Answer:

a. Mass number is the sum of number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom.

A = p + n

Charge is a unit of matter that tells how more or less the number of electrons are present as compared to number of protons in an atom. A positive charge means the atom lacks electrons.

Gamma rays are highly energetic electromagnetic rays. They have high penetrating power and are very difficult to shield owing to high energy.

b. The compete nuclear equation is:

^{210} _{89} Ac \rightarrow ^4 _2 He + ^{206} _{87}Fr

This is a alpha decay process because alpha particle which is Helium atom is being produced. Francium is being formed after alpha particle is emitted.

c. The complete nuclear reaction is:  

^{80} _{38} Sr \rightarrow ^0 _{+1}e + ^{80} _{37}Rb

This is a positron emission process where in Rubidium is being formed.

a) Their mass number is 0, the charge is 0, that is why only a thick wall of lead or concrete can protect from them.

b) Mass number is 206, charge is 87, it is an isotope of francium.

c) Mass number will remain 80, charge is 37, it is rubidium

Does a light bulb with a greater wattage have a greater brightness
Tamiku [17]
Only within the same technology. / / / If both of the bulbs you're comparing are incandescent, or both fluorescent, or both CFL, or both LED, then the one that uses more power is brighter. But a CFL with the same brightness as an incandescent bulb uses less power, and an LED bulb with the same brightness as both of those uses less power than either of them.

What are the factors that effect the strength of a frictional force???
seropon [69]

If you write down the formula for friction, you will get an answer.

Ff = u * N               Where N is a push down force that an object experiences.

                              u (mu) is a constant and has no units

It may not be accelerating and still experience friction. A is not correct.

Color and Density will not affect the frictional force. B is not so.

Buoyant forces are a different thing altogether. Generally friction has nothing to do with them. C is incorrect.

The last one is your answer. Technically mg should be the answer and not mass, but the second part is correct.

Bob is coming toward you at a speed of 75 km/hr. You throw a baseball in his direction at 75 km/hr. What does he see the ball do
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

He sees the ball coming at him at 150 km/hr.

Explanation:

In Newtonian physics, the observer would say that the velocity of the first object is the sum of the two velocities.

Due to the same direction, both velocities will be added.
