The driver of a 1,500 kg car is traveling at 25 m/s. A deer runs into the road and the driver slams on the brakes. If it takes the car 5 seconds to stop, the acceleration of the car is m/s2. a.
0.25 m/s2

b.
-0.25 m/s2

c.
5 m/s2

d.
-5 m/s2

c.

5 m/s2

Explanation:

Δv = at

a = Δv/t

a = (0 - 25)/5

a = 5 m/s²

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.

does anyone know or what?
