Beta particles are smaller
Hunter-Best [27]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Beta particles are smaller.

Explanation:

When an unstable nuclei will break into stable nuclei then the nucleus energy of the unstable nuclei will be given to the the fast moving beta particles.

These beta particles are same as electron as they are negatively charged whose magnitude of charge is same as that of electrons charge.

so we have

\beta^- = -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

now since electrons are smaller in size as we compare it with alpha particles so we can say that the beta particles can penetrate to more depth then the alpha particles

so here correct answer would be

Beta particles are smaller.

Nuclear fission formula by the looks of it. Possibly how Professor Lisa Meitner realised that she had split the atomic nucleus. The Xenon and the Strontium (Xe and Sr) would presumably show up in a radio chemical assaying test at her university. 
A few years later, Professor J Robert Oppenheimer watched a nuclear test somewhere near Los Alamos, US and lamented "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds". Shortly thereafter, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were razed to the ground and annihilated by nuclear bombs. Professor Meitner, probably inadvertently, had got the keys to the doors to "nuclear hell", and JRO ended up turning them. Something like that maybe, and a very harrowing and tumultuous period in human history.
Note in the fission equation, that out come two neutrons. They go off and produce a similar fission in another U235 nucleus into a chain reaction which, i not moderated by, say, Boron, can end up as a "mushroom cloud".

A 2.50-m segment of wire carries 1000 A current and feels a 4.00-N repulsive force from a parallel wire 5.00 cm away. What is th
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The current is  I_b  =  400 \ A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  length of the segment is  l  =  2.50  \  m

     The current is  I_a  =  1000 \ A

     The force felt is  F  =  4.0 \  N

        The distance of the second wire is  d =  5.0 \ cm  = 0.05 \  m

Generally the current on the second wire is mathematically represented as

        I_b  =  \frac{2 \pi * r * F }{ l *  \mu_o  *  I_a }

Here  \mu_o is the permeability of free space with value  \mu_o =  4 \pi * 10^{-7} \ N/A^2

=>      I_b  =  \frac{2 * 3.142  *  0.05 *  4 }{ 2.50  *  4\pi *10^{-7}  * 1000 }

=>      I_b  =  400 \ A

1<br> Verify the identity. Show your work.<br><br> cot θ ∙ sec θ = csc θ
Fittoniya [83]
To verify the identity, we can make use of the basic trigonometric identities:
cot θ = cos θ / sin θ 
sec θ = 1 / cos <span>θ
csc </span>θ = 1 / sin θ<span>

Using these identities:
</span>cot θ ∙ sec θ = (cos θ / sin θ ) (<span> 1 / cos </span><span>θ)
</span>
We can cancel out cos <span>θ, leaving us with
</span>cot θ ∙ sec θ = 1 / sin θ
cot θ ∙ sec θ = = csc <span>θ</span>
