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.

saw5 [17]

Answer:

FORCE - rate of change of momentum, ie its changing velocity [change in velocity is of more concern] NEWTON

WORK - product of force and displacement, ie [velocity may be constant or variable but change in position with certain force is of more concern] JOULES

I hope you understood from this..

Which is more reliable—using a manual stop watch or using light gates?<br> Explain.
Kitty [74]
Light gates are more reliable. When using a manual stop watch, it is difficult to stop it at an exact time. A light gate is able to detect when an object passes through a 'gate' with the infrared transmitter and receiver.

Which is the phase change in which a substance changes from a gas to liquid?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Condensation

Explanation:

The phase change in which a substance changes from a gas to liquid is Condensation.

There are  3 natural states of matter;

Solids, Liquids, and Gases.

Matter under certain conditions can change from one state to another. When Solids are heated they change into Liquids through the process of Heating. Upon cooling, the Liquids convert to Solid through freezing. When a Liquid such as water is heated, it converts into the Gaseous state through evaporation. Upon cooling, the Gas converts back into the Liquid state through Condensation.

Two speakers emit the same sound wave, identical frequency, wavelength, and amplitude. What other quantity would be necessary to
Komok [63]

Answer:

Phase Difference

Explanation:

When the sound waves have same wavelength, frequency and amplitude we just need the phase difference between them at a particular location to determine whether the waves are in constructive interference or destructive interference.

Interference is a phenomenon in which there is superposition of two coherent waves at a particular location in the medium of propagation.

When the waves are in constructive interference then we get a resultant wave of maximum amplitude and vice-versa in case of destructive interference.

  • For constructive interference the waves must have either no phase difference or a phase difference of nλ, where n is any natural number.
  • For destructive interference the waves must have a phase difference of n×0.5λ, where n is any odd number.
