4. A 100-kg soldier in the Arctic is coasting on his ice skates at a speed of 3.0 m/s. He fires 35 bullets directly forward from his 10.0-kg machine gun. Each bullet has a mass of 60 g and a speed of 500 m/s. What is his final velocity?​

The gunner must apply 240 N  to the gun to stop it from moving back.

Explanation:

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 would be a
