I'm not so sure if it is 5 clicks or 0 clicks
Andreas93 [3]3 years ago

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.

A member of the marching band tunes their trombone inside their school. When they walk out to the field the instrument goes out
Alona [7]

The best explanation is the <em>difference</em> between the inside <em>temperature</em> and the outside temperature.

If the player doesn't change his emboucher (muscles and position of his lips), then the pitch produced by the instrument depends only on the physical dimensions of its plumbing, and the speed of sound in the tube.

BOTH of those things change slightly when the temperature changes.

Jonah rode his skateboard 350 meters down a straight road at a constant velocity. He skated
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

250 m/min down the road

Explanation:

Velocity is equivalent to speed but it considers the direction of the object. Velocity is also calculated by dividing the distance travelled by time. Therefore, v=\frac {d}{t} where d and t are distance and time respectively. Given that d is given as 350 m and t is 1.4 s then by substitution v=\frac {350}{1.4}=250 m/min and the direction is down the road.

Velocity is 250 m/min down the road

Dry air is primarily composed of nitrogen. In a classroom demonstration, a physics instructor pours 3.6 L of liquid nitrogen int
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The  value is  V_n  =  2.2498 \  m^3

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The volume of  liquid nitrogen is  V_n  =  3.6 \  L=  3.6 *10^{-3} \ m^3

   The  density of  nitrogen at gaseous form   is  \rho_n =  1.2929 \  kg/m^3  =  The dry air at sea level

   

Generally the density of nitrogen at liquid form is  

         \rho _l = 808 \  kg/m^3

And this is mathematically represented as

      \rho_l  =  \frac{m}{V_l }

=>   m  =  \rho_l  *  V_l

Now the density of  gaseous nitrogen is

       \rho_n  =  \frac{m}{V_n }

=>   m  =  \rho_n  *  V_n

Given that the mass is constant

       \rho_n  *  V_n  =   \rho_l  *  V_l

        1.2929*  V_n  =   808  *  3.6*10^{-3}

=>   V_n  =  2.2498 \  m^3

A particular frost-free refrigerator uses about 710kWh of electrical energy per year. Express this amount of energy in J, kJ, &a
Dafna11 [192]
<span>A particular frost-free refrigerator uses about 710kWh of electrical energy per year. You are to express this amount of energy in J, kJ, & Calories. 

1 year (365 days / 1 year)(24 hours / 1 day)(3600s / 1h) = 31,536,000s

710 kWh/yr (1 yr) = 710 kWh
710 x 10^3 Wh = </span>710 x 10^3(J/s)(31,536,000s)<span> = 2.24 x 10^13 J
</span>2.24 x 10^13 J = 2.24 x 10^10 kJ = 5.35 x 10^12 cal

Which rational number could be graphed between 0 and 1?A number line going from negative 5 to positive 3 in increments of 1.Nega
vovikov84 [41]

In order to find which rational number is between 0 and 1, let's convert them into their decimal form:

\begin{gathered} \text{negative one-half:} \\ -\frac{1}{2}=-0.5 \\  \\ \text{one}-\text{fourth:} \\ \frac{1}{4}=0.25 \\  \\ \text{three}-\text{halves:} \\ 3\cdot\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5 \\  \\ 1.75 \end{gathered}

Looking at the numbers in their decimal form, we can see that the number between 0 and 1 is one-fourth, therefore the correct option is the second one.
