Alpha particles have both high mass and low velocity, but it would be the former that determines why they can't penetrate. An alpha particle is made of two protons and two neutrons, which is quite a large mass for a particle. This large mass keeps it from penetrating too deeply into anything, since it will essentially "get stuck" when it comes too near to another atom.
So the answer, I believe, is B. Alpha particles have high mass.

A particle moves along the x axis from the origin. The magnitude of the position vector at time t is
Maurinko [17]

1) The average velocity is -2.1\cdot 10^5 m/s

2) The instantaneous velocity is 64t-260t^3

Explanation:

1)

The average velocity of an object is given by

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, the position of the particle is given by the function

x(t) = 32t^2 - 65t^4

where t is the time.

The position of the particle at time t = 6 sec is

x(6) = 32(6)^2 - 65(6)^4=-83,088 m

While the position at time t = 12 sec is

x(12)=32(12)^2-65(12)^4=-1,343,232 m

So, the displacement is

d=x(12)-x(6)=-1,343,232-(-83,088)=-1,260,144 m

And therefore the average velocity is

v=\frac{-1,260,144 m}{12 s- 6 s}=-2.1\cdot 10^5 m/s

2)

The instantaneous velocity of a particle is given by the derivative of the position vector.

The position vector is

x(t) = 32t^2 - 65t^4

By differentiating with respect to t, we find the velocity vector:

v(t) = x'(t) = 2\cdot 32 t - 4\cdot 65 t^3 = 64t - 260 t^3

Therefore, the instantaaneous velocity at any time t can be found by substituting the value of t in this expression.

Salt is now added to the water in the bucket, increasing the density of the liquid. what happens to the tension in the string ?
AlexFokin [52]

The question involves a ping-pong ball that is held submerged in a bucket by a string attached to the bottom of the bucket.

The answer is the tension of the string will increase. This is because making the water salty increases its density, and consequently, increases its buoyancy. This is why sea water is more buoyant than fresh water. Therefore the ping pong is pushed more upwards by the water when salt is added than initially. This gives the string more tension.

1. In what type of ecosystem can monkeys population be found?
sp2606 [1]
I, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

Here are the answers to your questions:

1. Monkeys live in tropical rainforest ecosystems.
2. Animals should be left alone in nature to take part in the balance of the ecosystem, and not upset it. A sudden increase of monkey population, probably due to destruction of rainforests which lead to lesser area of living for them. 
3. Monkeys take a huge part in seed dispersal among flesh fruit plants. Without them, it will greatly affect the conservation of the forests.
