The speed at which an object falls and the acceleration at which it falls are
always the same value.
o
o
a. true
b. false

No, the speed at which an object falls is not equal to the acceleration at which it falls.

Option B

Explanation:

Speed is defined as how fast an object can cover a specific distance and in what time it covers. So it is measured as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. While acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Moreover, speed is a scalar quantity and acceleration is a vector quantity. So most of the times, the direction will play an important role in the varying values of speed and acceleration. Also, acceleration of an object will depend upon the force and mass of the object. Thus, speed and acceleration will not attain same value always.

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
