The correct option is (D) Gamma ( $_0^0\gamma$ )

Explanation:
Now this question is a tricky one because all of these options are somehow involved in radioactive decay; however, in this case the SYMBOL is required NOT the elements. There are three symbols involved in radioactive decay, which are:
1. α for alpha decay
2. β for beta decay
3. γ for gamma decay

In the options only one symbol is present which is gamma. Hence option (D) Gamma ( $_0^0\gamma$ ) is the correct answer.

svetlana [45]

Let's call $m=565~g=0.565~kg$ the mass of the glider and $m_w=7\cdot12~g =84~g=0.084~kg$ the total mass of the seven washers hanging from the string.
The net force on the system is given by the weight of the hanging washers:
$F_{net} = m_w g$
For Newton's second law, this net force is equal to the product between the total mass of the system (which is $m+m_w$ ) and the acceleration a:
$F_{net}=(m+m_w)a$
So, if we equalize the two equations, we get
$m_w g = (m+m_w)a$
and from this we can find the acceleration:
$a= \frac{m_w g}{(m+m_w)} = \frac{0.084~kg \cdot 9.81~m/s^2}{(0.565~kg+0.084~kg)}=1.27~m/s^2$

If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the sum of the external torques on it

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the sum of the external torques on it must also be zero.

The net external force and the net external torque acting on the object have to be zero for an object to be in mechanical equilibrium.

Hence, the given statement is true.
