The cloud chamber, the Geiger counter, and a piece of
photographic film can all reveal the presence of radioactivity. 
Batteries don't.

Answer: Battery

Explanation:

A battery is a source of energy. A battery stores energy in the form of chemical energy and when placed in the circuit, the chemical energy converts to electrical energy. Thus, it is not used to detect radioactivity.

Cloud chamber, Geiger counter  and photographic film are used to detect radioactivity.  A Geiger counter consists of tube filled with gas which gets ionized from radioactive decay. The ionized gas produces electric current which is detected and measured. Photographic film is a photo-sensitive strip which used to detect radiations. Cloud chamber is a particle detector and their trajectories.

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The area of a circle is given b

A=πr²

Then,

dA/dr= 2πr

Also give that,

dr/dt=30m/hr, r=100m

We want to find dA/dt

dA/dt=dA/dr×dr/dt

dA/dt= 2πr × 30

dA/dt= 2 ×π ×100×30

dA/dt=18849.56m²/s.

The rate of the area is 18849.56m²/s

Q.01 When charging a secondary cell, energy is stored within a dielectric material using an electric field. True or False
Nitella [24]

True, when charging a secondary cell, energy can be stored within a dielectric material using an electric field.

<h3>Relationship between dielectric material and electric field</h3>

The electric field in a capacitor separates the negative and positive charges in the dielectric material, this causes an attractive force between each plate and the dielectric.

The dielectric material can store electric energy due to its polarization in the presence of external electric field, which causes the positive charge to store on one electrode and negative charge on the other.

Thus, when charging a secondary cell, energy can be stored within a dielectric material using an electric field.

State a rule that describes how to predict the relative velocities of the two carts after the explosion.
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

If this explosion is occurring in a closed environment this 'rule' would be:

The conservation of momentum.

Explanation:

In a close system which means the experiment is isolated from the surrounding environment and therefore not allowed to interact with its external space will have the same amount of momentum at the end of the experiment as the beginning by the equation of p=mv, p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity.

The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle just below the lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement and isost
lisov135 [29]

Complete option to the question:

A. The asthenosphere is broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.

B. Convection currents within the asthenosphere push magma upward to create new crust.

C. Heat from deep within Earth is thought to keep the asthenosphere malleable.

D. The asthenosphere is the repository for parts of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones.

Answer: The correct option is A (The asthenosphere is broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.)

Explanation:

Among the components that makes up the earth crust are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.

The LITHOSPHERE is the outer layer of the earth structure which consists of the upper part of the mantle and the crust.

The ASTHENOSPHERE is a part of the upper mantle just below the lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement and isostatic adjustments. It is denser and weaker layer of the upper mantle which permits the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere.

The asthenosphere is the repository for parts of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones.Heat from deep within Earth is thought to keep the asthenosphere malleable. And the convection currents within the asthenosphere push magma upward to create new crust. But it is not broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.
