Answer is "C"

alpha decay is an emission of ₂⁴He nucleus. If an element undergoes an alpha decay, the mass of the daughter nucleus formed is reduced by 4 compared to mass of parent atom and atomic number is reduced by 2 compared to atomic number of parent atom.

The law of conservation of energy has not been broken, provided energy is released from the fission process.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

The law states that the total energy of a process is conserved. That is, the total energy or mass of a system before and after undergoing processing remains the same. However, some of the mass/energy can be converted to another form.

When a material undergoes fission, the sum total of the mass of the particles formed should be equal to the mass of the starting materials, provided that all other things remain the same.

However, if energy is released from the fission process, it means that some of the mass of the starting materials has been converted to energy and released to the environment.

Shtirlitz [24]
The balloon has traveled 30 meters up from the bicyclist and since it's rising 5 meters per second, 2 seconds later it will travel 10 meters higher. 2 seconds later the bicyclist will travel 20 meters away.   so 10+20+30= 60 meters away from each other.
