<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:

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the answer would be the first one because there's a force pushing the object in every direction, so they would cancel eachother out and make the object stay in the same place.

If you wanted to produce more power,what could you do to maximize power
PSYCHO15rus [73]

In physics, power is defined as energy per unit time.  You will also hear it described as work per unit time.  The standard unit of measure for power is the watt, where a watt is defined as joules (energy) per second (time).  This is expressed as a fraction as J/s.  If you wanted to increase the power in any operation, you can either increase the energy (more joules) or reduce the time (fewer seconds).

A 1.2 g pebble is stuck in a tread of a 0.76 m diameter automobile tire, held in place by static friction that can be at most 3.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

v=33.764m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=1.2 g=0.0012 kg

diameter d=0.76 m

Friction Force F=3.6 N

To find

Velocity v

Solution

From the Centripetal force we know that

F_{c}=\frac{mv^{2} }{r}

Where m is mass

v is velocity

r is radius

Substitute the given values to find velocity v

So

F_{c}=\frac{mv^{2} }{r}\\v^{2}=\frac{F_{c}(r)}{m}\\ v=\sqrt{\frac{F_{c}(r)}{m}}\\ v=\sqrt{\frac{F_{c}(diameter/2)}{m}}\\v=\sqrt{\frac{(3.6N)(0.76/2)m}{(0.0012kg)}}\\v=33.764m/s
