<u>Answer:</u> The radiation emitted will have negligible mass number.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Radioactive decay is defined as the process in which an unstable nuclei breaks down into stable nuclei via various methods.

An isotope undergoes a radioactive decay to attain stability.

There are three types of decay process, but the process in which the emitted radiation carries a charge of -1 is beta decay.

Beta decay is defined as the decay process in which a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron.  In this decay process, beta particle is emitted. The emitted particle carries a charge of -1 units and has a mass of 0 units. The released beta particle is also known as electron.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta

Hence, the radiation emitted will have negligible mass number.

An experiment yielded the above temperature and time information. what is the freezing point of the material in this experiment
Dmitry [639]
The answer is 0 degrees Celsius (0°C). It will be where the line flat lines the first time.  The second time would be the boiling point.  An experiment yielded the above temperature and time information. The freezing point of the material in this experiment if the material is a solid at time zero is 0 degrees Celsius (0°C) .

if the forces acting upon an object are balanced, then an object must a) be moving. b) be accelerating. c) be beginning to slow
Dennis_Churaev [7]

The correct answer to the question is : D) Be moving at a constant velocity.

EXPLANATION:

As per Newton's first laws of motion, every body continues to be  at state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces acting on it.

Hence, it is the unbalanced force which changes the state of rest or motion of a body. Balanced force is responsible for keeping the body to be either in static equilibrium or in dynamic equilibrium.

As per the options given in the question, the last one is true for an object under balanced forces.
