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.

Alex

Answer:

- Explanatory

Explanation:

<u>Explanatory variable</u> is elucidated as the variable that could affect the response variable. This variable is quite identical with the independent variable as it can be controlled or changed that may affect the response variable(which is similar to dependent variable). However, the observational studies observe the natural responses without any manipulation and therefore, these variables cannot be changed always. In the given example, the 'number of hours spent on studying for the test' would be the explanatory variable as it directly influences the response variable i.e. 'grades.'

Sobre o conceito de ética e moral é CORRETO afirmar que: (0,5)
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

a) A moral é a ciência da conduta, enquanto a ética determina padrões de comportamento.  

Explanation:

Embora sejam conceitos correlatos, a moral e a ética tem significados diferentes, muito fáceis de serem identificados. Isso porque a moral refere-se aos costumes e hábitos que são defendidos em um determinado povo e nação como correto sob um determinado periodo de tempo. EM resumo, podemos afirmar que a moral é uma ciência da conduta observada como correta, dentro de uma região e dentro de uma cultura.

A ética, por sua vez, refere-se aos comportamentos individuais que os indivíduos de uma região assumem como correto, ou seja, a ética esta diretamente relacionada as ações humanas classificadas como corretas ou incorretas. Em resumo, podemos afirmar que a ética determina os padrões de comportamento.
