State which of the following statements are true and which are false. Give reasons for your answers. a ) If you rub a children's balloon on a cat, it will then stick to the cat. This is an electrostatic effect. b) A galvanometer can be converted to a voltmeter by adding a large resistance in parallel to the galvanometer . c ) Radioactive decay is predictable , so that e.g. a uranium atom will decay when it is 4 billion years old. d) Sharp lines in the emission spectra of a gas discharge lamp are due to excited electrons falling back to lower states. e) Kinetic energy KE = 1/2 * m * v ^ 2 is just a first approximation from E = m * c ^ 2 = ym0 * c ^ 2
