How is a neutron converted into a proton?
This happens, for example, in beta minus decay. But how is it even possible for a neutron to be converted into a proton?

On Earth, more mass is harder to lift, but on the Moon, it was proven that a hammer and a feather fall to the ground at the same speed. So why does more mass generally weigh more?
Good evening everyone, I think we all know these Christmas laser decorations which can, among other things, illuminate house walls from the inside as well as from the outside. Now I have also had the experience that you can look into the laser source from the house. How dangerous do you think direct eye radiation…
Couldn't find the formula in the book and couldn't find it on the internet either (google it on Brave). Only knows the formula SO3(2-). But both are fine, right? What is right? Or does it constantly change due to mesomericity? (It's been a while since we had mesomericity.) LG Mayu
An inexperienced pilot of a UN supply aircraft drops a supply bag exactly vertically above the target point from the aircraft flying at an altitude of 500 m. The bag hits the ground 1.0 km from the target. a) What trajectory does the bag describe? What speed did the plane have? b) At what speed…
Can someone help me with this? I don't understand. Since mass is the same everywhere, why divide it by the g of Earth?
At what point/for what reason would it stop flying upwards?
Neutrons and protons consist of up and down squares, which are the smallest elementary parts we know. A proton consists of two up squares and a down square and a neutron of an up square and two down squares.
What then happens is shown in Feynman charts:
As you can see, a down-quark of the neutron is converted into an up-quark, resulting in a proton. This is done by the weak interaction W-.
