A long platform is holding your physics teacher in the air above some hungry alligators. Your physics teacher has a mass of 75 kg and is located 2 m from one end. The 10.0 m platform has a mass of 10.0 kg, and its center of gravity is located 4.0 m from the same end. The platform is being held up by two students, one at either end. (12 points) a. What force is required by each student to hold the platform up?

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.

i think the answer is tomato juice? not entirely sure though
