Answer:d

Explanation:

Alpha particles are heaviest among alpha, beta and gamma so they have least amount of Penetration compared to both.

Gamma Particles are lightest among three so they can Penetrate most .

The order of Penetration is given by

Alpha< Beta < Gamma

A student of mass 63.4 kg, starting at rest, slides down a slide 21.2 m long, tilted at an angle of 26.1° with respect to thehor

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

fr = 65.46 N , a = 8.74 m / s² and vf = 19.25 m / s

Explanation:

We write a reference system with an axis parallel to the slide and gold perpendicular axis, in this system we decompose the weight

sin 21.2 = Wx / W

cos21.2 = Wy / W

Wx = W sin21.2

Wy = W cos 21.2

We form Newton's equations

X axis

Wx -fr = m a

Y Axis

N- Wy = 0

N = Wy

fr = μ N

fr = μ (W cos 21.2)

fr = 0.113 63.4 9.8 cos 21.2

fr = 65.46 N

We replace and calculate the acceleration

W sin 21.2 - μ W cos 21.2 = m a

a = g (sin21.2 - μ cos 21.2)

a = 9.8 (without 21.2 - 0.113 cos 21.2)

a = 8.74 m / s²

This acceleration is along the slope of the slide, so we can calculate the distance

d = 21.2 m

vf² = v₀² + 2 a d

vf² = 0 + 2 a d

vf = √(2 8.74 21.2)

vf = √ (370,576)

vf = 19.25 m / s

Batman (mass = 96.1 kg) jumps straight down from a bridge into a boat (mass = 458 kg) in which a criminal is fleeing. The veloci

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The velocity of the boat after the batman lands in it is +9.26 m/s

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision.

Note: The collision between the Batman and the boat is an inelastic collision.

m'u'+mu = V(m+m').................... Equation 1

Where m' = mass of the Batman, u' = initial velcoity of the batman, m = mass of the boat, u = initial velocity of the boat, V = common velocity.

make V the subject of equation 1

V = (m'u'+mu)/(m+m')............... Equation 2

Given: m' = 96.1 kg, u' = 0 m/s, m = 458 kg, u = +11.3 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = [(96.1×0)+(458×11.2)]/(96.1+458)

V = 5129.6/554.1

V = +9.26 m/s

lilavasa [31]

I don't know if you need to complete this question or do it otherwise, however, I managed to find on the Internet on several places this completion of your sentence:
<span>Electric current flows through a long rod generating thermal energy at a uniform volumetric rate of q = 2 x 10</span>⁶ W/m³.
I'm not sure whether that is the answer you were looking for, but that's what I found.

The Axis powers began to form in 1936

15th October 1936 - Germany and Italy signed a friendship treaty - Rome-German Axis.
25th November 1936 - Germany and Japan signed a treaty against communism - Anti-Comintern Pact

22nd May 1939 - Germany and Italy signed a stronger alliance - Pact of Steel
27th September 1940 - Japan signed the Pact of Steel - It became known as the Tripartite Pact.

I have a few questions. How would density change if volume is not calculated correctly?

VikaD [51]

Density equals mass divided by volume so the ball the higher amount of mass has more density than the ball with less mass has less density. (The golf ball has more density than the ping pong ball)
