In an alpha decay, the original nucleus decays into a daughter nucleus + an alpha particle, which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
The atomic number (number of protons) of the Francium is 87, and since in the decay it loses 2 protons, the atomic number of the daughter nucleus should be 85. Looking at the periodic table ,this corresponds to Astatine, and therefore this is the element produced in the alpha decay of Francium-221.
Moreover, the mass number (number of protons+neutrons) decreases by 4 (because an alpha particle carries 2 protons+2 neutrons), therefore in the reaction the mass number will decrease from 221 to 217. 
So, the daughter element is astatine-217.

Answer: p= m/v so 90kg/.075m^3 = 1,200

2a. .35 m 1.1 m and .015 m

2b. 35 cm x 110 cm x 1.5 cm = 5,775 cm^3 = 57.75 m^3

mass= pv

2700•57.75= 155,925 kg

mass= 155,925 kg

volume= 57.75 m^3

The magnitude of a vector can never be less than the magnitude of one of its components. Group of answer choices True False
pogonyaev

Answer:

True

Explanation:

As the formula for magnitude of a vector v and their components v_1, v_2, v_3, v_4,..., v_n is

v^2 = v_1^2 + v_2^2 + ... +v_n^2

Since v_1^2, v_2^2, v_3^2, v_4^2,..., v_n^2 \geq 0, this means the sum of them, v^2, is always greater or equal to v_1^2, v_2^2, v_3^2, v_4^2,..., v_n^2
