What do gamma rays consist of?

Physics
2 answers:
lina2011 [118]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

It consists of the shortest wavelength electromagnetic waves and so impacts the highest photon energy. So I'm guessing B- pure energy is the answer.

Explanation:

A gamma ray, or gamma radiation is a penetrating electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. This is what I got off google

There's no such thing as "pure energy".

Gamma rays are <em>electromagnetic waves</em> with very high frequency and very short wavelength.  They carry energy in the form of high-energy photons.

A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 88 ft/s. What is the height (in feet) of the cliff
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

the height (in feet) of the cliff is 121 ft

Explanation:

A stone hit the cliff with

speed, v = 88 ft/s

Acceleration, a= 32 ft/s^2

initial speed, u = 0 ft/s

height is h.

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations, Equation of motion describes change in velocity, depending on the acceleration and the distance traveled

so, writing the formula of Equation of motion:

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*h

substituting the appropriate values,

(88)^2 - 0 = 2*32* h

h=(88)^2 / 64

h= 121 ft

hence

the height (in feet) of the cliff is 121 ft

Ethan pushes a wooden box across a carpeted floor. Then he pushes the same box across a smooth marble floor. Why does Ethan find
AysviL [449]

Answer:

A. The box experiences more friction on the carpeted floor

Explanation:

Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object when it slides along a surface. The magnitude of the friction is given by

F=\mu mg

where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and \mu is the coefficient of friction, which depends on the type of material of the surface: the larger this coefficient, the stronger the friction, the more difficult is to push the box along the surface. Generally, a smooth surface has a lower coefficient of friction, while a rough surface has a larger coefficient of friction.

In this case, Ethan find it easier to push the box on the marble floor, because marble is smoother than the carpet and so friction is weaker, while for the carpeted floor the coefficient of friction is larger and so the friction is stronger, making it more difficult to push the box.

Three objects having the same mass begin at the same height, and all move down the same vertical distance H. One falls straight
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Work done in all the three cases will be the same.

Explanation:

1) The free falling body has only one force acting on it, the gravitational force. The work done on the body = mgH (Gravitational potential energy)

2) There are two forces acting on the body going down on a frictionless inclined plane - gravity and the normal force. The gravitational potential energy will be the same. The work done due to the normal force is zero, since the direction of the force is perpendicular to the displacement. Hence, total work done on the body = mgH

3) In the case of the body swinging on the end of a string, the change in gravitational potential enrgy will once again be the same since difference in height is H. The additional force on the body is the tension due to the string. But the work done due to this force is <em>zero, </em>since the displacement of the body is perpendicular to the tension. Therefore, the total work done on the body is once again mgH.
