I assume this a fusion. Since a beryllium-9 is bombarded with alpha particle (2 protons and 2 neutrons), creating a heavier atom, which is carbon-12.

Answer:

Nuclear fusion

Explanation:

By definition a nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles (neutrons or protons).  

In this case the two nuclei are the nucleus of atom of beryllium-9 (which has 4 protons and 5 neutrons) and the alpha particle (which has 2 protons and 2 neutrons), their combination produce the nucleus of carbon-12 (which has 6 protons and 6 neutrons) and a neutron.

A greater applied force is required to move an object with a greater mass than one with a smaller mass.
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The bigger an object is, the more force you must apply to move the object. Think about it like moving a mouse compared to moving an elephant. You can't move the elephant by yourself, because you don't have enough strength or force to move it. But, you can easily pick up a mouse, because it requires less force, or strength. Hope this helped :)

Would this be 2N because 6 and 4 cancel out? Or no because 4 plus two is six and that cancels everything out to 0
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer: It would be 0

Explanation: Because like you said it would cancel each other out because if you are going 6N to the right and then you go 6N to the left you are actually not moving at all
