1 The distance between objects, along with the masses of the object, affect the gravitational force between the objects. Which
statement is TRUE according to Newton's law of universal gravitation?
O When the masses of objects increase, gravitational force decrease
O When the distance between objects increases, gravitational force decreases.
O When distances between objects decreases, gravitational force decreases
O When the masses of objects decrease, the distance between objects decreases.

Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force along a line joining them. The force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers of mass.

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.
