Answer:

The first equation shows the alpha decay.

₉₅Am²²⁴   →    ₉₃Np²³⁷ + ₂He⁴

Explanation:

The americium with atomic wight  224 undergo alpha decay and produce

₉₃Np²³⁷ . The alpha particle emitted is also called helium nuclei. During this decay some gamma radiations also produce as a byproduct.

₉₅Am²²⁴   →    ₉₃Np²³⁷ + ₂He⁴

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

How many years old are you if you have lived 1 billion seconds 31 years round this answer to 3 sig figs
stich3 [128]

Answer:

age = 63.2 years

Explanation:

Given data

Number of years = 31

number of seconds = 1 billion

Age = ?

Solution

First we convert seconds to minutes

minutes = 1000000000 / 60

minutes = 16666666.667

Now convert minutes to hours

hours = 16666666.667 / 60

hours = 277777.778

Now convert hours to days

days = 277777.778 / 24

days = 11574.074

Now convert days to months

months = 11574.074 / 30

months = 385.802

Now convert months to years

years = 385.803 / 12

years = 32.15

Now add these years with given years

age = 31 + 32.15

age = 63.2 years

Annie has a soccer ball and a kickball she kicks each ball with the same force the soccer ball accelerates at 3 m/s to the secon
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Because of less weight kick ball has more acceleration.

Explanation:

Acceleration of kick ball:

5 m/s

Acceleration of soccer ball:

3 m/s

Newton's second law:

According to newton's second law the acceleration of object depends upon two variables.

1) Mass of object

2) Force acting on it

Mathematical expression:

a = f/m

a = acceleration

f = force

m = mass

The force on balls are same thus the acceleration is depend upon the masses of balls.

The soccer ball has more weight that's why its acceleration is less while kick ball is lighter and thus its acceleration will more.
