Answer:

The part that completes the nuclear equation is:

           ^{221}_{87}Fr

Explanation:

<h2>A) Preliminar explanation</h2>

The <em>nuclear equation</em> represents a nuclear reaction: the change of the nucleus of an atom.

The given equation represents an actinium atom releasing an alpha particle.

This is the meaning of each part of the equation:

  • Ac is the chemical symbol of actinium
  • The superscript to the left of the chemical symbol is the mass number of the atom (number of protons plus number of neutrons). The mass number is 225.
  • The subscript to the left of the chemical symbol is the atomic number of the atom (number of protons). The atomic number is 89.

  • ^4_2He is the symbol of the alpha particle. It is an atom of helium
  • The mass number is 4
  • The atomic number is 2

<h2>B) Solution</h2>

To <em>complete the nuclear equation </em>you must do two balances: mass number balance and atomic number balance.

<u>i) Mass number balance</u>

  • 225 = A + 4 ⇒ A = 225 - 4 = 221

<u>ii) Atomic number balance</u>

  • 89 = Z + 2 ⇒ Z = 89 - 2 = 87

Therefore, the mass number of the unknown atom is 221, and the atomic number is 87.

From a periodic table, the element with atomic number 87 is francium, Fr.

Now, you have the chemical symbol, the atomic number, and the mass number of the unknown atom, which lets you to write the atom that completes the <em>nuclear equation</em>.

           ^{221}_{87}Fr

A uniform plank 8.00 m in length with mass 50.0 kg is supported at two points located 1.00 m and 5.00 m, respectively, from the
andreev551 [17]

To solve the problem it is necessary to use Newton's second law and statistical equilibrium equations.

According to Newton's second law we have to

F = mg

where,

m= mass

g = gravitational acceleration

For the balance to break, there must be a mass M located at the right end.

We will define the mass m as the mass of the body, located in an equidistant center of the corners equal to 4m.

In this way, applying the static equilibrium equations, we have to sum up torques at point B,

\sum \tau = 0

Regarding the forces we have,

3Mg-1mg=0

Re-arrange to find M,

M = \frac{m}{3}

M = \frac{50}{3}

M = 16.67Kg

Therefore the maximum additional mass you could place on the right hand end of the plank and have the plank still be at rest is 16.67Kg
