Answer:

C. Gamma > beta > alpha

Explanation:

<u>Alpha rays</u> : These are positively charged and have mass 4u. These contain high energy Helium nucleus with 2 proton and 2 neutron.

These are heavier and maximum charged than beta and gamma particles.They have low velocity,least penetration power (can't travel more than 10-18 cm).

<u>Beta rays</u> : They are negatively charged and have negligible mass.

On emmission of beta particle, neutron is divided into proton and electron. They have less mass and very high velocity, so their penetrating power is more than alpha particles.

<u>Gamma rays</u>: These are parts of electromagnetic spectrum and travel with the speed of light (maximum velocity).Gamma rays do not have mass have maximum penetrating power.

In the galvanic cell Al(s) ǀ Al3+(aq, 1 M) ǀǀ Cu2+(aq, 1 M) ǀ Cu(s) which of the following changes will increase the cell potent

dangina [55]

The cathode electrode is copper. This means that the concentration of copper must be increased to increase the cell potential. This can be done by diluting the Al3+ solution. Increasing the surface area will not change the current but will increase the voltage. The answer is (D) I and III only.

In lab, you calculate the density of an iron rod to be 7.30 g/cm3. The accepted value

OLga [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

$P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\% \\$

From the question

actual density = 7.80 g/cm³

error = 7.30 - 7.80 = 0.5

We have

$p(\%) = \frac{0.5}{7.8} \times 100 \\ = 6.410256...$

We have the final answer as

What is required in order to determine wether or not an object moves

Stels [109]

Answer:

The answer would be Point of Reference.

In order to determine, whether an object has moved or not, a point of reference is required. The reference point is required to the measure the movement of the object, without a reference point the distance or displacement cannot be obtained. Hence, a reference point is very required to determine, whether the object has moved or not.
