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.

If you throw a baseball straight up,What is its velocity at the highest point?​
sveta [45]

Answer: 52.

Explanation: Critical Thinking When a ball is thrown vertically up, it keeps going up until it hits a certain position, and then falls down. At the maximum point, the velocity is instantaneously zero.

I may or may not be a nerd lol.

Hope This Helps!!! : )

a man stands in a lift going downward with uniform velocity. he experiences a loss of weight at the start but not when lift is i
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

It is explained in the explanation section

Explanation:

When the lift starts going downwards, it will start accelerating downwards. After a while, it will start moving with a constant velocity.

Constant velocity means that acceleration is zero and so the man will not feel any weight loss.

Now, Once the lift achieves constant velocity the acceleration is zero hence he will not experience any weight loss.

However, when the lift is in uniform motion, the lift and the man will fall down with an acceleration(a) that is less than that due to gravity(g) . Thus, the man will feel an apparent weight F which is not equal to zero.

In boxing, the use of 16-ounce gloves rather than 12-ounce gloves reduces the chance of injury because the force is distributed
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Here we have assumed that increasing the mass of a glove will increase the surface area.

Injury is caused by the application of pressure at a point on the body. The application of pressure takes place via the area of the gloves. Pressure is given by

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

where

F = Force

A = Area to which the force is applied

So, a bigger glove will increase the surface area and reduce the pressure resulting in a lower chance of injury.

Hence, the statement is true.

Below is an oscilloscope trace from an AC supply. Calculate the frequency of the supply if each horizontal division represents 0
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

20 hertz of frequency produced.

Explanation:

\boxed{frequency = \frac{1}{period} }

Here we will find frequency and period should be in second, here given: 0.05 seconds

using the formula:

\boxed{frequency = \frac{1}{0.05} }

\boxed{frequency =20}

A small box is held in place against a rough vertical wall by someone pushing on it with a force directed upward at 27 ∘ above t
ycow [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Applied force, F = 18 N

Coefficient of static friction, μs = 0.4

Coefficient of kinetic friction, μs = 0.3

θ = 27°

Let N be the normal reaction of the wall acting on the block and m be the mass of block.

Resolve the components of force F.

As the block is in the horizontal equilibrium, so

F Cos 27° = N

N = 18 Cos 27° = 16.04 N

As the block does not slide so it means that the syatic friction force acting on the block balances the downwards forces acting on the block .

The force of static friction is μs x N = 0.4 x 16.04 = 6.42 N   .... (1)

The vertically downward force acting on the block is mg - F Sin 27°

                                                      = mg - 18 Sin 27° = mg - 8.172    ... (2)

Now by equating the forces from equation (1) and (2), we get

mg - 8.172 = 6.42

mg = 14.592

m x 9.8 = 14.592

m = 1.49 kg

Thus, the mass of block is 1.5 kg.
