Answer:

Explanation:

alpha

Alpha Radiation (α): A large, unstable nucleus decays to produce a smaller, more stable nucleus and an alpha particle (identical to a helium nucleus, ⁴₂He or ⁴₂α).

It has a very high ionizing energy and low penetrating power. It can be stopped by paper skin

Beta Radiation (β): A neutron in an unstable nucleus decays, forming a proton and emitting a beta (β) particle (identical to an electron, ⁰₋₁e or ⁰₋₁b) and resulting in a more stable nucleus.

It has high ionizing energy and penetrating power. It can be stopped by aluminium sheet

Gamma Radiation (γ): An unstable nucleus releases energy in the form of a high energy photon (no mass)to become more stable; this often accompanies other forms of radioactivity.

It has very high penetrating power and very low ionizing energy. It can be stopped by lead block.

b. A string is wrapped around a pulley of radius 0.05 m and moment of inertia 0.2 kg  m2. If the string is pulled with a force

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

f = 8 N

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Radius of the pulley = r = 0.05 m

Moment of inertia = (I) = 0.2 kg.m^{2}

Angular acceleration = ∝ = 2 rad/sec

Based on the above information

As we know that

Torque is

$= force \times radius$

$= f \times r$

And,

Torque is also

$= moment\ of\ inertia \times angular\ acceleration$

$= I \times \alpha$

So,

We can say that

$f \times r = I \times \alpha$

$f \times 0.05 = 0.2 \times 2$

0.05f = 0.4

f = 8 N

We simply applied the above formulas

How are mathematics and science related?

____ [38]

The relationship between math and science is very complicated, yet at the same time very simple. In fact all scientific equations are expressed into some form of mathematical equations. Science is a body of knowledge about the Universe. Mathematics is a language that can describe relationships and change in relationships in a rational way. Science generally uses mathematics as a tool to describe science and vice versa.
