Why is it possible for lower-numbered elements with low atomic masses to have radioactive isotopes?

What’s #16 asking and how do i solve it?

It may seem strange that the selected velocity does not depend on either the mass or the charge of the particle. (for example, would the velocity of a neutral particle be selected by passage through this device? ) the explanation of this is that the mass and the charge control the resolution of the device--particles with the wrong velocity will be accelerated away from the straight line and will not pass through the exit slit. if the acceleration depends strongly on the velocity, then particles with just slightly wrong velocities will feel a substantial transverse acceleration and will not exit the selector. because the acc

If a car is traveling on the highway at a constant velocity, the force that pushes the car forward must be a. equal to the weight of the car. b. less than the force of friction exerted upon the car. c. equal to the force of friction exerted upon the car. d. greater than the weight of the car.
