Emissions from alpha decay require the least amount of shielding.

Physics

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.

The influence of blood vessel diameter on peripheral resistance is ________.
NeX [460]

Answer:

The influence of diameter of the blood vessel on peripheral resistance is significant because resistance is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the diameter.

Explanation:

The influence of diameter of the blood vessel on peripheral resistance is significant because the relation between the peripheral resistance and the diameter is given as, resistance is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the diameter. Thus, with small increase or decrease in the value of diameter, the peripheral resistance may vary by a significant amount.

A rocket is launched from the launch pad at a speed of 700 km/hr.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Vm = Δs/Δt

700km/h = Δs/1.5h

700 = Δs/1.5

\frac{700}{1} = \frac{S}{1.5}

S = 700 x 1.5

S = 1050 Km

*(S = Δs)

Answer: The rocket will have traveled 1050 Km

Hope this help ☺

The moment of water from ocean through the atmosphere and back
melisa1 [442]

The water cycle is all about storing water and moving water on, in, and above the Earth. Although the atmosphere may not be a great storehouse of water, it is the superhighway used to move water around the globe. Evaporation and transpiration change liquid water into vapor, which ascends into the atmosphere due to rising air currents. Cooler temperatures aloft allow the vapor to condense into clouds and strong winds move the clouds around the world until the water falls as precipitation to replenish the earthbound parts of the water cycle. About 90 percent of water in the atmosphere is produced by evaporation from water bodies, while the other 10 percent comes from transpiration from plants.

There is always water in the atmosphere. Clouds are, of course, the most visible manifestation of atmospheric water, but even clear air contains water—water in particles that are too small to be seen. One estimate of the volume of water in the atmosphere at any one time is about 3,100 cubic miles (mi3) or 12,900 cubic kilometers (km3). That may sound like a lot, but it is only about 0.001 percent of the total Earth's water volume of about 332,500,000 mi3 (1,385,000,000 km3), If all of the water in the atmosphere rained down at once, it would only cover the globe to a depth of 2.5 centimeters, about 1 inch.
