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.

It takes a minimum distance of 57.46 m to stop a car moving at 13.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass
vivado [14]

Answer:

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

Explanation:

We know by equation of motion that,

v^{2}=u^{2}+2\cdot a \cdot s

Where, v= final velocity m/sec

u=initial velocity m/sec

a=Acceleration m/Sec^{2}

s= Distance traveled before stop m

Case 1

u=  13 m/sec, v=0, s= 57.46 m, a=?

0^{2} = 13^{2}  + 2 \cdot a \cdot57.46

a = -1.47 m/Sec^{2} (a is negative since final velocity is less then initial velocity)

Case 2

u=29 m/sec, v=0, s= ?, a=-1.47 m/Sec^{2} (since same friction force is applied)

v^{2} = 29^{2}  - 2 \cdot 1.47 \cdot S

s = 285.94 m

Hence the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

A 3600 kg rocket traveling at 2900 m/s is moving freely through space on a journey to the moon. The ground controllers find that
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

m=417.24 kg

Explanation:  

Given Data

Initial mass of rocket  M = 3600 Kg

Initial velocity of rocket vi = 2900 m/s  

velocity of gas vg = 4300  m/s

Θ = 11° angle in degrees

To find

m = mass of gas  

Solution

Let m = mass of gas    

first to find Initial speed with angle given

So

Vi=vi×tanΘ...............tan angle

Vi= 2900m/s × tan (11°)

Vi=563.7 m/s

Now to find mass

m = (M ×vi ×tanΘ)/( vg + vi tanΘ)

put the values as we have already solve vi ×tanΘ

m = (3600 kg ×563.7m/s)/(4300 m/s + 563.7 m/s)

m=417.24 kg
