Gamma rays consist of pure energy. Beta particles consist of one electron that is released at high speeds from an unstable nucleus and an alpha particle is a helium nucleus.

We know that Gamma rays consist of pure energy because, during Gamma decay, the atomic and mass numbers remain unchanged. Therefore, only energy is emitted.

Gamma rays are weakly ionising, however, they are strongly penetrating and thick concrete or a few centimetres of aluminium is needed to stop them.

A balloon contains 3300 mL of helium gas at 63 °C. What is the final volume, in milliliters, of the gas when the temperature cha
Nesterboy [21]

The final volume : 3.4 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Charles's Law  

When the gas pressure is kept constant, the gas volume is proportional to the temperature  

\tt \dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}

V₁=3300 ml

T₁=63 + 273=336 K

T₂=78+273=351 K

the final volume :

\tt V_2=\dfrac{V_1.T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{3300\times 351}{336}\\\\V_2=3447.3~ml\rightarrow 2~sig.~fig.\rightarrow 3.4~L

You want to minimize an objects thermal energy loss on a cold day. How does heat energy transfer affect thermal energy loss?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

4- A material that transfers heat energy more easily than another material will experience a greater rate of thermal energy loss than an object that does not transfer heat energy easily.

Explanation:

Thermal energy loss has to do with loss of heat energy by a body to another body or its environment. The aim of the process is usually the attainment of thermal equilibrium between the body and its environment.

On a cold day, a material that transfers thermal energy more easily will loose thermal energy faster than an object that does not transfer thermal energy. The rate of heat transfer of a body determines its rate of loss of thermal energy.
