Carlos is conducting a controlled experiment. A controlled experiment is a scientific test where only one variable is changed and there is a group of subjects (named the control group) that is not receiving the factor that is being tested. The group of subjects receiving a treatment or the factor which is being tested is called the experimental group. The variable which is different between the control and the experimental group is the independent variable. The dependent variable depends on the independent variable and represents the response that we observe as an outcome of our experiment.
I think it would be B but i don’t know completely I’m not the smartest lol
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge. So, due to the like charges of protons there occurs electrostatic force of repulsion inside the nucleus of the atom.
But due to similar number of neutrons and protons a force that is able to bind both of them together is known as strong nuclear binding energy.
This force is strong enough that it is able to overcome electrostatic force of repulsion. But when there is great difference in the number of protons and neutrons then binding force is not strong enough.
Hence, the atom becomes unstable and undergoes radioactive decay. So, this means weak forces are responsible for radioactive decay.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement which best describes Yanni’s error is that the strong force is responsible for radioactive decay.
