Answer:

Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting one or more particles.

the giving off of rays of energy or particles by the breaking apart of atoms of certain elements (as uranium) 2 : the rays or particles that are given off when atoms break apart.

The three most common types of radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.

Describe the principle of conversation of energy:
exis [7]

Answer: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, rather it is converted from one form to another

Explanation:

The principle of conversation of energy explains how energy is conserved in nature by being converted from one form to another such that no energy is created nor destroyed.

Practical examples include:

- electrical pressing iron that converts electrical energy to heat energy

- solar panels that converts solar energy to electrical energy

- Car batteries that converts chemical energy to light energy etc

How much force is required to move a tractor 60m, when using 250J of work?
lianna [129]

Answer:

Work done,W= 250J

Displacement , s = 60

We know that, Work done = Force x displacement

i.e , W = Fxs

250 J = F x 60m

F = 250/60

=4.16 N

Hence , 4.16 N of Force is applied on the body.
