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.

The force that contributed to the formation of planets, determines the motion of bodies in the solar system, and pulls objects t
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The force of gravity

Explanation:

Gravity was studied, by early scientists such as Copernicus and others, Galileo was the first to ensure that planets moved according to a physical equation that depended on a force that caused celestial bodies to move and interact with each other. But years later Newton based on studies conducted deciphering what Galileo assumed, he was able to find the equation of the force of gravity in any body in the universe. This equation depends on the masses of the two interacting bodies, the distance between them and a constant, which I call universal gravitation constant.

F_{g}=G*\frac{m_{1}*m_{2}}{r^2}

Fg = gravity force [N]

G =  universal gravitation constant = 6.67*10^(-11) [N*m^2/kg^2]

m1 = mass of the 1st body [kg]

m2 = mass of the 2nd body [kg]

r = distance between the bodies [meters]

Two gliders collide on a frictionless air track that is aligned along the x axis. Glider A has an initial velocity of +4.0 m/s a
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

As collision is elastic,thus we can use conservation of momentum equation

mA=0.2 kg

(vB)1=0 m/s.......................as it is on rest before collision

(vA)1=4 m/s

(vA)2=-1 m/s

(vB)2=2 m/s

using equation

(mA*vA+mB*vB)1= (mA*vA+mB*vB)2

Where 1 and 2 represents before and after collision

(0.2*4)+(mB*0)=(0.2*-1)+(mB*2)

0.8=-0.2+(2mB)

mass of object B=mB=0.3 Kg

When a 2.40-kg object is hung vertically on a certain light spring described by Hooke's law, the spring stretches 2.92 cm.(a) Wh
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

805.48N/m

Explanation:

According to Hookes law

F = Ke

F is the force = mg

F = 2.4×9.8 = 23.52N

e is the extension = 2.92cm = 0.0292m

Force constant K = F/e

K = 23.52/0.0292

K = 805.48N/m

Hence the force constant of the spring is 805.48N/m

An emf is induced in response to a change in magnetic field inside a loop of wire. Which of the following changes would increase
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

changing the magnetic field more rapidly

Explanation:

According to Faraday's law, whenever there is a change in the magnetic lines of force, it leads the production of induced emf. The magnitude of induced emf is proportional to to the rate of change of flux.

Hence if the magnetic field inside a loop of wire is changed rapidly, the magnitude of induced emf increases in accordance with Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction stated above when the magnetic field is changed more rapidly, hence the answer.
