Answer:

Th-234, Pa-234

Explanation:

In alpha decay, 2 protons and 2 neutrons are lost.  So U-238 would become Th-234.

In beta decay, one neutron is turned into a proton.  So Th-234 would become Pa-234.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x component 60.85 m

y component 101.031 m

Explanation:

We have given distance r = 118 km

Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°

(a) X component of distance  is given by r_x=rcos\Theta =118\times cos58.9=118\times 0.5165=118=60.85m

(b) Y component of distance is given by r_Y=rcos\Theta =118\times sin58.9=118\times 0.8562=101.0316m

These are the x and y component of position vector

A 2.0 m tall person is standing in front of a flat vertical mirror. What minimum height must the mirror have if the person is to
dangina [55]

Answer:

100cm

Explanation:

Since the eyes are 6 cm below the top of her head, the point of incidence of the ray must be

200cm-3cm=197cm

Since the eyes are 194 cm from her feet, the point of incidence of this ray must be

194cm/2=97cm

So the lower edge of the mirror must be 97 cm from the ground and the vertical dimension of the mirror must be 197 cm - 97 cm = 100 cm, which is half the height of the person.
