<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: minimum speed of launch must be 7.45m/s

Explanation:

Given the following:

Height or distance (s) = 2.83m

The final velocity(Vf) at maximum height = 0

Upward motion, acceleration due to gravity(g) us negative = -9.8m/s^2

From the 3rd equation of motion:

V^2 = u^2 - 2gs

Where V = final velocity

u = initial velocity

Therefore, u = Vi

u = √Vf^2 - 2gs

u = √0^2 - 2(-9.8)(2.83)

u = √0 + 55.468

u = √55.468

u = 7.4476 m/s

u = 7.45m/s

A car driving down a hill contains many types of energy. DESCRIBE at least 3 types of energy the car has.
VikaD [51]

Once the car is on top of the hill it contains potential energy witch means it is storing enough energy to slide the hill until acted on. Once the car moves and slides down the hill it creates kinetic energy witch means it's in motion. The car then turns the kinetic energy into mechanical energy witch means it's working. I'm not sure if that helped but good luck!
