In the alpha decay of Francium-221, what daughter element is produced? (You may need to refer to the periodic table in the lesso

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:

f = pl / (l + p)

Explanation:

1/f = 1/p + 1/l

Find the common denominator of the right hand side.

1/f = l/(pl) + p/(pl)

Add:

1/f = (l + p) / (pl)

Take the inverse of both sides:

f = pl / (l + p)

A car is traveling at a 20.0 m/s for 7.00 s and then suddenly comes to a stop over a 3 s period.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: A) Deceleration of the car is -6.6667 m/s² while it came to stop.

B) The total distance the car travels is 200 meter during the 10 s period.

Explanation:

Given Data

Initial velocity of the car ($$v_{i}$$) =   20.0 m/s

Final velocity of the car (v_{f}) = 0 m/s

Time (in motion) =7.00 s

Time (in rest) =3 s

To find - A) car's deceleration while it came to a stop

              B) the total distance the car travels in 10 s

A) The formula to find the deceleration is

Deceleration = (( final velocity - initial velocity ) ÷ Time)        (m/s²)

Deceleration = ((v_{f}) - ($$v_{i}$$)) ÷ time     (m/s²)

Deceleration =  ( 0.0 - 20 ) ÷ 3      (m/s²)

Deceleration =   (- 20) ÷ 3  (m/s²)

Deceleration   =  - 6.6667 m/s²

(NOTE : Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration so the final result must have the negative sign)

The car's deceleration is  - 6.6667 m/s² while it came to a stop

B) The formula to find the distance traveled by the car is  

Distance traveled by the car is equals to the product of the speed and time

Distance = Speed × Time  (meter)

Distance = 20.0 × 10

Distance = 200 meters

The total distance the car travels during the period of 10 s is 200 meters

We want to construct a solenoid with a resistance of 4.30 Ω and generate a magnetic field of 3.70 × 10−2 T at its center when ap
marshall27 [118]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Resistance of solenoid,R=4.3 ohm

Magnetic field,B=3.7\times 10^{-2} T

Current,I=4.6 A

Diameter of wire,d=0.5 mm=0.5\times 10^{-3} m

Radius of wire,r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{2}=0.25\times 10^{-3} m

1mm=10^{-3} m

Radius of solenoid,r'=1 cm=1\times 10^{-2} m

1 cm=10^{-2} m

Resistivity of copper,\rho=1.68\times 10^{-8}\Omega m

We know that

R=\frac{\rho l}{A}

Where A=\pi r^2

Using the formula

4.3=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}\times l}{\pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}

l=\frac{4.3\times \pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}{1.68\times 10^{-8}}=50.23 m

Number of turns of wire=\frac{l}{2\pi r'}

Number of turns of wire=\frac{50.26}{2\pi(1\times 10^{-2}}=800

Hence, the number of turns of the  solenoid,N=799

Magnetic field in solenoid,B=\mu_0 nI

3.7\times 10^{-2}=4\pi\times 10^{-7} n\times 4.6

n=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-2}}{4\times 3.14\times 10^{-7}\times 4.6}

n=6404 turns/m

n=\frac{N}{L}

L=\frac{N}{n}

L=\frac{799}{6404}

L=0.125 m=0.125\times 100=12.5 cm

Length of solenoid=12.5 cm

1m=100 cm

A fireman is sliding down a fire pole. As he speeds up, he tightens his grip on the pole, thus increasing the vertical frictiona
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The fireman will continue to descend, but with a constant speed.

Explanation:

In kinetic friction <em>(which is the case discussed here) </em>since the fireman is already in motion because of a certain force, once the frictional force matches the normal force, the fireman will stop accelerating and continue moving at a constant rate with the original speed he had. We will need a force greater than the normal force acting on the fireman to cause a deceleration.

We need to understand the difference between static friction and kinetic friction.

Static friction occurs in objects that are stationary, while kinetic friction occurs in objects that are already in motion.  

In static friction, when the frictional force matches the weight or normal force of the object, the object remains stationary.

While in kinetic friction, when the frictional force matches the normal force, the object will stop accelerating. This is the case of the fireman sliding down the pole as discussed above.

1. Give three examples, from the lab, where potential energy was converted to kinetic energy: ​
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A book on a table before it falls.

A yoyo before it is released.

A raised weight.

Explanation:

These are all examples of potential energy. So I hope you can find something that is comparable from the lab.
