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.

What is the amount of heat, in Sl units, necessary to melt 1 lb of ice?
likoan [24]

Answer:

Heat required to melt 1 lb of ice is 151.469 KJ

Explanation:

We have given mass of ice = 1 lb

We know that 1 lb = 0.4535 kg

Latent heat of fusion for ice =334 KJ/kg

Amount if heat for fusion of ice is given by

Q=mL, here m is mass of ice and L is latent heat of fusion

So heat Q=mL=0.4535\times 334=151.469kj

So heat required to melt 1 lb of ice is equal to 151.469 KJ

What will happen for Potential energy of a body if the mass is dobled keeping height constant​
4vir4ik [10]
<h3><u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • The mass of the body is doubled
  • The height of the body is constant

<h3><u>Solution </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u></h3>

We know that ,

Potential energy = mgh

<u>Therefore</u><u>, </u>

We can say that,

PE is directly proportional to Mass of the body

<u>According </u><u>to </u><u>the </u><u>question</u><u>, </u>

PE of the body = 2m * g * h. ...eq( I)

From (I) , we can conclude that, If mass of the body get doubled then its PE will also be doubled .

A 2-kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 10 m/s on the ground.
liberstina [14]
It's kinetic energy as the ball the ball isn't raised above the ground it does not have any gravitational potential energy. 
To find the kinetic energy of the ball you will have to use the formula:
KE=0.5 x m x v squared
m being mass and v being velocity 
so the calculation is:
0.5 x 2 x 10 x 10= 100J

3. Why does a cyclist bend cycle at the time of making circular<br>turn?​
Fittoniya [83]

A cyclist must lean into a turn to prevent tipping over in the other direction.The frictional force provides the centripetal force necessary to turn the cyclist to the left.But the frictional force also produces a clockwise torque that will cause the rider and the bicycle to tip clockwise to the right.The force is provided by the friction of the tires.
