Answer:

a series of decays producing sequentially more stable nuclei

Explanation:

A nuclear decay chain represents a series of decays producing sequentially more stable nuclei.

For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures the stability of the nucleus.
Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio (i.e either too many neutrons or too many protons) will be unstable and split into one or more other nuclei with the attendant emission of small particles of matter.
The decay process is a continuous chain reaction steps.
Until stability of the nucleus is attain, it continues.

Cloud Formation Due to Surface Heating. Some cloudsform due to the heating of the Earth's surface. First, the Sunheats the ground, which then heats the air. ... This extra water vapor begins to condense out of the air parcel in the form of liquid water droplets.

HELP!!! 30 POINTS+BRAINLIEST!!!!!QUICK!!

Answer:

A:7.2 $ms^{-1}$

B:14.25 $ms^{-1}$

C:1.45 $sec$

D:10.3 $m$

E:2.9 $sec$

F:20.88 $m$

Explanation:

Let $v$ be the velocity and $\alpha$ be the angle between the velocity and ground.

Question A:

Horizontal component of velocity is given by $vcos(\alpha )$ .

So,horizontal component is $16\times cos(63)=16\times 0.45=7.2ms^{-1}$

Question B:

Vertical component of velocity is given by $vsin(\alpha )$ .

So,vertical component is $16\times sin(63)=16\times 0.89=14.25ms^{-1}$

Question C:

Time required is given by $\frac{\text{vertical component of velocity}}{g}}=\frac{14.25}{9.8}=1.45 seconds$

Question D:

Maximum height is given by $\frac{\text{vertical component of velocity}^{2}}{2g}}=\frac{203.06}{19.6}=10.3m$

Question E:

Time of flight is twice the time required to reach maximum height= $2\times 1.45=2.9 seconds$ .

Question F:

The distance between the player and ball after landing is called range and is given by $\text{horizontal component of velocity}\times \text{time of flight}=$ $7.2\times 2.9=20.88m$
