Answer:
The incorrect statement is <em>A. Alpha and beta particles pose little or no hazard to human health.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Alpha particle - the nucleus of a helium atom, made up of two neutrons and two protons with a charge of +2. Certain radioactive nuclei emit alpha particles. Alpha particles generally carry more energy than gamma or beta particles, and deposit that energy very quickly while passing through tissue. Alpha particles can be stopped by a thin layer of light material, such as a sheet of paper, and cannot penetrate the outer, dead layer of skin. Therefore, they do not damage living tissue when outside the body. When alpha-emitting atoms are inhaled or swallowed, however, they are especially damaging because they transfer relatively large amounts of ionising energy to living cell.
Beta particles - electrons ejected from the nucleus of a decaying atom. Although they can be stopped by a thin sheet of aluminium, beta particles can penetrate the dead skin layer, potentially causing burns. They can pose a serious direct or external radiation threat and can be lethal depending on the amount received. They also pose a serious internal radiation threat if beta-emitting atoms are ingested or inhaled.
Therefore, <em>alpha and beta particles do pose affect the health of human beings.</em>
Answer:
128 m^3
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the rectangular prism base is (8 m)(8 m)(10 m), or 640 m^3.
The triangular 'cap' has a base area of 64 m^2 and a height of 6 m, and thus a volume of (1/3)(64 m^2)(6 m) = 128 m^3
Answer:
Your answer would be 2
Step-by-step explanation:
15 - 6(x+1) =12
15- 6*x +6*1 = 12
15 - 6x + 6 = 12
15 - 6 + 6x = 12
9 + 6x = 12
9 - 9 + 6x = 12 - 9
6x = 3
x = 2
For a square, with a length of 8x-2, the height must be the same in order for this to be a "square". The area of a square is the height multiplied by the length, so (8x-2)^2 will be your answer. Simplified it will be 64x^2 - 16x + 4.
Answer:
Step 1: It should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)
Step-by-step explanation:
He made the mistake in Step 1: m∠m + m∠n + m∠p = 180°
It should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 180°
Then only, he can equate it with m∠o + m∠p in step 3.
So, m∠p is the exterior angle and m∠m and m∠n are the two remote interior angles.
m∠o is the adjacent angle to m∠p. They form a linear pair.
Hence, the correct answer is Step 1.
