Spontaneous disintegration of a radionuclide accompanied by the emission of alpha or beta particles or gamma rays. It can lead to the mutation of living cells.
Example: alpha, beta, gamma decay

According to newton’s first law of motion, which force is expected to cause a body to accelerate?

Certain bacteria (such as aquaspirillum magnetotacticum) tend to swim toward the earth’s geographic north pole because they contain tiny particles, called magnetosomes, that are sensitive to a magnetic field. if a transmission line carrying 100 a is laid underwater, at what range of distances would the magnetic field from this line be great enough to interfere with the migration of these bacteria? (assume that a field less than 5% of the earth’s field would have little effect on the bacteria. take the earth’s field to be 5.0 * 10-5 t, and ignore the effects of the seawater.)
