Answer: Alpha radiation

Explanation: Alpha decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha radiation, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\textrm{He}


Beta decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing beta radiation, the atomic number is increased by 1 unit.


_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}Y+_{-1}^0e


Gamma decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing gamma radiation, the mass number remains same.

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma

The orbital radius of Venus is 0.72 AU. What is this distance in kilometers? (One AU is about 150 million kilometers.)
Evgen [1.6K]
<span>The answer is D) 108 million kilometers. To solve this problem, you must perform a simple unit conversion calculation. 1 AU = 150,000,000 km is the conversion factor. Take the radius of Venus, .72 AU, and multiply it by 150,000,000 km/1 AU. You flip the conversion factor so that the units of the original distance in the numerator cancel the units in the denominator of the conversion factor. completing the calculation gives you 108,000,000 km</span>

What is the result of multiplying 2.5 times 10 to the power 10 by 3.5×10 to the power of -7
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

8.75 × 10³

Explanation:

Multiply the coefficients and the exponential terms separately; then multiply them together

2.5 × 3.5 = 8.75.

When you multiply exponential terms, you add the exponents.

10¹⁰ × 10⁻⁷ = 10⁽¹⁰⁻⁷⁾ = 10³

The product is 8.75 × 10³.

A scientific calculator does the operation automatically. The buttons may have different labels on your calculator, but the key sequence is usually something like

2.5 Exp 10 × 8.5 Exp +/- 7 = 8.75×10⁻³
