Answer:

the difference in parent nuclei and daughter nuclei is that daughter nuclei is having smaller mass number and by 4 and smaller atomic number by 2

_z^AX ----> _{z-2}^{A-4}Y + _2^4He

Explanation:

Alpha nucleus is the helium nuclei which is having 2 protons and 2 neutrons

So we will have

\alpha = _2^4He

now we know that in all radioactive decay mass number and atomic number will remain constant on product and reactant side

So we have

X ------> Y + \alpha

now by mass number conservation and atomic number conservation we have

_z^AX ----> _{z-2}^{A-4}Y + _2^4He

so the difference in parent nuclei and daughter nuclei is that daughter nuclei is having smaller mass number and by 4 and smaller atomic number by 2

Answer:

Alpha decay will produce a daughter nucleus with more protons and beta decay will produce a daughter nucleus with fewer protons than the parent nucleus has.

Heather drops a ball weighing 0.50kg a distance of 2.0m. If the speed of the ball right after it bounces is the same speed of th
ki77a [65]
The speed of the ball just before impact was v=√(2gh) = 6.26m/s.  The acceleration is twice this over the time (twice because the second speed is the same in the other direction, meaning the total change in speed is 2V)
a = 12.52/0.10 = 125.2m/s²
The force is F=ma, so F = 0.5kg·125.2m/s² = 62.6N
