Correct answer: A. Alpha particles are 20 times safer than other types of radiation.

Alpha, beta, gamma, and X-rays are the forms of ionizing radiations. Alpha radiations are emitted when an atom emits alpha particles with 2 neutrons and 2 protons. These particles ionize matter due to their charge and mass. Alpha particles cannot penetrate the outer layers of the skin, but when present inside the cell they can be very damaging as they lose their energy within short distances ionizing the matter present around. Therefore, alpha particles cause more damage than other forms of radiations.

Assume the alveolar radii are 0.05 and 0.07 mm towards the end of exhalation. Knowing that air flows from high to low pressures,
xeze [42]

Answer:

0.286 mN/m^2

Explanation:

Using Laplace's law of surface tension:

P=\frac{2T}{r}

where:

P = pressure

T = surface tension

r = radius

In the longer alveoli with radius of  0.07 mm = 0.07*10^{-2}m; we have:

P =  \frac{2*25mN/m}{0.07*10^{-2}m}

P = 0.714 mN/m^2

In the smaller alveoli with radius 0.05 mm = 0.05 * 10^{-2} m; we have:

P = \frac{2*25mN/m}{0.05*10^-2m}

P = 1.00 mN/m^2

The pressure difference can now be calculate as follows:

Pressure difference = (1.00 - 0.714)mN/m^2

Pressure difference = 0.286 mN/m^2

Sesh wants to create a device to transmit an electrical current. He has the following materials: pure water (H2O), brass (Cu3Zn2
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Use the brass foil to carry the current, because metals conduct electricity well in the solid state.


Dissolve the calcium chloride in water, because ionic compounds conduct electricity well when dissolved.


Pure water, sugar, or methane are not useful because they are covalent compounds and do not conduct an electric current.

What happens when the temperature of an object decreases?
NNADVOKAT [17]
We know, Kinetic energy (movement of the particle) is directly proportional to the temperature of the object. When you decrease the temperature, it's movement will also decrease and object particles move slower.

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

A large balloon contains 233 L of neon at 22.0C and 760. Torr. If the balloon ascends to an altitude where the temperature is -
shepuryov [24]

Answer: The volume in the balloon at the higher altitude is 260 L

Explanation:

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 760 torr

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 511 torr

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 233 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 22.0^0C=(22.0+273)K=295K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = -52.0^0C=(-52.0+273)K=221K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{760\times 233}{295}=\frac{511\times V_2}{221}

V_2=260L

The volume in the balloon at the higher altitude is 260 L
