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.

What is the combined resistance for two resistors with resistances of 10 Ohms and 23.7 Ohms if they are connected in series
Agata [3.3K]

Answer: 33.7Ω

Explanation:

Since there are two resistors connected in series, the total resistance (Rtotal) of the circuit is the sum of each resistance.

i.e Rtotal = R1 + R2

R1 = 10Ω

R2 = 23.7Ω

Hence, Rtotal = 10Ω + 23.7Ω

Rtotal = 33.7Ω

Thus, the combined resistance for two resistors is 33.7Ω

Greeley [361]

Answer:

C. It is negative

Explanation:

Per Newton's second law, the net force is the mass times the acceleration:

∑F = ma

If the acceleration is negative, the net force is negative.

Balance tubes by spacing them equally around the centrifuge and Always balance tubes with other tubes containing a same volume of liquid are right. 
If you don't space them out equally, you will have a lot of broken glass to clean up...trust me. The same thing can happen if you don't have equal amounts of liquid in each tube, but it doesn't have to be exactly the same in every one.
