Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A nuclear particle which is positively charged is known as an alpha particle. An alpha particle is emitted during a radioactive decay.

Mass of an alpha particle is similar to mass of a helium atom, that is why, a helium atom is also known as an alpha particle.

Therefore, an alpha particle is denoted as ^{4}_{2}He. That is, there are 2 protons and 2 neutrons in an alpha particle.

Thus, we can conclude that an alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.

Answer;

-Helium atom

Explanation;

-An alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.

-Alpha particle is one type of particles emitted during a radioactive decay, others being gamma and beta particles. Alpha particles are produced during the process of alpha decay.

-When an alpha particle is generated during a radioactive decay, the mass number of the radioactive particle increases by 2 while the atomic number increases by 4.

How does the experiment relate to what you've learned about submersible technology suck as submarines and ROV's?
Len [333]

Answer:

A submersible technology designed to operate the  submarines underwater.

Explanation:

We have learned about submersible technology suck as submarines and ROV's is that pumping system is used to remove water from the submarines and ROV's in order to make it lighter. A submersible is designed to push water to the surface. When a pressure switch is turned on, the impeller started to spin drawing water into the pump. The water is then pushed through the pump and brought it to the surface. Due to removal of water, the submarines and ROV's become lighter and they will come to the surface of water.
