An atom undergoes nuclear decay, but its atomic number is not changed.
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

A. Gamma decay

Explanation:

A form of nuclear decay in which the atomic number is unchanged is a gamma decay.

The atom has undergone a gamma decay.

In a gamma decay, no changes occur to the mass and atomic number of the substance.

  • Gamma rays have zero atomic and mass numbers.
  • When they cause decay, they cause no change to the mass and atomic numbers.
  • They simply produce gamma rays during such reactions and these rays are very energetic.

Bob walks 370 m south, then jogs 410 m southwest, then walks 370 m in a direction 28 degrees east of north.
wlad13 [49]
We will measure all angles from West, the negative x-axis and divide the journey into 3 parts:
P1 = 370y
P2 = 410cos(45)x + 410sin(45)y = 290x + 290y
P3 = 370cos(270 - 28)x + 370sin(270 - 28) = -174x - 327y

Overall displacement:
x = 290 - 174 = 116 m
y = 370 + 290 - 327 = 333 m

displacement = √(116² + 333²)
= 353 m

Direction:
tan(∅) = y/x
∅ = tan⁻¹ (333 / 116)
∅ = 70.8° from West.
