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).

garik1379 [7]
An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced using the current. The simplest form of an electromagnet is a wire wrapped around in a coil.
The strength of magnetic field of such magnet is given with this equation:
B=\frac{NI\mu}{L}
Where N is the number of loops in the coil, I is the strength of the current flowing through the coil, L is the length of the coil, and \mu is <span>permeability of the electromagnet core material.
From this equation, we can see that increasing both the current and number of loops will increase the strength of the magnet.
Both BLANKS should be Increase. When you use the additional battery you will have more voltage and more voltage means more electricity.</span>

Which example provides the most complete description of an object's motion?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The hiker followed a road heading north for 2 miles in 30 minutes.

Explanation:

In order to describe the motion of an object, distance covered and time taken must be required. The total path covered by an object is called the distance travelled.

The hiker followed a road heading north for 2 miles in 30 minutes. This describes the motion of hiker. The motion shows how fast the hiker is moving.  

Distance, d = 2 miles = 3218.6 m

times, t = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

So, we can say that the hiker is moving with a speed of 1.78 m/s in north direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

how could you prove to a skeptic that the beats are an interference effect that requires both sound sources? test out your metho
podryga [215]

Beats are interference patterns between two tones of different frequencies. To prove the skeptic first, play the recorded audio as there are no beats in it. Now take two sound sources with different frequencies. When both sources are turned on, we hear notes that rise and fall at equal intervals. That's what's called beats.

A frequency beat occurs when two waves with different frequencies overlap, causing alternating cycles of constructive and destructive interference between the waves.

When we tap the table with our finger, then put our ear to the table, and tap the table surface as far as 30 cm from our ear. Then the sound of beats on the table will sound louder when we put our ears on the table. So, it can be concluded that solid objects can conduct sound better than air. This is because the molecules or particles of solid objects are denser than air.

A robot is on the surface of Mars. The angle of depression from a camera in the robot to a rock on the surface of Mars is 13.69
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The distance between the camera and the rock is 836.6 cm

Explanation:

A right triangle is formed where the hypotenuse (h) is the distance between the rock and the camera. One of the leg (l) is the distance between the camera and the surface. The angle between the hypotenuse and this leg is α = 90° - 13.69° = 76.31°. By definition:

cos α = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(76.31) = 198.0/h

h = 198.0/cos(76.31)

h = 836.6 cm
