Which form of radioactive decay would you be most likely to detect if it was happening in the room next to the one you are currently in?

gamma, becasue the alpha particals would be blocked by the wall between you. radiation gives off gamma particals and Alpha particals mostly.

Explanation:

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
