Particulate material that quickly loses its energy as it travels through the air, has limited penetrating power, and can be stopped by clothing or a sheet of paper is known as <u> alpha particles</u>

<h3>What is penetrating power of radiation?</h3>

The ability of each type of radiation to penetrate matter is expressed by its ability to penetrate. The more radiation a material passes through, the greater the penetration power and the more dangerous it is. In general, the greater the mass current, the greater the ionization strength and the lower the penetrating power.

Comparing only  three common types of ionizing radiation, the alpha particle has the largest mass. Due to the large mass of the alpha particle, it has the highest ionizing strength and greatest tissue damage potential. However, the  same large size of these alpha particles makes them less likely to penetrate matter. Alpha particles have the least penetrating power and can be stopped by a thick sheet of paper or even a layer of clothing. They are also blocked by the outer layer of dead skin on the body. This seems to remove the threat of alpha particles, but only from outside sources.

LiRa [457]

The representative eye that Rebecca wants to borrow from her optometrist dad, which is larger than real human eye, is a model.

  • A model is usually a representation of an object.  It is used to convey information about the real thing (object).

  • A model may be less or more than the real object.  Its use enables Rebecca to present her speech on the human eye and its workings so that her audience can easily understand the speech.

Thus, the representative eye is not an object, a chart, or a graph.  Instead, it is a model that represents the real human eye, which is an object.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

It is only in the past few years that women in the armed services of the United States have been permitted to be active combatants in a battlefield setting. While this has taken place over a number of years and has evolved for a variety of reasons, it is also reasonable to suggest that it has happened in part because of:

a. increased militarization worldwide.

b. greater global threat levels.

c. increased terrorist activity.

d. a shortage of qualified male soldiers.

Answer: a. increased militarization worldwide.

Explanation:

Women have been allowed to serve as an official part of the U.S. military in noncombat positions after Congress founded the Army Nurse Corps (1901). Women were also radio operators, logistical personnel and even helicopter pilots and tank technicians.

Increased militarization worldwide has expanded the United State´s female participation in combat since the early 1990s, when women were allowed to work in aviation and naval combat, and especially since 2016, when they were allowed to work all ground combat jobs.

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

B. The frame is people who play video games

Explanation:

into a survey  it its neccesary to delimit  people according to the subject of the survey in order to get representative dates of the population, for that reason if the survey want to show  the quantity of people who  buy video games in a national scale, the frame of that study is people who play video games, in this order of ideas, people who don't play videogames, don't like videogames and don't have the adquisitive power to buy video games would be excluded from the survey, however, if the pollster doesn't take into account the previous affirmations, the survey won't be conclusive, reaslistic and useless for showing the quantity  people who buy video games in the game store.
