Answer: The atom undergoes alpha decay.
Explanation: An atom has 84 protons and 86 neutrons initially. When this atom undergoes a reaction the product obtained has 82 protons and 84 neutrons.
As the product obtained has 2 protons less and 2 neutrons less which means that the mass number is decreased by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.
The atom undergoes an alpha-decay because in this decay the particle emitted is alpha particle which has an atomic number of 2 and atomic mass of 4 units.
Equation follows:
The atom which is undergoing alpha decay is Polonium (Po) and the product formed is Lead (Pb).

Answer:
Explanation:
We shall take the help of vector form of displacement . Taking east as i and north as j
4.0m N = 4 j
7.5 m E = 7.5 i
6.8 m S = - 6.8 j
3.7 m E, = 3.7 i
3.6 m S = - 3.6 j
5.3 m W = - 5.3 i
3.7 m N, = 3.7 j
5.6 m W = - 5.6 i
4.4 m S = - 4.4 j
4.9 m W = - 4.9 i
Total displacement = 4j +7.5 i -6.8j+3.7i-3.6j-5.3i+3.7j-5.6i-4.4j-4.9i
= -4.6 i -7.1 j
magnitude of displacement =
= 8.46 m
Direction
Tanθ = 7.1/ 4.6
θ = 57⁰ south of west .
distance walked = 4+7.5 +6.8+3.7+3.6+5.3+3.7+5.6+4.4+4.9
= 49.5 m
