Which answer shows a balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of plutonium-239

Physics
1 answer:
Sergio [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus, it contains gwo protons and two neutrons. So, alpha decay, giving off an alpha particle, does the following:

1)reduces the atomic number (number of just protons) by two. Plutonium has atomic number of 94, take two protons away and you are left with 92 which corresponds to uranium.

2) reduces the mass number (protons plus neutrons) by 4. If you start with 239 and subtract two protons and two neutrons, you are left with 235.

Difference between good and bad conductors of heat​
uranmaximum [27]

Good conductors are the materials which allow electricity to pass through them easily whereas, bad conductors are the materials which do not allow electricity to pass through them. Good conductors offer less resistance to the flow of current, whereas the bad conductors do not transmit current through them.

Interactive LearningWare 4.1 reviews the approach taken in problems such as this one. A 1800-kg car is traveling with a speed of
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

F= 4788 N

Explanation:

Because the car moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula:

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (1)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

v₀: initial speed in m/s    

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data

d=36.9 m

v₀=14.0 m/s m/s    

vf= 0  

Calculating of the acceleration of the car

We replace dta in the formula (1)

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d

(0)²=(14)²+2*a*(36.9)

-(14)²= (73.8) *a

a= - (196) /  (73.8)

a= - 2.66 m/s²

Newton's second law of the car in direction  horizontal (x):

∑Fx = m*ax Formula (2)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in direction x-axis (N)

m : mass (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

Data

m=1800 Fkg

a= - 2.66 m/s²

Magnitude of the horizontal net force (F) that is required to bring the car to a halt in a distance of 36.9 m :

We replace data in the formula (2)

-F= (1800 kg) * ( -2.66 m/s² )

F= 4788 N

Kinematics practice problems Answers: 4. A race car is traveling at +76 m/s when is slows down at -9 m/s2 for 4
arlik [135]

The new velocity after 4 s is 40 m/s

The height of the spaceship above the ground after 5 seconds is 1,127.5 m

The given parameters for the first question;

  • initial velocity of the car, u = 76 m/s
  • acceleration of the car, a = - 9 m/s²
  • time of motion, t = 4 s

The new velocity after 4 s is calculated as;

v = u + at

v = 76 + (-9)(4)

v = 76 - 36

v = 40 m/s

(5)

The given parameters;

  • height above the ground, h = 500 m
  • velocity of spaceship, u = 150 m/s
  • time of motion, t = 5

The height of the spaceship above the ground after 5 seconds is calculated as;

h_y = h_0 + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\h_y = 500 + (150\times 5) -  (0.5\times 9.8 \times 5^2)\\\\h_y = 1,127.5 \ m

Un Esquiador Inicia un Salto Horizontal con una velocidad Inicial de 25 m/s. La Altura al Final de la Rampa es de 80 m del punto
Evgesh-ka [11]

Responder:

Explicación:

Para que podamos calcular el tiempo que le tomará al esquiador permanecer en el aire, encontraremos el tiempo de vuelo como se muestra;

T = 2Usin theta / 2

theta = 90 grados

U = 25 m / s

T = 25sin90 / 2 (9,8)

T = 25 / 19,62

T = 1,27 segundos

Por lo tanto, los cielos usarán 1.27 segundos en el aire.

La distancia horizontal es el rango;

Rango R = U√2H / g

R = 25√2 (80) /9,8

R = 25√160 / 9,8

R = 25 * √16,326

R = 25 * 4.04

R = 101,02 m

Por tanto, la distancia horizontal recorrida por el esquiador es 101,02 m
