The Olympic sport of curling is one that is practically designed to show Physics in motion. Curling is a sport in which two teams alternate sliding smoothed stone pucks down an ice rink court with the intent to seat their stone closest to the center of the target (called the house). Each team has eight stones, meaning that the team that goes second has the (could be) massive advantage of sending the last stone.
The mass of the stone is important in that the more massive a stone (m) and the speed at which it travels (v) dictates it's momentum (momentum=mxv). As the curling stone slides down the ice (which is relatively frictionless unless acted upon by other players or objects) and having inertia, continues in it's straight course (again, unless acted upon by outside forces). If the stone hits another stone, it transfers some of its momentum in an elastic collision to that stone and the original stone is deflected in a calculable manner.
Collisions are used in the game to either clear opponent's stones from the house or out of their defensive positions, or to make adjustments to one's stones present in the house, all based on the momentum of the moving stone, and its transference.
<span>Balanced nuclear reaction: 234/91 Pa → 4/2 He + 230/89 Ac.
1) number of protons and neutrons on both side of nuclear reaction must be the same. There are 91 protons (atomic number) and 143 neutrons (mass number - atomic number, 234 - 91 = 143 or (4-2) + (230 - 89) = 143)) on both side of reaction.
2) a</span>lpha
decay is radioactive decay<span> in which
an atomic nucleus emits
an alpha particle (helium
nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic
number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four, so atomic mass of new element is 89 (91 - 2) and mass number is 230 (234 - 4 = 230).
3) look at atomic number, element with atomic number 89 is actinium.</span>
Idk really but i hope you figure out the answer im not on that yet.

Answer:
5 electrons
Explanation:
When an atom loses are gain the electrons ions are formed.
There are two types of ions.
Anion
Cation
1 = Anion
It is formed when an atom gain the electrons. when atom gain electron negative charge is created on atom. For example.
X + e⁻ → X⁻
2= Cation
It is formed when an atom loses the electrons. when atom lose electron positive charge is created on atom. For example.
X → X⁺ + e⁻
When an atom loses three electrons +3 charge is created. If this atom have 8 protons it means there were 8 electrons too. When it lost three electrons then remaining number of electrons are 5.
X → X³⁺ + 3e⁻
