The correct options are as follows:
17. C.
Radioactive decay refers to the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by giving out radiations. The radiations emit can be in form of alpha or beta particles or gamma rays. Radioactive decay is a random process, that is, one can not predict when it would happen. Radioactive decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom decay and no longer have enough binding energy to hold the atomic sub particles together.
18. B.
Radioactive decay occurs when the nucleus no longer have enough energy to hold the sub particles in the nucleus together. This situation always occur when there are excess protons or neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. In the nucleus of an atom, two forces are usually at work, nuclear and electrostatic forces. While proton experience both of these forces, neutron only experience the nuclear force. These two forces that are in opposition bring about radioactive decay.

The problem ask to calculate the value of x if an iron taht has a mass of 21.5g and has an initial temperature of 1000.0C is submerge in Xg of a water at 20C. So the value of X is letter C. 132 g. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
The radioactive decay of unstable isotopes continually generates new energy within Earth's crust and mantle, providing the primary source of the heat that drives mantle convection. Plate tectonics can be viewed as the surface expression of mantle convection.
Consider the equation for weight:
W=mg
W is the weight, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Therefore, to calculate the weight of an object, just multiply its mass by the acc. due to gravity of the location.
The acc. due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 ms^-2, note that this number may change from place to place, for example, the acc. due to gravity on moon is only 1/6 of Earth's. (Sometimes the question provides g as 10, so make sure you check the instructions before!)
W = 1.5 x 9.81
= 14.715N (≈14.7N)
Therefore, the answer to this question is the last option (or D), 14.7N.
