Answer:

d). X-rays

Explanation:

X -rays are also called photons. They are a packet of electro magnetic radiation. X rays originate from the shell of the electron.  X rays are highly penetrating, and have a shorter wavelength than alpha particles and the beta particles. They are similar to the gamma rays which are also has a high penetrating power and easily pass through the human body.

 Thus X rays can penetrate a skin tissue upto 2 cm thickness.

Answer:

<h2>D. X-Rays</h2>

Explanation:

Alpha and beta particles are actually particulate radiation. X and Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation.

Among the options, beta particles and X-Rays are the ones that can penetrate skin, but only X-Rays can go 2 cm deeper.

Actually, beta particles or beta radiation in the tissue can penetrate just a few milimeters, but X-Rays can penetrate many centimeters. That's why X-Rays are used to examine bones, it's too deep to use beta radiation.

Therefore, the right answer is D.

A 4 kg bowling ball moving at 1.4 m/s east impacts a 400 g pin that is stationary. After the impact, the ball is moving at 0.5 m
nignag [31]

The speed of the pin after the elastic collision is 9 m/s east.

<h3>Final speed of the pin</h3>

The final speed of the pin is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

m1u1 + mu2 = m1v1 + m2v2

where;

  • m is the mass of the objects
  • u is the initial speed of the objects
  • v is the final speed of the objects

4(1.4) + 0.4(0) = 4(0.5) + 0.4v2

5.6 = 2 + 0.4v2

5.6 - 2 = 0.4v2

3.6 = 0.4v2

v2 = 3.6/0.4

v2 = 9 m/s

Thus, The speed of the pin after the elastic collision is 9 m/s east.

sweet [91]
<span>The acceleration of the bullet is called ACTION.

</span>Formally stated, Newton's third law<span> is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

A maple tree seed fell 180 centimeters straight toward the ground at a constant velocity. It moved that distance in 1.5seconds.
denis23 [38]

Answer: 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity V is defined as the variation of position of an object or body in time. So, if we know the distance the seed traveled and the time, we can calculate its velocity:

V=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d=180 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=1.8 m is the distance the maple seed traveled

t=1.5 s is the time

Then:

V=\frac{1.8 m}{1.5 s}

V=1.2 m/s This is the seed's velocity
