16. nuclear decay is a random event and
a. is independent of other energy influences
c. can be sped up upon cooling
b. can be sped up upon heating
d. can be sped up at room temperature

A. Is independent of other energy influences  

Explanation:

Nuclear decay occurs at a constant rate. The rate of decay is independent of temperature.

B, C, and D are wrong.  The decay rate cannot be sped up or slowed down at ordinary temperatures.

question: ray weighs 100 kilograms, his wrestling partner, bobby, weighs 50 kilograms. if ray moves at 4 m s , how fast will bobby have to run at him to apply an equal amount of kinetic energy?

answer: 8 m/s he needs to run twice as fast to keep up so he has some work to do

explanation:   if the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.
