<span>Good Morning!
 
A) Beta particles are less energetic than alpha particles.
C) The beta particles are negatively charged;
D) Beta particles move much faster than alpha.
 -
B) The beta particles are smaller, so it is that they pass better.

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Alpha particles are helium atoms whereas beta particles are just electrons. Electrons are much lighter than alpha particles (which include both protons and neutrons).

Therefore, electrons can move quickly from one place to other. Also, an electron or beta particle is 8,000 times smaller than alpha particle.

Hence, we can conclude that beta particles pass through materials more easily than alpha particles because beta particles are smaller.

Answer : True because when multiplying the same wavelength with an increase in frequency, will give you a higher velocity (speed).

10 minutes are the same as 600 seconds.

If you run 2 meters in 1 second then you run 2 * 600 meters in 600 seconds.

7)An object is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 3 m/s. What is its acceleration at its maximum height?
ser-zykov [4K]
C.
It is a motion with uniform acceleration, meaning that the acceleration will not change.
The object is thrown upwards with a positive velocity. This shows that the upward direction is positive. The object will decelerate due to gravity at a magnitude of 9.81 m/s2. Therefore, the acceleration is -9.81 m/s2.
Note that even though the velocity of the object is momentarily 0 m/s at maximum height, there is still a constant acceleration.
This allows the object first decelerate upwards, then change direction at max height, and finally accelerate downwards. So in this case, the acceleration is always negative and unchanged.
