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.

What is the anode in an alkaline battery?
andrew-mc [135]

For instance, in an alkaline battery, the anode is typically made of zinc, and manganese dioxide acts as the cathode. And the electrolyte between and inside those electrodes contains ions. ... These free electrons congregate inside the anode (the bottom, flat part of an alkaline battery)

Hope this helps:)

Why are large astronomical bodies round
-Dominant- [34]
<span>Matter of all types have gravity, which causes it to attract to each other. The most efficient way for all this matter to congregate is the sphere. As they consolidate, they form the shape. As they compress, temperatures in the center of the mass start to go up and if it hits the proper point, it can ignite and become a star.</span>

Five difference between elastic collision and inelastic collision?​
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Elastic Collision

Inelastic Collision

The total kinetic energy is conserved. The total kinetic energy of the bodies at the beginning and the end of the collision is different.

Momentum does not change. Momentum changes.

No conversion of energy takes place. Kinetic energy is changed into other energy such as sound or heat energy.

Highly unlikely in the real world as there is almost always a change in energy. This is the normal form of collision in the real world.

An example of this can be swinging balls or a spacecraft flying near a planet but not getting affected by its gravity in the end.
