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 bowling ball traveling with constant speed hits the pins at the end of a bowling lane 16.5 m long. The bowler hears the sound
pshichka [43]

Let , speed of bowling ball is v .

Time taken by ball to hit the pins , t=\dfrac{16.5}{v} .

Speed of sound , u = 343 m/s .

Time taken by sound to reach ear , T=\dfrac{16.5}{343}=0.048\ s .

Now ,

Time taken by sound to hear after release :

2.79=\dfrac{16.5}{V}+0.048\\\\2.79-0.048=\dfrac{16.5}{V}\\\\2.742=\dfrac{16.5}{V}\\\\V=\dfrac{16.5}{2.742}\\\\V=6.02\ m/s

Hence , this is the required solution .

How were the fossil symbols and mountain bets helpful in deciding where to move the continenets
Alborosie
<span>Similar fossils found on different continents helped geologists determine how the continents used to be connected. Mountain belts marked the boundaries of moving plates, which showed in which direction the different continents drifted. Extrapolating from this information, scientists had a rough idea of how the continents were arranged eons ago.</span>

Momentum is a measure of the<br> of an object.<br> Which term accurately completes the sentence?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Momentum is define as the product of the mass and velocity of a body. It is measured in Kgm/s.

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of an object. When an object or a body of mass 'm' is moving with velocity 'v', then its momentum can be determined as;

momentum (P) = mass × velocity

i.e            P = m × v

                  = mv

It is measured in Kgm/s.

The change in momentum of a body is referred to as its impulse (Ft).

ΔP = m(v - u) = Ft

Where: P is the momentum of the object, m is its mass, v is its final velocity, u is the initial velocity, F is the force and t is the time in which the force acts.
