Beta particles are smaller
Hunter-Best [27]3 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.

Please help im stuck and can't find the answer sheet ANYWHERE :(​ PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

All steps are 20 * 100  (break the rest into appropriate pieces)

You can multiply as follows

(2000) * ((3 * 60) + (2 * 60) + 60)

V = 2000 * 6 * 60) = 720,000 cm^3 = .72 m^3

.72 m^3 * 2400 kg / m^3 = 1728 kg

2. A ball tied to a pole by a rope swings in a circular path with a centripetal acceleration of 2.7 m/s. If the ball has a
Helga [31]

Answer: The diameter of the circular path is 2.96m

Explanation: centripetal acceleration = tangential speed^2 / radius of the circular path.

Centripetal acceleration = 2.7m/s^2

Tangential speed = 2.0m/s

Radius = 2.0^2 / 2.7 = 4/2.7

= 1.48m

Diameter = radius*2

= 1.48*2 = 2.96m.

Explain how a star's absorption spectrum and the concept of red shift help support the Big Bang Theory.
marta [7]

Answer:

Red shift supports the big bang theory. ... The light from distant galaxies is red shifted (this tells us the galaxies are moving away from us) and the further away the galaxy the greater the red shift (this tells us that the more distant the galaxy the faster it is moving). Constellations look like they are moving because earth is rotating on it's axis.

How much gravitational potential energy does a 45.2 kg object have when it is 21.9m above the ground?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is

Ep = m · g · h   Assuming that the acceleration is g = 10m/s²

Ep = 45.4 · 10 · 21.9 = 9,942.6 J
