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.

xeze [42]

Answer:

A force that pushes or pulls is known as Newton's third law of Motion.

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law of Motion. Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for each action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. What this suggests is that pushing on an object causes that object to keep off against you, the precise same amount, but within the other way.

A refrigerator
andrew11 [14]

From the definition of the first Law of thermodynamics we know that heat flows from the hottest object to the coldest. What has a refrigerator inside is a refrigerant that is traveling through some heat exchangers, driven by pumps and that allows the exchange of heat between a 'Hot' tank and then transport it to a certain place, eject it and return to extract more heat. In this way the refrigerant removes heat from a hot region to a cold region and heat enters said hot region. Since the heat extracted is greater than that of the medium, the heat from the inside flows outward.

The correct answer is B.
