1. Determine whether or not the path travelled has an effect on the work being performed if the starting point and ending point remain the same. Consider cases when there is only one constant force acting on
an object and other times when the forces acting on the object depend on the path. Give an example of
each.

My youngins heartless, so they ain't playin' no games

We really want 'em dead, he got hit up close range

He fuc__ked up in the head, he wanna see some more brains

On that corner, I couldn't stay up out that do_0pe game

My cousin got indicted dealin' coc__aine

She an Insta>:gram addict, she want more fame

I used to starve, now I'm blowing up like pro__pane

Told my inner self, "I promise you I won't change"

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.
