The correct option is A.
There are three types of radiation, these are alpha, beta and gamma radiations. Alpha radiation has the lowest penetrating power and can be easily stopped by a thin sheet of paper. Beta radiation has more penetrating power than alpha radiation and can be absorbed by a few centimeter of aluminium sheet. Gamma radiation has the highest penetrating power and can only be stopped by heavy materials such as lead blocks.

Find the distance along an arc on the surface of the earth that subtends a central angle of 1 minutes (1 minute = 1/60 degree).
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

1.152 miles

Explanation:

Given: central angle = 1 minute = (\frac{1}{60}) ^{o}

           radius of the earth = 3960 miles

The length of an arc = \frac{\alpha }{360^{o} } 2\pir

where: \alpha is the central angle, and r is the radius.

Thus,

Distance along the arc = \frac{\alpha }{360^{o} } 2\pir

Distance along the arc = \frac{(\frac{1}{60}) ^{o}  }{360^{o} } x 2 x \frac{22}{7} x 3960

                                      = \frac{(\frac{1}{60}) ^{o}  }{360^{o} } x 24891.4286

                                      = 1.1524

The required distance along an arc is 1.152 miles.

2. C

3. A

4. B

Explanation:

A conductor allows electric current to pass through it. Hence, when conductors are connected in a closed circuit, current flows.

All the resistors in Q2 are connected in series. In a series connection, the current across all the resistors is the same.

In a battery, chemical energy is converted to electrical energy by chemical reactions.

When a new resistor is connected in parallel to a circuit the current increases accordingly.
