A single sheet of paper can stop an alpha particle
aleksklad [387]3 years ago
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

How do you find distance from average velocity and time
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Calculate the total distance travelled by the object - its motion is represented by the velocity-time graph below.

Here, the distance travelled can be found by calculating the total area of the shaded sections below the line.

½ × base × height.

½ × 4 × 8 = 16 m 2

(10 – 4) × 8 = 48 m 2

Which of the following creates an adhesive force that prevents separation of the parietal and visceral pleurae during ventilatio
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Negative intrapleural pressure is the correct answer

Explanation:

Intrapleural pressure is more subatmospheric in the uppermost part of the thorax than in the lowermost parts in the standing horse.

Air moves from a region of higher pressure to one of lower pressure.  Therefore, for air to be moved into or out of the lungs, a pressure difference between the atmosphere and the alveoli must be established. If there is no pressure difference, no airflow will occur.

Under normal circumstances, inspiration is accomplished by causing alveolar pressure to fall below atmospheric pressure. When the mechanics of breathing are being discussed, atmospheric pressure is conventionally referred to as 0 cm H2O, so lowering alveolar pressure below atmospheric pressure is known as negative-pressure breathing.

How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools down from 71'c to 18'c?
maria [59]
The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference \Delta T is
Q=mC_s \Delta T
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
C_s = 4.18 J/g^{\circ}C is the specific heat capacity of water
\Delta T =71^{\circ}C-18^{\circ}C=53^{\circ} is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
Q=(432 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(53^{\circ}C)=9.57 \cdot 10^4 J
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.
