A. 10 rations = 1 deca-ration.
b. 2000 mockingbirds = 2 x 10³ = 2 kilo-mockingbirds.
c. 10⁻⁵ phones = 1 micro-phones.
d. 10⁻⁹ goats = 1 nano-goats.
e. 1018 miners = 1.018 x 10³ = 1.018 kilo-miners.
A decrease in it's operating temperature would make a heat engine less efficient. This is because in order to operate, a heat engine needs to be hot and maintain that temperature.
Beta decay is very complex phenomena in natural radioactive decay. There are 3 types of Beta decay.
B+ decay (Beta plus or Beta positive or positron decay):
is the conversion of a proton into a neutron plus a positron and an electron neutrino.
B- decay (Beta negative or Beta nought):
is the conversion of a neutron into a proton plus an electron and a electron antineutrino.
Note: a positron is the a positive electron or the antiparticle of the electron.
Hope it helps
