Answer:

The correct option is D) Fission

Explanation:

There are several methods through which Radioactive isotopes are created.

Using a nuclear reactor that has a field of neutrons, insert a stable sample such as Lutetium-176. When it gets bombarded with neutrons, it acquires some, and fission is said to have occurred. Note that when Lutetium-176 acquires a neutron, it becomes radioactive Lu-177.
Fission is also used to create Fluorine-18. To obtain the same, you need to bombard pure or enriched [ $^{18} O$ ] water with ~18 MeV protons which are high energy in nature. The bombarding is achieved using a cyclotron or an accelerator.

Let's call $m=565~g=0.565~kg$ the mass of the glider and $m_w=7\cdot12~g =84~g=0.084~kg$ the total mass of the seven washers hanging from the string.
The net force on the system is given by the weight of the hanging washers:
$F_{net} = m_w g$
For Newton's second law, this net force is equal to the product between the total mass of the system (which is $m+m_w$ ) and the acceleration a:
$F_{net}=(m+m_w)a$
So, if we equalize the two equations, we get
$m_w g = (m+m_w)a$
and from this we can find the acceleration:
$a= \frac{m_w g}{(m+m_w)} = \frac{0.084~kg \cdot 9.81~m/s^2}{(0.565~kg+0.084~kg)}=1.27~m/s^2$
