The complete equation is: 92238U --> 90234Th + 42He

This type of radiation is alpha decay in which an alpha particle is a Helium nucleus with 2 protons and 2 nuetrons. This nucleus/alpha particle(s) are released to stabilize the radioactive atom, in this case, the 92238Uranium.

Two objects with the same mass move with the same speed but in opposite directions. Compare their kinetic energies.
ddd [48]

Answer:

A.  Kinetic energies are equal.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the bodies will be equal since the mass and speed are the same.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

Mathematically;

           K.E  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

m is the mass

v is the speed

 The kinetic energy is a scalar quantity with no regard for direction.
