A single sheet of paper can stop an alpha particle

3 0

Answer:

d) Single sheet of paper

Explanation:

Since alpha particles are heaviest particles that comes out from nucleus during the radioactive decay so out of all these are having least energy.

So here in this we can say that penetration power of alpha particles is least and it can be stopped by least thickness due to less penetration power and least energy

So here we can say that alpha particles can be stopped just by using the least thickness.

So out of all given options we can have

d) Single sheet of paper

zhenek [66]
So, C = kE°A/d

putting the values,

C
= 3.8 × 8.85×10^(-12) × 3.14×1.5×1.5 × 10^(-6)/0.43 × 10^(-3)

so, 1.02 × 10^(-13)

so the most appropriate answer is 2 ...that is
1.4 × 10^(-13) ....answer !!

An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that receives 750kJ of heat from a source at 400K and produces 250kJ of net wo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

the claim is not valid or reasonable.

Explanation:

In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:

η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂

where,

η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?

T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K

T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K

Therefore,

η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K

η(max) = 0.25 = 25%

Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:

η = W/Q

where,

W = Net Work = 250 KJ

Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ

Therefore,

η = 250 KJ/750 KJ

η = 0.333 = 33.3 %

η > η(max)

The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.

<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>
