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

What is the mass of an object which has a force of 600 N acting on it and is travelling
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

<em>The mass of the object is 40 Kg</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object is:

F = m.a

Where:

a = acceleration of the object.

m = mass of the object.

The mass can be calculated by solving for m:

\displaystyle m=\frac{F}{a}

The object has a net force of F=600 N acting on it and travels at a=15\ m/s^2, thus the mas is:

\displaystyle m=\frac{600}{15}

m = 40 Kg

The mass of the object is 40 Kg

How long does it take an automobile traveling 66.7 km/h to become even with a car that is traveling in another lane at 52.7 km/h
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The  time taken is  t =  32.5 \  s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  speed  of  first car is  v_1  =  66.7 \ km/h  =  18.3 \  m/s

    The  speed  of  second car is v_2  =  52.7 \ km/h  =  14.64 \  m/s

   The  initial distance of separation is  d =  119 \ m

The distance covered by first car is mathematically represented as

     d_t =  d_i  +  d_f

Here  d_i is the initial distance which is  0 m/s

  and  d_f  is the final distance covered which is  evaluated as d_f  =  v_1 * t

So

     d_t =  0 \  m/s  +  (v_1 * t )

     d_t =  0 \  m/s  +  (18.3 * t )

The distance covered by second  car is mathematically represented as

     d_t =  d_i  +  d_f

Here  d_i is the initial distance which is  119 m

  and  d_f  is the final distance covered which is  evaluated as d_f  =  v_2* t

       d_t =  119  + 14.64 *  t

Given that the two car are now in the same position we have that

    119  + 14.64 *  t  =   0   +  (18.3 * t )

   t =  32.5 \  s

Three masses are located in the x-y plane as follows: a mass of 6 kg is located at (0 m, 0 m), a mass of 4 kg is located at (3 m
Natali [406]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

D. (1m, 0.5m)

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The center of mass (or center of gravity) of a system of particles is the point where the weight acts when the individual particles are replaced by a single particle of equivalent mass. For the three masses, the coordinates of the center of mass C(x, y) is given by;

x = (m₁x₁ + m₂x₂ + m₃x₃) / M       ----------------(i)

y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂ + m₃y₃) / M       ----------------(ii)

Where;

M = sum of the masses

m₁ and x₁ = mass and position of first mass in the x direction.

m₂ and x₂ = mass and position of second mass in the x direction.

m₃ and x₃ = mass and position of third mass in the x direction.

y₁ , y₂ and y₃ = positions of the first, second and third masses respectively in the y direction.

From the question;

m₁ = 6kg

m₂ = 4kg

m₃ = 2kg

x₁ = 0m

x₂ = 3m

x₃ = 0m

y₁ = 0m

y₂ = 0m

y₃ = 3m

M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃ = 6 + 4 + 2 = 12kg

Substitute these values into equations (i) and (ii) as follows;

x = ((6x0) + (4x3) + (2x0)) / 12

x = 12 / 12

x = 1 m  

y = (6x0) + (4x0) + (2x3)) / 12

y = 6 / 12

y = 0.5m

Therefore, the center of mass of the system is at (1m, 0.5m)

What is the difference between flashing point, boiling point and melting point​
sp2606 [1]
<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>Melting point</u> is defined as the temperature at which solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium. It is the temperature at which a solid changes state from solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure.
  • <u>Boiling poin</u>t is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure. It is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid into a gas.
  • <u>The flash point </u>of a flammable liquid or volatile liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air. At this temperature the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed.
