Which nuclear emission has the greatest penetrating power

Physics
1 answer:
velikii [3]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

<em><u>Gamma γ radiations has the highest penetrating power,</u></em> of all the nuclear emissions.

Explanation:

The three major types of nuclear emissions are <em>alpha (α), beta (β)</em> and <em>gamma </em>radiations. Of all three, gamma (Υ) radiations have the highest penetrating power (only shielded by lead and concrete), owing to its lack of mass and charge.

It also has a low ionization power and so does not interact well with matter. IT has vast application in cancer treatment and sterilization mechanism.

How does mass and material type effect thermal energy transfer
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
The mass contributes with the time of thermal energy transfer with respect to the material type  but most importantly the material type will determine rate at which the material absorbs the transfer of heat or thermal energy by either three types, conduction, convection and radiation.

This is a velocity versus time graph of a car starting from rest. If the area under the line is 10 meters, what is the correspon
adelina 88 [10]

So the area under a velocity time graph is distance or displacement, if you have done calculus yet you will understand that if you take the integral of a velocity function then you end up with displacement. Thats for later understanding however.

So this appears to be a right triangle so we can find the area of a triangle as:

0.5bh = A

Since our area is 10 meters lets alter our formula a bit to fit the situation:

Our base here is time and our height is velocity so:

0.5tv = Δx

So we can read off the graph that our velocity at the end, or our final velocity appears to be near 2.0 m/s

So we have v, and Δx so lets isolate for time by dividing by v and 0.5

t = Δx / 0.5v

Now lets plug all that in:

t = 10 / 0.5(2)

t = 10 seconds

Hope this helped!
