Emissions from alpha decay require the least amount of shielding.

1 answer:

6 0

The particles released during alpha decay are called alpha particles. Alpha particles have greater mass and charge than other emitted particles.

Radioactive emissions are the transfer of energy through the flow of particles or waves in a medium
There are 3 types of radioactive emissions which are alpha, beta and gamma
In alpha radiation, the nucleus emits an alpha particle which is equivalent to a helium nucleus
In beta radiation, an electron is emitted to convert a neutron to a proton
In gamma radiation, the nucleus just loses energy

Since alpha particles have more mass and charge, they are more ionising and lose more energy at a faster rate and can be blocked easily.

1) Andrea and Chuck are riding on a merry-go-round. Andrea rides on a horse at the outer rim of the circular platform, twice as

telo118 [61]

Explanation:

The tangential speed of Andrea is given by :

$v=r\omega$

Where

r is radius of the circular path

ω is angular speed

The merry-go-round is rotating at a constant angular speed. Let the new distance from the center of the circular platform is r'

r' = 2r

New angular speed,

$v'=r'\omega'\\\\v'=(2r)\omega\\\\v'=2r\omega\\\\v'=2v$

New angular speed is twice that of the Chuck's speed.
