Answer:

Helium nuclei is emitted during alpha decay.

Explanation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

Example:

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy

2. Which is a true statement about a zero net force?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: the correct option is A (A zero net force causes no change to an object's

motion.)

Explanation:

Force is a vector quantity that causes an object to accelerate or change velocity when pushed or pulled. While a NET FORCE can be defined as the combination of all forces acting on an object which is equally capable of accelerating the object.

When a NET FORCE is equal to zero( that is zero net force),there will be no change to an object's motion. When the net force of an object is equal to zero , it shows the object is in either static equilibrium( the objects velocity is zero) or dynamic equilibrium(where the object is moving at constant velocity). In both cases, the object remains motionless because the net forces is equal to zero.
