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.

In a recent experiment, anti-bacterial hand sanitizer was compared to hand soap. Students washed their hands using the sanitizer

Elden [556K]

<span>B) Both soap brands out perform hand sanitizer in killing bacteria.</span>

Looking at the data, the conclusion is pretty obvious, the two different types of soap resulted in about half the bacteria cultures as either the hand sanitizer, or just using warm water. In fact, the hand sanitizer looks like it's even worse than simply using warm water. So looking at the four available options, the best choice is "B) Both soap brands out perform hand sanitizer in killing bacteria."

What makes speed, velocity, acceleration, distance, and time different?

LekaFEV [45]

Explanation:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

Velocity is given as the displacement per unit of time:

Velocity = $\frac{displacement}{time}$

Speed and velocity are similar but speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity. Speed has magnitude but does not point towards a specific direction. Velocity shows both magnitude and direction and it is a vector quantity.
