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.

A spherical balloon is inflated with gas at the rate of 500 cubic centimeters per minute. How fast is the radius of the balloon
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

<h2>0.245cm/min</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of the spherical balloon is expressed as V = 4/3πr³ where r is the radius of the spherical balloon. If the spherical balloon is inflated with gas at the rate of 500 cubic centimetres per minute then dV/dt = 500cm³.

Using chain rule to express dV/dt;

dV/dt = dV/dr*dr/dt

dr/dt is the rate at which the radius of the gallon is increasing.

From the formula, dV/dr = 3(4/3πr^3-1))

dV/dr = 4πr²

dV/dt = 4πr² *dr/dt

500 =  4πr² *dr/dt

If radius r = 40;

500 = 4π(40)² *dr/dt

500 = 6400π*dr/dt

dr/dt = 500/6400π

dr/dt = 5/64π

dr/dt  = 0.245cm/min

Hence, the radius of the balloon is increasing at the rate of 0.245cm/min

A motorcyclist travelling at 30m/s starts to apply his brake when he is 50m from the traffic light that has just turned red .if
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

9m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 30m/s

Final velocity  = 0m/s

Distance traveled  = 50m

Unknown:

Deceleration  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the proper motion equation;

          V²   = U²   +  2aS

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

S is the distance

  Insert the parameters and solve;

          0²  = 30²  + 2(a)50

          -900  = 100a  

              a = -9m/s²

The negative value indicates deceleration.

The motorcycle decelerates at a rate of 9m/s²

In 2.34 hours, the bus travels 16.34 km.

Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Average speed = (16.34 km) / (2.34 hours) = 6.983 km/hr

What is the difference between a negative feedback system and a positive feedback system?
Anni [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The negative feedback is responsible for maintaining equilibrium (stability) in a system as it lessens effects, which is contrary to positive feedback which increases reaction and moves a system further away from equilibrium (stability), It does so by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. e.g

  • Insulin lowers down blood sugar levels, so when the body detects that it has too much sugar, the pancreas is prompted to release insulin and only stops when balance is achieved; hence, negative feedback.  
  •  When there is a tear on the skin, a chemical is released. This chemical causes platelets in the blood to activate, hence they release a chemical which signals more platelets to activate, until the wound is clotted, positive feedback.
