I'm not so sure if it is 5 clicks or 0 clicks

Answer:

0 clicks would be detected on the far side of the aluminum shield. Alpha particles are not very penetrating. Paper, clothing or a few centimeters of air can effectively shield against alpha particles. However, if ingested or inhaled, alpha particles can be hazardous.

How did the iron filing patterns show attractive forces between magnetic poles?
nasty-shy [4]

When the magnet is placed on the glass, it is attracted to the iron filings. The pattern of the iron filings shows that the lines of force that make up the magnetic field of the magnet. Also, The lines of force of north and south poles attract each other whereas those of two north poles fend off each other.

A small button placed on a horizontal rotating platform with diameter 0.520 m will revolve with the platform when it is brought
yawa3891 [41]

For the position of button we can use force balance as

Friction Force = Centripetal force

so here we will have

\mu_s mg = m\omega^2 R

here we know that

R = radius of circle where button is placed

\omega = 2\pi f

f = 35 rev/min

f = \frac{35}{60} rev/s = 0.58 rev/s

\omega = 2\pi (0.58) = 3.66 rad/s

now from above equation

\mu_s(m)(9.81) = (3.66)^2(0.240)

\mu_s = 0.33

so friction coefficient will be 0.33
