Explain the following statement: In a windowless proportional counter, the output pulse height from an alpha particle source wil

l increase with increasing alpha energy whereas for beta particles the opposite is true.

-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago

Answer / Explanation:

Regarding α and β Particles in Windowless Counter, the range of α particles is lower than β particles. Alpha particles typically have range less than the dimensions of the gas chamber so that proportional  counters are able to easily record. Hence,  with almost 100% efficiency, each particle which enters the so called active volume.

Then, since the pulse height spectra depends on the number of ion pairs which have formed,  an aplha particle with higher energy creates more ion pairs in the chamber.  However, beta particle range usually exceeds the dimensions of the chamber and therefore  most of the betas hit the walls where they deposit energy. Then, fewer ion pairs are formed  because very few β’s give their energy to the bulk gas.

Two substances, A and B, initially at different temperatures, come into contact and reach thermal equilibrium. The mass of subst
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of substance A is 1.16 J/g

Explanation:

The substances A and B come to a thermal equilibrium, therefore, the heat given by the hotter substance B is absorbed by the colder substance A.

The equation becomes:

Heat release by Substance B = Heat Gained by Substance A

The heat can be calculated by the formula:

Heat = mCΔT

where,

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = difference in temperature of substance

Therefore, the equation becomes:

(mCΔT) of A = (mCΔT) of B

<u>FOR SUBSTANCE A:</u>

m = 6.01 g

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = 46.1°C - 20°C = 26.1°C

C = ?

<u>FOR SUBSTANCE B:</u>

m = 25.6 g

ΔT = Initial Temperature - Final Temperature

ΔT = 52.2°C - 46.1°C = 6.1°C

C = 1.17 J/g

Therefore, eqn becomes:

(6.01 g)(C)(26.1°C) = (25.6 g)(1.17 J/g)(6.1°C)

C = (182.7072 J °C)/(156.861 g °C)

<u>C = 1.16 J/g</u>

lakkis [162]

Answer:

both statement is correct

Explanation:

Flywheel engine uses to reduce fluctuations.

And                                                                

FlexPlate is a metal disk that connects the output from the engine to the input of the torque converter. This will replace the flywheel
