The radioactive decay is shown in the image attached to this answer

Answer:

Alpha

Explanation:

An alpha decay is said to have occurred when the mass number of the daughter nucleus decreases by four units and the atomic number of the daughter nucleus decreases by two units.

If we look at the equation from left to right, we will notice that the mass number of the daughter nucleus decreased by four units and the atomic of the daughter nucleus number by two units compared to that of the parent nucleus leading to the emission of an alpha particle.

In three to five sentences, identify the acid, base, conjugate acid, and conjugate base. Use patterns in the periodic table to e

Oliga [24]

A conjugate acid is formed from the base by accepting a proton from the acid .

A conjugate base is obtained from the Brownstead - Lowry acid when it looses a proton while the conjugate acid is obtained from the Brownstead - Lowry base when it accepts a proton. In the Brownstead - Lowry sense, acid base reaction involves the loss or gain of a proton.

Consider the hypothetical reaction; AH + :B ⇄ BH + :A. The specie BH is the conjugate acid while the specie :B is the Brownstead - Lowry base . The specie :A is the conjugate base while the specie AH is the Brownstead - Lowry acid.

A fighter bomber is making a bombing run flying horizontally at 500 knots (256m/s) at an altitude of 100.0m.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

(a) t = 4.52 sec

(b) X = 1,156.49 m

Explanation:

Horizontal Launching

If an object is launched horizontally, its initial speed is zero in the y-coordinate and the horizontal component of the velocity $v_o$ remains the same in time. The distance x is computed as .

$\displaystyle x=v_o.t$

(a)

The vertical component of the velocity $v_y$ starts from zero and gradually starts to increase due to the acceleration of gravity as follows

$v_y=gt$

This means the vertical height is computed by

$\displaystyle h=h_o-\frac{gt^2}{2}$

Where $h_o$ is the initial height. Our fighter bomber is 100 m high, so we can compute the time the bomb needs to reach the ground by solving the above equation for t knowing h=0

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h_o}{g}}$

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2(100)}{9.8}}=4.52\ sec$

(b)

We now compute the horizontal distance knowing $v_o=256\ m/s$

$\displaystyle x=(256).(4.52)$

$X=1,156.49\ m$

Whenever a musician plays a guitar, they pluck one of the guitar strings to produce a standing wave in the string. Then pinch do

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

It's due to the distance from either ends of strings origin...

Explanation:

As we know that waves behave moving in a flow from one side to another side and this gives a prospective of motion. Suppose a wave is pinched from the near one end of a guitar then due to the distortion created by the point of tie of strings the wave super imposes and moves with a velocity v and produces a wave frequency f. as we the pinching go down to the center the wave stabilizes itself to a stationary origin right at the center and the frequency then changes accordingly as moving down on the string.

You are directed to set up an experiment in which you drop, from shoulder height, objects with similar surface areas but differe

tangare [24]

Answer: c. they will hit the ground at the same time

Explanation:

The volume of both objects is almost the same, so the force of friction will be the same in each one, so we can discard it.

Now, when yo drop an object, the acceleration of the object is always g = 9.8m/s^2 downwards, independent of the mass of the object.

So if you drop two objects with the same volume but different mass, because the acceleration is the same for both of them, they will hit the ground at the same time, this means that the density of the object has no impact in how much time the object needs to reach the floor.

So the correct option is c

A spring has been compressed inside a toy what kind of energy is this

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Elastic Potential Energy

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy (“Spring Energy”) is the form of energy an object has when it is stretched, compressed, twisted, bent, or otherwise has its shape changed as long as the object resists and will try to return to its original state.
