Answer:

A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an electron.

Explanation:

In an atom, nuclei contain protons and neutrons, which are the fundamental particles of an atom. Neutrons are stable and uncharged particles inside a nucleus.

For 15 times during its lifetime, a free neutron decays and breaks down into more smaller particles.This breakdown causes problems in nuclear reactors, as they start decaying and emit radiations of different wavelengths.

A neutron undergoes the decaying process to produce an electron, a proton, and energy.

The reaction of neutron decay:

  n0 → p+ + e− + νe

FrozenT [24]

Answer: 39.2 m/s

Explanation:

You can use the kinematic equation:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2a*d

We know the final velocity because it says it came to a stop. So now all we gotta do is plug in.

0^2=v_i^2+2(-10)(76.7)\\v_i^2=1,534\\v_i=\sqrt{1534} \\=39.166 m/s

marin [14]
Based on the physics principle of conservation of energy, this radiation budget represents the accounting of the balance between incoming radiation, which is almost entirely solar radiation, and outgoing radiation, which is partly reflected solar radiation and partly radiation emitted from the Earth system, including the atmosphere.
