Answer:

Beta rays

Explanation:

as we know that as per energy we can say that maximum energy is for gamma rays and minimum energy is for alpha rays

so here alpha rays are of least energy and it can not penetrate through the paper

while gamma rays are of maximum energy which is due to transitions in nuclear level so it can penetrate through any thickness

So here we have to choose which can penetrate through paper but can not penetrate through wood

so it is of moderate energy

So this must be Beta rays

The type of radiation that can penetrate through paper, but not through wood is called beta rays. Beta rays can penetrate paper and air, but a thin piece of alimony can stop it. Gamma can cut through anything except lead and many inches of concrete. Alpha can be stopped by paper and not penetrated. The correct answer is B.

densk [106]

Answer:

0.027m

Explanation:

the bolt loses contact with the piston only when acceleration due to gravity equals acceleration of piston

ω² * A = g where ω is angular velocity, A amplitude, g acceleration due to gravity

ω is given by 2πf, ω² is 4π²f²

A= g/4π²f² depending on the value of g used either 10m/s² or 9.8m/s²,

i used 10m/s² in this answer

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant of the magnetic field is $4.11\times10^{-5}\ T$

Explanation:

Given that,

Current = 40 A

Magnetic field $B=3.7\times10^{-5}\ T$

Distance = 22 cm

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using formula of magnetic field

$B'=\dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2\pi r}$

Where, r = distance

I = current

Put the value into the formula

$B'=\dfrac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times20}{2\pi\times0.22}$

$B'=1.8\times10^{-5}\ T$

We need to calculate the magnitude of the resultant of the magnetic field

Using formula of resultant

$B''=\sqrt{B^2+B'^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$B''=\sqrt{(3.7\times10^{-5})^2+(1.8\times10^{-5})^2}$

$B''=4.11\times10^{-5}\ T$

Hence, The magnitude of the resultant of the magnetic field is $4.11\times10^{-5}\ T$

lara [203]

Answer:

1. B

2. B

Explanation:

1. he was the only teacher at that time that figured out that everything doesn't revolve around us. he figured it out by a telscope he made from three lens and a tube. its actually pretty cool. He found out that venus first was in front of us.

2. if the earth wasn't at a tilt, then we wouldn't have sessons, when the earth rotate around the sun, the earth is roataing at a title axis. and that changes our seesons, because if we are in south america, and we are in winter time, and south america is cold, then it means that the continent is not getting as much heat from the sun. Does that makes since, because it doesn't sound like it?
