Answer:
Gamma rays occupy the short-wavelength end of the spectrum; they can have wavelengths smaller than the nucleus of an atom. Visible light wavesare one-thousandths the width of human hair--about a million times longer than gamma rays. Radio waves, at the long-wavelength end of the spectrum, can be many meters long.
Atoms ere electrically neutral because they have equal number of protons and electrons. If an atom lose or gain one or more electrons it becomes an ion.

Option 2 is the correct answer.</h2>
Explanation:
Elastic collision means kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.
Let the mass of object be m and M.
Initial velocity object 1 be u₁, object 2 be u₂
Final velocity object 1 be v₁, object 2 be v₂
Initial momentum = m x u₁ + M x u₂ = 3 x 8 + M x 0 = 24 kgm/s
Final momentum = m x v₁ + M x v₂ = 3 x v₁ + M x 6 = 3v₁ + 6M
Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 m x u₁² + 0.5 M x u₂² = 0.5 x 3 x 8² + 0.5 x M x 0² = 96 J
Final kinetic energy = 0.5 m x v₁² + 0.5 M x v₂² = 0.5 x 3 x v₁² + 0.5 x M x 6² = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M
We have
Initial momentum = Final momentum
24 = 3v₁ + 6M
v₁ + 2M = 8
v₁ = 8 - 2M
Initial kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy
96 = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M
v₁² + 12 M = 64
Substituting v₁ = 8 - 2M
(8 - 2M)² + 12 M = 64
64 - 32M + 4M² + 12 M = 64
4M² = 20 M
M = 5 kg
Option 2 is the correct answer.
