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.

PLEASE HELP ILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! A ball is initially thrown downwards with an initial speed of 20 m/s from the top of a 300 m
Sholpan [36]

Using the 3rd equation of motion:

= v² - u² = 2gs ------ [g = Acceleration due to gravity]

= v² - 20² = 2 × 10 × 300

= v² - 400 = 6000

= v² = 6000 - 400

= v = √5600

= v = 74.83 m/s

And yeah it's done :)

An object of mass 8kg is attached to massless string of length 2m and swum with a tangential velocity of 3 what is the tension o
Paul [167]

Answer:

36 N

Explanation:

If the object of mass, m = 8 kg is swung in a horizontal circle of radius, r = 2m = length of string with tangential velocity v = 3 m/s, the tension in the string is the centripetal force which is T = mv²/r

= 8 kg × (3 m/s)²/2 m

= 4 kg × 9 m/s²

= 36 N

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

According to Newton's 2nd law

The force acting on a body produces acceleration in its direction which is directly propotional to the force but inversly propotinal to the mass of tbe body.

Explanation:

a = F/m

F = ma

Where( F) is force (m) is mass and (a) is acceleration.

You need to design a photodetector that can respond to the entire range of visible light. True or False
Rasek [7]

Answer: True

Explanation:

A photo detector that can respond to the entire rang of visible light can be design, it is true.

Photo detector is a device in an optical receiver which receives optical signals and convert it to electric signal. It is the key device position in front of the optical receiver.
