4 0

Answer:

a) The atomic number decreases by 2 units

b) the atomic mass decreases by 4 units

Explanation:

An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, which is why it is made up of two positive protons and two negative neutrons, the mass of the particles is almost the same.

a) The atomic number decreases by 2 units

b) the atomic mass decreases by 4 units

A 12 v automobile battery is connected to an electric starter motor. the current through the motor is 206
vampirchik [111]
Power = (voltage) x (current). The motor consumes (12)x(206)=2,472 watts. Some of it is dissipated as heat, but most of it is used to do useful work by turning the engine over to make it start.

when a temparature of a coin is 75°C, the coin's diameter increases. if the original diameter of a coin is 1.8*10^-2 m and its c
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

ΔD = 2.29 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

This is a problem of thermal expansion, if the temperature changes are not very large we can use the relation

          ΔA = 2α A ΔT

the area is

         A = π r² = π D² / 4

we substitute

         ΔA = 2α π D² ΔT/4

as they do not indicate the initial temperature, we assume that ΔT = 75ºC

    α = 1.7 10⁻⁵ ºC⁻¹

we calculate

          ΔA = 2 1.7 10⁻⁵ pi (1.8 10⁻²) ² 75/4

          ΔA = 6.49 10⁻⁷ m²

by definition

           ΔA = A_f- A₀

           A_f = ΔA + A₀

           A_f = 6.49 10⁻⁷ + π (1.8 10⁻²)² / 4

           A_f = 6.49 10⁻⁷ + 2.544 10⁻⁴

           A_f = 2,551 10⁻⁴ m²

the area is

           A_f = π D_f² / 4

           A_f = \sqrt{4  A_f /\pi }

           D_f = \sqrt{4 \ 2.551 10^{-4} /\pi }

           D_f = 1.80229 10⁻² m

the change in diameter is

           ΔD = D_f - D₀

           ΔD = (1.80229 - 1.8) 10⁻² m

           ΔD = 0.00229 10⁻² m

           ΔD = 2.29 10⁻⁵ m

As an object increases its speed, its kinetic energy
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion--so the overall energy of that object would increase. Kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the square of its speed.

Which step of the scientific method is the scientist using? "This paper details my results on how dolphins use sonar to navigate
Kazeer [188]

The step of the scientific method with the information "This paper details my results on how dolphins use sonar to navigate." is: D. Report Results​.

Science can be defined as a branch of intellectual and practical study that systematically observes a body of fact with respect to the structure and behavior of both living and non-living organisms in the natural world through experiments.

Some of the steps (activities or actions) that a scientist performs (carries out) while using a scientific method include the following:

  • Analyze data and draw conclusions.
  • Observation.
  • Experimentation.
  • Report results.

The results of an experiment provide the necessary data and information about the specimen which was used in the course of conducting an experiment.

Hence, a report result would convey these information to the user (reader) of scientific method proposed by a scientist.

In conclusion, a paper which details the results on how dolphins use sonar to navigate is considered a report of the results.
