Answer:

Uranium 238  

Uranium 238  → thorium-234 + α particle (He²⁺ helium nucleus)

Explanation:

A uranium-238 nucleus, which is termed the parent nucleus, experiences radioactive decay with the emission of an alpha particle to form thorium-234, which is known as the daughter nuclide by the emission of an alpha particle which is made up of to neutrons and two protons.

When nucleus of a radioactive atom decays by emitting an alpha particle, which is equivalent to a helium nucleus, to transform into a different atomic nucleus with a lesser mass (less by four)  and a reduced atomic number (reduced by two), it is said to have undergone an alpha decay or α-decay.

PLZ HELP!!! Detailed PLZ!
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Potential Energy = 294J, Kinetic Engergy = 48.02J

Explanation:

We have these formulas:

Potential Energy = mass * gravitational force * height (m) = 1 * 9.8 * 30 = 294(J)

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2 = 1/2 * 1 * 9.8^2 = 48.02 (J)

As the rock falling at an acceleration of 9.8m/s^2 which means for each second, the rock increases 9.8m/s. I think we are missing time to find the instantaneous velocity, the formula is (initial displacement - final displacement)/ (initial time - final time) which will directly give the final answer for you.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

5.1 kg

Explanation:

Its mass on the moon is 5.1 kg because mass is an intrinsic property of a material and does not change with location. Although, its weight might vary because its acceleration of gravity g is dependent on the mass M and radius r of the planet(in this case, moon) involved g = GM/r². Since weight W = mg is dependent o g, weight varies but mass remains constant.
