Alpha decay emits two protons and two neutrons
Answer:
Part a)
When spring compressed by 2 cm
H = 1.47 m
Part b)
When spring is compressed by 4 cm
H = 5.94 m
Explanation:
Part a)
As we know that the spring is compressed and released
so here spring potential energy is converted into gravitational potential energy at its maximum height
So we will have


so we have

Part b)
Similarly when spring is compressed by 4 cm
then we have


so we have

The law of conservation tells us that no mass is lost. This is true because when wood burns or turns into ash, some of it is escaped as gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor into air . If we calculate the mass of these atmospheric gases that evolved when the wood turned into ash, we would find that the total mass of all these substances including the ash is equal to the log of wood.
