<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) positively charged

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Let's take the scenario step by step

(i) Carbon-10 with 6 protons and 4 neutrons. i.e

¹⁰₆C

(ii) Undergoes a radioactive beta decay (β) decay to form Boron-10 with 5 protons and 5 neutrons ¹⁰₅B as follows;

¹⁰₆C  =>  ¹⁰₅B + β   -----------------------(i)

<em>Remember that;</em>

β decay can either be β- or β+

Where;

β -   =   ⁰₋₁ e⁻ (called electron and is negatively charged)

β +  =   ⁰₁ e⁺ (called positron and is positively charged)

Now, to balance the equation (i) above, β+ has to be used as follows;

¹⁰₆C =>  ¹⁰₅B + ⁰₁ e⁺

Therefore, the additional particle produced during this decay is ⁰₁ e⁺ (called positron and is positively charged)

Answer:

Positively charged particle

Explanation:

¹⁰₆C → ¹⁰₅B + e⁺ + ve

Since there is a decrease in the atomic number, there has been nuclear transmutation and a proton has be broken into a neutron and positron with the release of neutrino which has zero charge and very small mass. This is a beta plus decay with the release of Positively charged particle

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

When a rockets thrusters push on the ground the ground pushes back on the rocket with equal force in the opposite direction. Hence the rocket takes off.

Newtons third law of motion states, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Charge: A piece of plastic has a net charge of +2.00 μC. How many more protons than electrons does this piece of plastic have? (
snow_lady [41]

Answer

given,

net charge = +2.00 μC

we know,

1 coulomb charge =  6.28 x 10¹⁸electrons

1 micro coulomb  charge =  6.28 x 10¹⁸ x 10⁻⁶ electron

                                         = 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

2.00 μC = 2 x 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

              = 1.256 x 10¹³ electrons

since net charge is positive.

The number of protons should be 1.256 x 10¹³ more than electrons.

hence, +2.00 μC have 1.256 x 10¹³ more protons than electrons.
