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.

An object, initially at rest, moves 250 m in 17 s. What is its acceleration?
mash [69]

Answer:

1.73 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 250 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 17 s

Find: a

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

250 m = (0 m/s) (17 s) + ½ a (17 s)²

a = 1.73 m/s²

ryan hypothesizes that darker colors heat up faster. he places a thermometer inside a red wool sock, a green cotton glove, and a
telo118 [61]
Light are transfer through waves in the atmosphere and yes it  true that the darker the color is the more heat it could absorb thus it is also explain that the lighter the color is the less heat or light its absorb its because the light is bounces back through other form of light and it lessens the amount of heat in a substance. In Ryan's procedure the possible wrong that he done is the present of a green cotton glove. Green color are one of the color that bounces light and could not support the hypothesis of Ryan and the possible temperature he could get is not the accurate one.

A 75.0 kg diver falls from rest into a swimming pool from a height of 5.10 m. It takes 1.34 s for the diver to stop after enteri
vichka [17]

Answer:

559.5 N

Explanation:

Applying,

v² = u²+2gs............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity,

From the question,

Given: s = 5.10 m, u = 0 m/s ( from rest)

Constant: 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

v² = 0²+2×9.8×5.1

v² = 99.96

v = √(99.96)

v = 9.99 m/s

As the diver eneters the water,

u = 9.99 m/s, v = 0 m/s

Given: t = 1.34 s

Apply

a = (v-u)/t

a = 9.99/1.34

a = -7.46 m/s²

F = ma.............. Equation 2

Where F = force, m = mass

Given: m = 75 kg, a = -7.46 m/s²,

F = 75(-7.46)

F = -559.5 N

Hence the average force exerted on the diver is 559.5 N
