Alpha emission is the process results in a change in mass number. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is mass number?</h3>

The total number of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus is known as the mass number, often known as the atomic mass number or nucleon number.

It's about the same as the atom's atomic mass, expressed in atomic mass units.

The alpha particle is a helium nucleus with two protons and two neutrons in an alpha decay or alpha emission. The number of protons and neutrons is reduced by two as a result of this action.

The quantity of protons and neutrons is affected by gamma emission descent. Also, while electron capture has no effect on the number of neutrons, it does raise the 1 also number of protons by one.

Alpha emission is the process results in a change in mass number.

Hence option B is correct.

The energy of an onject as it is in motion is defined as?
Ivan

The energy of an object as it is in motion is defined as Kinetic energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The energy that is attained by an object when it is moving is called as Kinetic energy. It is the amount of energy that is essential for inducing an acceleration in an object and making it to displace from its idle position to the destination. When an object attains the acceleration it can have this kinetic energy until there is a change in the speed of the object with which it moves.

The forms of energy changes and it can take any form like thermal, electrical, electromagnetic,etc. Potential and kinetic energy are the two things under which these forms are energy are grouped. There can be a transferring of Kinetic energy from one object to another. The kinetic energy can also take any form of energy.

The graph is tied to the reading
AleksandrR [38]
I. Positive acceleration increases velocity. Negative acceleration decreases velocity. runner A sped up until the finish line and then slowed to a stop.

ii. Zero a acceleration implies a constant, unchanging velocity not a zero velocity. runner B achieved some velocity prior to 8s and is moving and must slow down to reach a stop.

iii. None. No aspects of this reasoning are correct. Everything she says is wrong. See iv for what/why.

iv. The sign on acceleration denotes the direction of *change in velocity* not change in direction. The sign on velocity can denote change in direction but only “forward” or “reverse” along a particular path. Cardinal direction is not indicated, generally, by the sign on velocity. It may correspond to North/South situationally but it is not an built-in feature of velocity and its sign. For example, if you are traveling with positive velocity and turn left to continue your journey you still have a positive velocity in the new direction. In fact, if you turn left again, traveling in the opposite direction as the one you started with your velocity would still be positive… in the new direction. The velocity relative to original direction could be said to be negative but that would be a confusing way to describe a journey. Maybe if you stopped the vehicle and moved in reverse, you could meaningfully say velocity was negative.
