<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

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

r = 0.5 m

Explanation:

First we find the angular speed of the ball by using its period:

ω = θ/t

For the time period:

ω = angular speed = ?

θ = angular displacement = 2π rad

t = time period = 0.5 s

Therefore,

ω = 2π rad/0.5 s

ω = 12.56 rad/s

Now, for the radius:

v = rω

r = v/ω

where,

v = linear speed = 6.29 m/s

r = radius = ?

r = (6.29 m/s)/(12.56 rad/s)

<u>r = 0.5 m</u>

Harman [31]

Answer:

a. 1.75 Nm²/C

b. Yes.

Explanation:

a. Electric Flux is given as:

Φ = E*A*cosθ

Where E = electric flux

A = Surface area

Φ = 14 * 0.25 * cos60

Φ = 1.75 Nm²/C

b. Yes, the shape of the sheet will affect the Flux through it. This is because flux is dependent on area of the surface and the area is dependent on the shape of the surface.

Pls help :(( I need help!! Its physics! motion and forces!
Delvig [45]

Answer: Pedaling your bike : acceleration :: applying the brakes : inertia.

The reason I think this to be the answer to the analogy is because there is energy and work used in both processes (and the unit focuses on forces); gravity is constant and does not change whether one pedals or applies brakes. And I do not think it's deceleration, as deceleration tends to equate to acceleration within the physics perspective.

Edit: I should also add that since you clarified that your unit is motion and forces, Newtons 1st law is the law of inertia. The way to change an objects motion for it to slow down is by applying an additional force. That resistance the bike experiences to slow is the process of inertia. Inertia happens in order to accelerate an object (either by slowing it down, or speeding it up): i.e., the resistance to change.
