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.

Increasing which two things would increase gravitational potential energy?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Mass and height

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

Which is represented as;

PE_g=mgh

PE_g stands for gravitational potantial energy,

m stands for mass of object,

g is the gravitational constant and

h is the height.

Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.

That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.

Which of the following statements about the nuclear strong force is true?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: 2, the nuclear strong force drops to practically nothing at large distances.

Explanation: The protons and neutrons in the nucleus share subatomic particles called pions. This exchange is what keeps the protons and neutrons stuck together in the nucleus. Despite the strong force being the strongest force, it has a very small range. This is because pions have very short lifespans. So, the strong force would have literally no effect at large distances.

Hope that helped! :)

It is rate for any motion to
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

a. stay the same for very long

Explanation:

It is rare for any motion to stay the same for a very long time. The force applied on a body causes changes in the magnitude of motion.

  • For motion to remain constant, there must not be a net force acting on the body
  • All the forces on the body must be balanced.
  • This is very hard to come by.
  • Motion changes very frequently.
