The sun <u><em>appears</em></u> brighter than any other star.
(It isn't really, but it looks that way because it's much much much much much much closer to us than any other star.)

Answer: x=125m, y=48.308m</h2>
Explanation:
This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which we have two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations to find the position as follows:
x-component:
(1)
Where:
is the projectile's initial speed
is the angle
is the time since the projectile is launched until it strikes the target
is the final horizontal position of the projectile (the value we want to find)
y-component:
(2)
Where:
is the initial height of the projectile (we are told it was launched at ground level)
is the final height of the projectile (the value we want to find)
is the acceleration due gravity
Having this clear, let's begin with x (1):
(3)
(4) This is the horizontal final position of the projectile
For y (2):
(5)
(6) This is the vertical final position of the projectile
In an alpha decay, an atom emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons: this means that during this kind of decay, the original atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons from its nucleus.
This also means that the atomic number Z of the element (the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus) decreases by 2 units in the process, while the mass number A (the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons) decreases by 4 units.
Weight doesn't really mean much as it just means gravity the bigger a space object is the more force it has to pull on something since the moon is smaller than the earth then it has less gravity and then less weight on scales.
