C) alpha radiation seems to be the answer

Answer:

The correct answer is option (C) Alpha radiation

Explanation:

The types of radiation which are alpha, beta and gamma radiation have different penetration power.

Penetration power is the ability of each of the types of radiation to pass through matter. The more they penetrate, the more dangerous they will be.

Alpha has the least penetration power because it has large mass size

Gamma has the highest penetration power because it has no mass size

Beta has the medium penetration power because it has a small mass size

Therefore, the penetration power is affected by the size of mass they carry.

An elevator car has a mass of 750 kg, and its three passengers have a combined mass of 135 kg. If the elevator and its passenger
joja [24]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy is -1.80x10⁵ J.

Explanation:

The change in gravitational potential energy is given by:

\Delta E_{p} = E_{p_{f}} - E_{p_{i}}

\Delta E_{p} = mgh_{f} - mgh_{i}

Where:

"i" is for final and "f" for final

m: is the mass

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height

For the car and the passengers we have:

\Delta E_{p} = m_{T}g(h_{f} - h_{i}) = (750 kg + 135 kg)9.81 m/s^{2}(0 - 20.7 m) = -1.80 \cdot 10^{5} J      

The minus sign is because when the elevator car and the passengers are up they have a bigger gravitational potential energy than when they are in the ground.

Therefore, the change in gravitational potential energy is -1.80x10⁵ J.

I hope it helps you!

A mass m at the end of a spring vibrates with a frequency
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

m = 0.59 kg.

Explanation:

First, we need to find the relation between the frequency and mass on a spring.

The Hooke's law states that

F = -kx

And Newton's Second Law also states that

F = ma = m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}

Combining two equations yields

a = -\frac{k}{m}x

The term that determines the proportionality between acceleration and position is defined as angular frequency, ω.

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

And given that ω = 2πf

the relation between frequency and mass becomes

f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}.

Let's apply this to the variables in the question.

0.88 = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\0.60 = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m+0.68}}\\\frac{0.88}{0.60} = \frac{\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}}{\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m+0.68}}}\\1.4667 = \frac{\sqrt{m+0.68}}{\sqrt{m}}\\2.15m = m + 0.68\\1.15m = 0.68\\m = 0.59~kg

Suppose two vectors have unequal magnitudes. can their sum be zero? explain
GalinKa [24]

Answer;

-  No, Two vectors of unequal magnitude can never sum to zero.

Explanation;

-Two vectors of equal magnitude that are pointing in opposite directions will sum to zero.

-Two vectors of unequal magnitude can never sum to zero. If they point along the same line, since their magnitudes are different, the sum will not be zero.

- If they point in different directions, then you can always decompose one vector into two components: one along the other vector and one perpendicular to the other vector. In this case, the perpendicular component can never be eliminated.
