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.

A 1.55-kg object hangs in equilibrium at the end of a rope (taken as massless) while a wind pushes the object with a 13.3-n hori
yarga [219]
<span>To answer this problem, we use balancing of forces: x and y components to determine the tension of the rope.


First, the vertical component of tension (Tsin theta) is equal to the weight of the object. 
 T * sin θ = mg =</span> 1.55 * 9.81 <span>
 T * sin θ = 15.2055

Second, the horizontal component of tension (t cos theta) is equal to the force of the wind. 
 T * cos θ =  13.3 

Tan θ = sin  </span>θ / cos θ = 15.2055/13.3 = 1.143
we can find θ that is equal to 48.82. 

T then is equal to 20.20 N

what is the maximum force a hammer can apply to a steel nail 2.5 mm in diameter of the nails elastic limit is not to be exceeded
natita [175]

Yield strength of mild steel is given as

Y = 250 MPa

here we know that

Y = \frac{F}{A}

250 * 10^6 = \frac{F}{\pi r^2}

now we can rearrange it as

F = \pi r^2 * 250* 10^6

here we know that

r = 1.25 mm = 1.25 * 10^{-3} m

F = \pi*(1.25*10^{-3})^2* 250* 10^6

F = 1.23 * 10^3 N

so maximum applied force will be F = 1.23 * 10^3 N

According to william james, the purpose of psychology was to ________.
masya89 [10]

According to William James, the purpose of psychology was to "study the function of behavior".

William James is known to be the first to offer a course of psychology in US. He also remains a popularly read philosopher, and his hypotheses on pragmatism have contributed both to the field of psychology and philosophy. As per James' pragmatism, the estimation of a thought is reliant upon its helpfulness in the real world as opposed to its outright truth.
