If an unshielded sample of radioactive material emits alpha particles, what effect will it have on a person sitting in the next

room? (Assume the wall between rooms is composed of concrete.)
None, because the wall will block the radiation.
The radiation will travel through the person’s body.
None, because the radiation will bounce off the person’s body.
The radiation will be totally absorbed by the person’s body.

I think the correct answer would be none, because the wall will block the radiation. Alpha particles can only penetrate a very thin sheet of paper and is totally blocked by the concrete. As these particles move through the air, it loses energy from the collisions with air molecules making it less penetrating.<span />

258.3 kg + 271.23 kg + 253 kg
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is 783 kg.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first must simply add all three values together. We can perform this operation because all three values have the same units of kilograms.

When we add, we get:

258.3 + 271.23 + 253 = 782.53 kg

However, this answer does not have the correct number of significant digits. When adding and subtracting values, we round our final answer to the least amount of decimal places of the numbers we were adding. In this case, that is 0 decimal places, because 253 doesn’t have a decimal place.

Therefore, we should round 782.53 to the ones place. Since the next number is a 5, we round up.

This gives us 783 kg, which is our final answer.

Hope this helps!

Lena [83]
The relationship between Fahrenheit and Celsius is:

°F = 1.8*°C + 32

If we differentiate the given expression to find the relationship between a unit change of °F and °C, we get:
Δ°F = 1.8*Δ°C

This means that a change in 1 degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to a change of 1.8 degrees Celsius. Moreover, a one degree change in Fahrenheit is the same as a one-degree change on the Rankine scale, so, ranking the scales in order from higher change to lower change:

1) Fahrenheit = Rankine
2) Celsius = Kelvin
