Answer:

Gamma rays

Explanation:

The penetrating power of gamma rays is maximum as compared to beta and alpha rays. Gamma rays are nothing but the photons i.e. the packets of energy. Their energy range lies from kilo electron volts to 8 mega electron volts. It is emitted during the decay of many radioactive isotopes, such as U-238 and I-131. A large amount of energy is produced in decay of uranium 238.

Hence, the correct option is " gamma rays ".

At the same moment from the top of a building 3.0 × 10 2 m tall, one rock is dropped and one is thrown downward with an initial
Bess [88]
The equation that relates distance, velocities, acceleration, and time is,
                   d = V₀t + 0.5gt²
where d is distance,
V₀ is the initial velocity,
t is time, and 
g is the acceleration due to gravity (equal to 9.8 m/s²)

(1) Dropped rock,
                  (3 x 10² m ) = 0(t) + 0.5(9.8 m/s²)(t²)
The value of t from this equation is 24.73 s

(2) Thrown rock with V₀ = 26 m/s
                (3 x 10² m) = (26)(t) + 0.5(9.8 m/s²)(t²)
The value of t from the equation is 5.61 s

The difference between the tim,
        difference = 24.73 s - 5.61 s
          difference = 19.12 s

<em>ANSWER: 19.12 s</em>

What speed must an electron have if its momentum is to be the same as that of an x-ray photon with a wavelength of 0.30?
lorasvet [3.4K]

The momentum of the x-ray photon is p = h/lambda . Lambda is the wavelength (0.30nm=3x10^(-9)m) and h is Planck's constant,(h=6.62607004 × 10-34<span> m2 kg / s).The momentum is: 2.2 x 10^(-25).</span>

The momentum can be calculated also as: p=mv, where m is the mass of the electron and v is the speed.

So v=p/m,p is known,and also the mass of the electron (m=9.10938356 × 10-31<span> kilograms).</span>

v=2.2 x 10^(-25)/9.10938356 × 10-31<span> kilograms=0.24 x 10^6 m/s</span>

explain why a high-speed collision between two cars would cause more damage than a low-speed collision between the same two cars
9966 [12]
The force equation can easily prove this.  F=ma.  This states that the force on an object is equal to mass times acceleration.  If the mass stays the same and the velocity of the cars increases than that means there is a larger force.  This is because in both cases the cars are stopping in almost an instant and the times of the crashes are theoretically identical.  Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.  If the velocity is higher with the same amount of time than that means there is a higher acceleration.  If you plug a higher acceleration into the force equation then you wind up with a higher force and in turn a more damaging collision.
