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.

Suppose a ball had a potential energy of 5 J when you dropped it.What would be it’s kinetic energy just as it hit the ground?
timama [110]

Answer:

Due to Conservation of Energy just as the ball hits the ground it's potential energy is assumed zero

Therefore disregarding air resistance all energy is converted into potential energy.

So KE = PE  

(5 J)

What is the equivalent resistance of a circuit that contains four 75.0 resistors connected in parallel with a 100.0 V battery?
zhannawk [14.2K]
To get the total resistance in a parallel circuit, you need to remember that unlike in a series, you do not just merely add the resistances. You need to get the reciprocal first of each resistance and add them together. 

\frac{1}{R_{T}} =  \frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\frac{1}{R_{3}}... +\frac{1}{R_{n}}

After adding them, you will get the reciprocal again and then compute for the value. The problem says that there are 4 resistors in the circuit that have a resistance of 75.

\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{75}+\frac{1}{75}+\frac{1}{75}+\frac{1}{75}

Add up the numerator and copy the denominator:

\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{4}{75}

Then get the reciprocal to get the total resistance:

R _{T} = \frac{75}{4}  = 18.75

The answer to your question then is A. 18.8.
