Answer:

Gamma rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays are usually defined as a type of electromagnetic radiations, that are characterized by the presence of shorter wavelength and higher energy. These are the common radiations that are released from the radioactive substances, where an unstable nucleus of an atom releases an excess amount of energy by undergoing continuous electromagnetic processes.

These are harmful to humans and other organisms, as they are comprised of very high energy and they can easily penetrate through the bodies of humans and other organisms.

These gamma particles are emitted in the power plants, where the people working in it wear a special type of device that helps them in monitoring the exposure to radiation.

A 0.500-kg stone is moving in a vertical circular path attached to a string that is 75.0 cm long. The stone is moving around the
Semenov [28]

Answer:

B. 7.07 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the stone when it leaves the circular path is its tangential velocity, v, which is given by

v=\omega r

where \omega is the angular speed and r is the radius of the circular path.

\omega is given by

\omega = 2\pi f

where f is the frequency of revolution.

Thus

v=2\pi fr

Using values from the question,

v=2\pi\times 1.50\times0.75

<em>Note the conversion of 75 cm to 0.75 m</em>

v=2\times3.14\times 1.50\times0.75 = 9.42\times0.75 = 7.065=7.07

What is the acceleration of a car that goes from 0 to 20m/s in 7 seconds?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

2m/s^2

Explanation:

Clculate the acceleration:

V = u +at

20m/s = 0 + a*10s

a = 20m//10s

a = 2m/s²

From the data given , it is not possible to calculate the displacement , because no direction of motion is given

But it is possible to calculate the distance travelled

Distance = ut + ½ *a*t²

distance = 0 + ½ * 2m/s * 10²s

distance = 100m

A copper wire has a diameter of 2.097 mm. what magnitude current flows when the drift velocity is 1.54 mm/s? take the density of
frozen [14]

By using drift velocity of the electron, the current flow is 7.20 ampere.

We need to know about drift velocity of electrons to solve this problem. The drift velocity can be determined as

v = I / (n . A . q)

where v is drift velocity, I is current, n is atom number density, A is surface area and q is the charge.

From the question above, we know that

d = 2.097 mm

r = (0.002097 / 2) m

v = 1.54 mm/s = 0.00154 m/s

ρ = 8.92 x 10³ kg/m³

q = e = 1.6 x 10¯¹⁹C

Find the atom density

n = Na x ρ / Mr

where Na is Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³), Mr is the atomic weight of copper (63.5 g/mol = 0.635 kg/mol).

n = 6.022 x 10²³ x 8.92 x 10³ / 0.635

n = 8.46 x 10²⁷ /m³

Find the current flows

v = I / (n . A . q)

0.00154 = I / (8.46 x 10²⁷ . πr² . 1.6 x 10¯¹⁹)

0.00154 = I / (8.46 x 10²⁷ . π(0.002097 / 2)² . 1.6 x 10¯¹⁹)

I = 7.20 ampere
