Alpha radiation consists of fast-moving helium particles, and Beta radiation consists of electrons. Although helium particles are tiny, and electrons even tinier, these still consistent matter. Alpha and Beta waves consist of matter.

Gamma radiation consists of pure energy in the form of electromagnetic rays, and therefore do not consist of matter.

The answer is A) It does not consist of matter

what is the net force of a 6 kg object that goes from a velocity of 0.5 m/s to a velocity of 3 m/s over the course of 1.5 second

baherus [9]

Answer:

∑F = 10.2 N

Explanation:

We have:

Initial velocity: 0.5 m/s

Final velocity: 3 m/s

Time: 1.5 s

We have all of the components needed to calculate acceleration. Let's do that, shall we?

a = vf-vo/t

a = 2.5/1.5

a = 1.7 $m$ / $s^{2}$

Now, look at the Net Force equation:

∑F = ma

Plug in the variables, to get:

∑F = (6)(1.7)

∑F = 10.2 N (You can round this according to significant digits)

Single-celled organisms duplicate their genetic material twice during cell division

Explanation:

All multicellular organisms use cell division for growth and the maintenance and repair of cells and tissues. Single-celled organisms use cell division as their method of reproduction. Somatic cells contain two copies of each of their chromosomes (one copy from each parent).
