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.

Two particles execute simple harmonic motion of the same amplitude and frequency along close parallel lines. They pass each othe

deff fn [24]

Answer:

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that the displacement of the particle from the mean position is 1/5 times of its amplitude

so we have

$y = A sin\omega t$

$y = \frac{A}{5}$

so now we have

$\frac{A}{5} = A sin\omega t$

now we have

$\theta_1 = 11.53 degree$

so the phase other particle in opposite direction is given as

$\theta_2 = 180 - 11.53 = 168.46 degree$

so we have phase difference given as

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 168.46 - 11.53$

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree$

3. The soccer kicker kicks a 2 kg football with a force of 68 N. How fast will the ball accelerate down the field?

Katen [24]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf m= 2 \ kg , \\a= 34 \ m/s^2, \\\F= 68 \ N}}$

Explanation:

The formula for force is:

$F=m*a$

If we rearrange the formula to solve for a (acceleration), the formula becomes

$\frac{F}{m} =a$

The force is 68 Newtons. Let's convert the units to make the problem easier later on. 1 N is equal to 1 kg*m/s², so the force of 68 N is equal to 68 kg*m/s².

The mass is 2 kilograms.

$F=68 \ kg*m/s^2 \\m= 2\ kg$
