An electron is emitted in both positive and negative beta decay, although the positive one is called positron emission.

Answer:The correct answer is an electron.

Explanation:

Beta decay : In this process, a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron. In this decay, the atomic number is increased by 1 unit.

General representation of beta decay :

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

Where as:

Alpha decay : When a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha particle. In this process, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

General representation of alpha decay :

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

Gamma decay : In this process, the unstable nuclei transformed into stable nuclei by releasing gamma rays. In this process, the mass number remains same.

General representation of gamma decay :

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

delivery ladies is Shivam noted at the thundering sound of 6 second after the lightning was seen by him​
vitfil [10]

Answer:

this is due to difference in speeds of sound and light

Explanation:

light has a speed of 3×10^8 m/s and it is seen at once because it takes negligible time due to very high speed and short distance  that is why as soon as lightning occurs we can see it . since thundering sound travels with speed of sound which is about 330  to 340 m/s in air hence it takes some time as described in question as 6 seconds

Calculate the weight of an apple of mass 100grams on Earth
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

In physics the standard unit of weight is Newton, and the standard unit of mass is the kilogram. On Earth, a 1 kg object weighs 9.8 N, so to find the weight of an object in N simply multiply the mass by 9.8 N. Or, to find the mass in kg, divide the weight by 9.8 N.
