Answer:

alpha

Explanation:

As unstable nuclei breaks into some other nuclei in order to attain stability. We will have three type of nuclei decay as following

1). Alpha Decay = it is positively charged high speed helium nuclei which will have energy in form of kinetic energy. Since these are heavy nuclei so penetration power of them is small and they are positively charged

2) Beta Decay = In this type of decay we will have negatively charged electrons released by the unstable nuclei and they move with high energy as they are of lesser mass. Penetration power of beta is more than alpha

3) Gamma Decay = It is neutral and massless photons which contains high energy. Penetration power of gamma is highest among all.

So here as we know that radiation particle is deflected towards negative terminal so it must be a positive particle so here correct answer must be

alpha

The correct answer would be the first option. Based on the given description above, the type of radiation that is being emitted is ALPHA RADIATION. Alpha radiation is the type of radiation having the lowest penetrative power. Take note that <span>Gamma is stronger than Beta is stronger than Alpha. Hope this answer helps. Have a great day!</span>

Air (14.5 lb) undergoes a polytropic process in a closed system from p1 = 80 lbf/in2, υ1 = 4 ft3/lb to a final state where p2 =
Yanka [14]
The energy transfer in terms of work has the equation:

W = mΔ(PV)

To be consistent with units, let's convert them first as follows:

P₁ = 80 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/9 lbf/ft²
P₂ = 20 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/36 lbf/ft²
V₁ = 4 ft³/lbm
V₂ = 11 ft³/lbm

W = m(P₂V₂ - P₁V₁)
W = (14.5 lbm)[(5/36 lbf/ft²)(4 ft³/lbm) - (5/9 lbf/ft²)(11 lbm/ft³)]
W = -80.556 ft·lbf

In 1 Btu, there is 779 ft·lbf. Thus, work in Btu is:
W = -80.556 ft·lbf(1 Btu/779 ft·lbf)
<em>W = -0.1034 BTU</em>
