The atom undergoes an alpha-decay because in this decay the particle emitted is alpha particle which has an atomic number of 2 and atomic mass of 4 units.

Equation follows:

_{84}^{170}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{82}^{166}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha

The atom which is undergoing alpha decay is Polonium (Po) and the product formed is Lead (Pb).

Plan an experiment to measure the ideal mechanical advantage of a three-hole punch. (a) What materials would you need? (b) What
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

A) Three hole punch and either a layered plastic or paper

B) Identify the lengths involved  ,

  Length of input arm / length of output arm = L1/ L2

Explanation:

<u>a) Materials involved includes :</u>

Three hole punch and either a layered plastic or paper

Identify the forces acting on the three-hole punch which are Input and output forces

Identify the points where they act

<u>B) procedures involved </u>

The mechanical advantage = output force / input force

step one:  Identify the lengths involved

assuming no friction or relatively small friction \

mechanical advantage can be calculated as : Length of input arm / length of output arm = L1/ L2

Anybody know these ?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

1. a) 72 N.

2. a) 2 m/s².

Explanation:

Given the following data;

1. Mass = 90kg

Acceleration = 0.8 m/s²

To find the force;

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 90 * 0.8

Force = 72 Newton.

2. Mass = 50kg

Force = 100N

To find the magnitude of acceleration;

Acceleration = force/mass

Acceleration = 100/50

Acceleration = 2 m/s²

As part
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Part a)

a = 3.68 m/s^2

Part b)

a = 11.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Part a)

For force conditions of two blocks we will have

m_1g - T = m_1 a

T - m_2g = m_2 a

now from above equations we have

(m_1 - m_2) g = (m_1 + m_2) a

a = \frac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2} g

now we know that

m_1 = \frac{908}{9.8} = 92.65 kg

m_2 = \frac{412}{9.8} = 42 kg

now from above equation we have

a = \frac{92.65 - 42}{92.65 + 42}(9.8)

a = 3.68 m/s^2

Part b)

When heavier block is removed and F = 908 N is applied at the end of the string then we have

F - mg = ma

908 - 412 = 42 a

a = 11.8 m/s^2

1. Driving at slower speeds than traffic flow _____________ .
r-ruslan [8.4K]

<u>The correct option is (D). The strength of electric field depends on the amount of charge that produces the field as well as the distance from the charge. </u>

<u> </u>

Further Explanation:

The electric field intensity at a point is the measure of the force exerted by a charge particle on another charge particle in the particular area of its strength.

The electric field intensity at a distance d due to a static charge having charge q is directly proportional to the amount of charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The Electric field intensity due to a charge is given as:

E = \dfrac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{q}{{{r^2}}}

Here, E is the electric field intensity, q is the amount of charge and r is the distance of the charge from the point.

The above expression of electric field shows that the electric field intensity at a point depends on the amount of charge as well as the distance of the point from the charge.

<u>Thus, the correct option is (D). The strength of electric field depends on the amount of charge that produces the field as well as the distance from the charge. </u>
