How does height affects the potential energy of a body?

The higher the height above the more PE (Potential Energy), the body posses as seen in the formula PE = mass*gravity*height. m and g are constant hence only h affect PE

Explanation:

Potential Energy (PE) is the energy the body posses by virtue of its vertical height above the ground because, once the body is released, it will release or create some energy eg hydroelectricity power generation or a car going downhill does not need to be accelerated by the driver since it can roll over on its own due to PE

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.

the answer is a. at the equator
