1. Uranium-238 decays by giving off one particle, and the decay can be represented by the following nuclear equation: 92238U 902

34Th + __________.

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.

What is the acceleration of a 349 kg object that moved with a force of 750 N?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.15 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

where

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{750}{349}  \\  = 2.14899713...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.15 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

a bullet moving with a velocity of 100m/s pierce a block of wood and moves out with a velocityof 10 m/s.if the thickness of the
erma4kov [3.2K]

The emerging velocity of the bullet is <u>71 m/s.</u>

The bullet of mass <em>m</em> moving with a velocity <em>u</em>  has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed <em>v</em> when it emerges from the block.

If the block exerts a resistive force <em>F</em> on the bullet and the thickness of the block is <em>x</em> then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,

W=Fx

This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.

W=Fx=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v^2)......(1)

If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v<em>₁.</em>

Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,

F(\frac{x}{2} )=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v_1^2)......(2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v<em>₁.</em>

\frac{\frac{Fx}{2} }{Fx} =\frac{(u^2-v_1^2)}{(u^2-v^2)} \\\frac{100^2-v_1^2}{100^2-10^2} =\frac{1}{2} \\v_1^2=5050\\v_1=71.06 m/s

Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s

dedylja [7]

There are several possibilities.  Here are a few that occur to me:

--  If Point-A is the summit of Pike's Peak, he may feel somewhat
short of breath.

-- If Point-A is his grandmother's house, he may feel a great sense
of pleasant anticipation.

-- If Point-A is his office on Monday morning, then he may feel
a tightening sensation in his chest.;

-- If Point-A is his home on Friday afternoon, then he feels the
effects of a slow and steady drop in his blood pressure.

I finer point might be put to it if we had any idea of where
Point-A is, and what it represents in the grand scheme
of things.

1. Why does Earth's moon have no atmosphere
atroni [7]
1. Earth's moon has no atmosphere because the moon's gravity is too weak to hold onto gas molecules.
2. On the moon, maria are low flat plains. The word maria comes from the Latin word mare, which means sea.

An action force is 40 N to the right. The reaction force must be: A. 20 N left B. 40 N left C. 20 N right D. 40 N right
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B.

Explanation:

To answer this question, we must remember the third law of motion of Newton that states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Then, if the action force is 40 N to the right, the reaction force must be 40 N to the left.
