The presence of helium gas indicates the radioactive sample is most likely decaying by α-decay, or alpha decay. α-decay is the type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits α particles. α particles are Helium nuclei. So the correct answer would be α-decay.

Zanzabum

Complete question:

Resistor is made of a very thin metal wire that is 3.2 mm long, with a diameter of 0.4 mm. What is the electric field inside this metal resistor? If the potential difference due to electric field between the two ends of the resistor is 10 V.

Answer:

The electric field inside this metal resistor is 3125 V/m

Explanation:

Given;

length of the wire, L = 3.2 mm = 3.2 x 10⁻³ m

diameter of the wire, d = 0.4 mm = 0.4 x 10⁻³ m

the potential difference due to electric field between the two ends of the resistor, V = 10 V

The electric field inside this metal resistor is given by;

ΔV = EL

where;

ΔV is change in electric potential

E = ΔV / L

E = 10 / (3.2 x 10⁻³ )

E = 3125 V/m

Therefore, the electric field inside this metal resistor is 3125 V/m

Why can't there be a number lower than absolute zero
nexus9112 [7]

Absolute zero is not about numbers.  It's about temperature, and the
motion of molecules in gases. 

You know that the temperature we feel with our skin is the result of the
average speed of all the tiny molecules zipping around or vibrating in
the solid, liquid, or gas.

The faster they're all moving, the warmer the substance feels to us. 
The slower they're all moving, the cooler the substance feels to us.

When molecules slow down to zero and lose all of their kinetic energy,
that temperature is what we call 'absolute zero' ... if they're not moving
at all, then they can't move any slower.

The sun’s___and the planet’s___keeps planets moving is___orbits.
Sauron [17]

The sun’s gravitational attraction and the planet’s inertia keeps planets moving is circular orbits.

Explanation:

The planets in the Solar System move around the Sun in a circular orbit. This motion can be explained as a combination of two effects:

1) The gravitational attraction of the Sun. The Sun exerts a force of gravitational attraction on every planet. This force is directed towards the Sun, and its magnitude is

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Sun

m is the mass of the planet

r is the distance between the Sun and the planet

This force acts as centripetal force, continuously "pulling" the planet towards the centre of its circular orbit.

2) The inertia of the planet. In fact, according to Newton's first law, an object in motion at constant velocity will continue moving at its velocity, unless acted upon an external unbalanced force. Therefore, the planet tends to continue its motion in a straight line (tangential to the circular orbit), however it turns in a circle due to the presence of the gravitational attraction of the Sun.
