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.

As shown in the diagram, two forces act on an object. The forces have magnitudes F1 = 5.7 N and F2 = 1.9 N. What third force wil

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Second option 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from

F1->

Explanation:

Observe the attached image. We must calculate the sum of all the forces in the direction x and in the direction y and equal the sum of the forces to 0.

For the address x we have:

$-F_3sin(b) + F_1 = 0$

For the address and we have:

$-F_3cos(b) + F_2 = 0$

The forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ are known

$F_1 = 5.7\ N\\\\F_2 = 1.9\ N$

We have 2 unknowns ( $F_3$ and b) and we have 2 equations.

Now we clear $F_3$ from the second equation and introduce it into the first equation.

$F_3 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}$

Then

$-\frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)+F_1 = 0\\\\F_1 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)\\\\F_1 = F_2tan(b)\\\\tan(b) = \frac{F_1}{F_2}\\\\tan(b) = \frac{5.7}{1.9}\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{5.7}{1.9}) = b\\\\b= 72\°\\\\m = b +90\\\\\m= 162\°$

Then we find the value of $F_3$

$F_3 = \frac{F_1}{sin(b)}\\\\F_3 =\frac{5.7}{sin(72\°)}\\\\F_3 = 6.01 N$

Finally the answer is 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from

F1->

A child throws a ball vertically upward to a friend on a balcony 28 m above him. The friend misses the ball on its upward flight

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

$t=1.9 sec$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height $h=28m$

Time $t=3s$

Generally the Newton's equation for Initial velocity upward is mathematically given by

$s=ut+\frtac{1}{2}at^2$

$28=3u-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*3^2$

$u=24.03m/s$

Generally the velocity at elevation and depression occurs as ball arrives and passes through S=28

$v=\sqrt{24.03-2*9.8*28}$

$v=5.35m/s and -5.35m/s$

Generally the Newton's equation for time to reach initial velocity is mathematically given by

$v=u+at$

$5.35=24.03-9.8t$

$t=\frac{28.03-5.35}{9.8}$

$t=1.9 sec$

What would a series circuit be used for?

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a series circuit would be an odd choice to power a battery or light a lamp when a direct would be much more efficient, and it's not converting types of energy, so C is the best possible answer
