After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has ? protons.

Physics
1 answer:
Valentin [98]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has  83 protons.

Explanation:

In an alpha particle there are two protons

In the given substance's nucleus, there are total of 85 protons

After the decay, the proton number reduce

The current proton number after decay is

85 -2 = 83

After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has  83 protons.

How is the surface area of an average person is 2m^2 in the chapter pressure
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

We have to show surface area =2m^2,with few conditions that is by considering Force =200000\ N and Pressure =100000\ Pa to be respectively.

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure is =10^{5}\ Pa on Earth's surface.

The magnitude of the force exerted on a person by the atmosphere is =2\times 10^{5}\N (or)\ 200kN\ (or)\ 20\ ton.

Now to calculate surface area we can find it from pressure=\frac{force}{area} and re-arranging it to.

area=\frac{force}{pressure}

So plugging the values,

Surface area =\frac{20000}{10000}=2\ m^{2}

Hence from the above calculations we can say that surface area is 2m^2.

So the surface area of an average person can be said to have 2m^2, using the concept of pressure and force.

What is the change in potential energy if the distance separating the electron and proton is increased to 1.0 nm?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J

Explanation:

The change in potential energy can be expressed as:

Ep=K.\frac{q1.q2}{r}

where K is a constant with a value of 9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}, q1 and q2 are the charges of the proton and the electron and r is the distance between them.

The charge for the proton is +1.6*10^{-19}C and the charge for the electron is -1.6*10^{-19}C.

Converting r=1.0nm to m:

1.0nm*\frac{1*10^{-9}m}{1.0nm}=1*10^{-9}m

Replacing values:

Ep=9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}.\frac{(+1.6*10^{-19}C).(-1.6*10^{-19}C)}{1*10^{-9}m}

Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J

PLZZZZZ ANSWER Which example describes a nonrenewable resource?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

I believe that the answer is D. There are drilling platforms all along the coast that are used to drill for natural gas that can be used to generate electricity.

Explanation:

Solar panels use the sun, and that is renewable.

The power plant uses tides and waves, they are renewable.

Windmills use wind, that is renewable.

So, the answer is D.

A 221 g cart starts from rest and rolls in the right direction (positive) down an incline. The incline is at a height of 5 cm. A
Julli [10]

Answer:

1) p₀ = 0.219 kg m / s, p = 0, 2)  Δp = -0.219 kg m / s, 3) 100%

Explanation:

For the first part, which is speed just before the crash, we can use energy conservation

Initial. Highest point

            Em₀ = U = mg y

Final. Low point just before the crash

           Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          m g y = ½ m v²

           v = √ 2 g y

Let's calculate

           v = √ (2 9.8 0.05)

           v = 0.99 m / s

1) the moment before the crash is

           p₀ = m v

           p₀ = 0.221 0.99

           p₀ = 0.219 kg m / s

After the collision, the car's speed is zero, so its moment is zero.

           p = 0

2) change of momentum

           Δp = p - p₀

            Δp = 0- 0.219

            Δp = -0.219 kg m / s

3) the reason is

     Δp / p = 1

In percentage form it is 100%
