<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Gamma rays

Gamma rays are the radioactive emissions with the most penetrating power.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Alpha, beta particles and gamma rays are the three main types of radiations emitted by unstable or radioactive isotopes.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Gamma radiation does not consist any particles but contain a photon of energy emitted from an unstable nucleus. Gamma radiation has no charge or mass, thus can travel farther through air than the other radiations.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Gamma is the most penetrating radiation with alpha being the least penetrating.</u></em>

PART ONE
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

1. F = 45,458.17 N

2. P = 12,800,000 W

Explanation:

Part 1. The thrust force is the sum of the forces on the air and on the fuel.

For the air, 107 kg of air is accelerated from 281 m/s to 679 m/s in 1 second.

F = ma

F = (107 kg) (679 m/s − 281 m/s) / (1 s)

F = 42,586 N

For the fuel, 4.23 kg of fuel is accelerated from 0 m/s to 679 m/s in 1 second.

F = ma

F = (4.23 kg) (679 m/s − 0 m/s) / (1 s)

F = 2,872.17 N

So the thrust on the jet is:

F = 42,586 N + 2,872.17 N

F = 45,458.17 N

Rounded to three significant figures, the force is 45,500 N.

Part 2. Power = work / time, and work = force × distance, so:

Power = force × distance / time

Power = force × velocity

P = (45,458.17 N) (281 m/s)

P = 12,773,745.77 W

Rounded to three significant figures, the power is 12,800,000 W.

An arrow is launched from a bow with an initial horizontal velocity of 40
Ivan

Answer:

V = (Vx^2 + Vy^2)^1/2 = (40^2 + 62^2)^1/2

V = 73.8 m/s

tan theta = Vy / Vx = 62/40 = 1.55

theta = 57.2 deg

A cart moves along a track at a velocity of 3.5 cm/s. When a force is applied to the cart, its velocity increases to 8.2 cm/s. I
Lorico [155]

Answer:

3.13cm/s²

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity u = 3.5cm/s

Final velocity v = 8.2cm/s

Time t = 1.5secs

Required

Acceleration of the cart a

To get that, we will use the equation of motion

v = u+at

Substitute the given parameters

8.2 = 3.5+1.5a

1.5a = 8.2-3.5

1.5a = 4.7

a = 4.7/1.5

a = 3.13cm/s²

Hence the acceleration to the cart is 3.13cm/s²
