In an alpha decay, an atom emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons: this means that during this kind of decay, the original atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons from its nucleus.
This also means that the atomic number Z of the element (the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus) decreases by 2 units in the process, while the mass number A (the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons) decreases by 4 units.
Force can alter its direction,slow or stop it you could say it can change its velocity
The magnitude of the downward acceleration of the hollow cylinder is 6m/s^2.
Z = I α
T.R =1/2 M (

)α
T.R = 1/2M 5
/4 α
T = 5Ma/8
Mg - T = Ma
Mg - 5Ma/8 = Ma
Mg= 5Ma/8 + Ma = 13Ma / 8
acceleration = 8g/13 = 6 m/s^2
The rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time changes is called its acceleration. The direction of the net force imposed on an item determines its acceleration in relation to that force. According to Newton's Second Law, the magnitude of an object's acceleration is the result of two factors working together
The size of the net balance of all external forces acting on that item is directly proportional to the magnitude of this net resultant force; the magnitude of that object's mass, depending on the materials from which it is built, is inversely related to its mass.
