Radon is a gas that is produced by the radioactive decay of naturally occurring heavy nuclei , such as thorium and uranium . Radon gas can be breathed into the lungs , where it can decay further . The nucleus of a radon atom has a mass of 222 u, where u is an atomic mass unit Assume that the nucleus is at rest when it decays into a polonium nucleus with mass 218 u and a helium nucleus with mass 4 u (called an alpha particle ), releasing 5.59 MeV of energy . The polonium and helium nucleus are emitted in exactly opposite directions . What are the kinetic energies of the polonium nucleus and the helium nucleus ? What we know

Ahot-air balloon is 11.0 m above the ground and rising at a speed of 7.00 m/s. a ball is thrown horizontally from the balloon basket at a speed of 9.00 m/s. ignore friction and air resistance and find the speed of the ball when it strikes the ground.

1. explain how you calculate the net force in any direction on the box. 2. suppose an upward force of 15n is added to the box. what will be the net vertical force on the box? 3. what force could be applied to the box to make the net force in the horizontal direction zero? explain. 4. suppose a force of 25n to the right is added to the box. what will be the net force to the right?
