Emissions from alpha decay require the least amount of shielding.

Physics
1 answer:
just olya [345]2 years ago
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.

A hill that has a 36.1% grade is one that rises 36.1 m vertically for every 100.0 ml of distance in the horizontal direction. At
GaryK [48]

Answer:

angle is 19.85°

Explanation:

given data

grade = 36.1 %

vertically distance y = 36.1 m

horizontal distance x = 100 m

to find out

angle

solution

we know that according to question here

it make a triangle shape that contain 100 m base and height 36.1 m

and make angle with base is θ

so by triangle we know here

tanθ = y/x   ..........1

so we now put x and y and find θ

tanθ = 36.1 / 100

tanθ = 0.361

θ = 19.85°

so angle is 19.85°

A 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Momentum after collision will be 6000 kgm/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the whale = 1000

Initial velocity v = 6 m/sec

It collides with other mass of 200 kg which is at stationary

Initial momentum of the whale = 1000×6 = 6000 kgm/sec

We have to find the momentum after collision

From conservation of momentum

Initial momentum = final momentum

So final momentum = 6000 kgm/sec

a measure has true value of 2.00and the measurement value was found to e 1.95.calculate the precision of the measuring instrumen
DiKsa [7]

The precision of the measuring instruments will be 2.5%.

<h3>What is precision?</h3>

It should be noted that precision simply means how close a test result will be when it's repeated.

In this case, the precision of the measuring instruments will be:

= (2 - 1.95)/2.

= 0.05/2

= 2.5%

Therefore, the the precision of the measuring instruments will be 2.5%.
