23491pa undergoes beta decay. what is the mass number of the resulting element?

234 is the mass number of the resulting element that is uranium.

Explanation:

Beta-decay is nuclear process in which a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron releasing a beta-particle. The beta particle released carries a charge of -1 units.

So, when protactinium-234 undergoes beta decay to form uranium-234 as resultant element.

The reaction can be expressed as:

234 is the mass number of the resulting element that is uranium.

a: 45.9 meters

b: 4.29 seconds

step-by-step explanation:

a: h(t)=1/2(-9.8)(3)^2+0(3)+90

h(t)=-4.9(3)^2+90

h(t)=-44.1+90

h(t)=45.9 meters

b: 0=1/2(-9.8)(t^2)+0t+90

0=-4.9t^2+90

-90=-4.9t^2

18.37=t^2

t=4.29 seconds

in the second question, the numbers aren't exact, but they're a close approximation.
