Gamma rays are waves of energy that have no charge. TRUE.
According to the article "Nuclear shapes" by Renee Lucas the nucleus's shape is mainly modified by vibrational and rotational features happening within the cell. According to the article if i read correctly "near closed shells spherical shapes prevail, while between closed shells the large number of valence nucleons in orbit with large particle angular momentum leads to nuclei with large deformations leading them to not only maintain its shape but also alloying it to work.
Answer: 0.067 s
Explanation:s = Ut + 1/2at^2
0.6 = 9t + 0.5 *10 *t^2
Where a = g =10m/s/s
Solving the quadratic equation
5t^2 + 9t - 0.6=0,
t= 0.067 s and - 1.7 s
Of which 0.067 s is a valid time
We have the equation of motion 
, where v i the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and s is the displacement
Here final velocity, v = 40m/s
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Displacement s = 2 m
Substituting 
So the baseball pitcher accelerates at 400m/
to release a ball at 40 m/s.
