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 ".

Jumping up before the elevator hits. After the cable snaps and the safety system fails, an elevator cab free-falls from a height
noname [10]

Answer:

a)   I = 2279.5 N s , b) F = 3.80 10⁵ N, c)   I = 3125.5 N s  and d)  F = 5.21 10⁵ N

Explanation:

The impulse is equal to the variation in the amount of movement.

    I =∫ F dt = Δp

     I = mv_{f} - m v₀

Let's calculate the final speed using kinematics, as the cable breaks the initial speed is zero

   v_{f}² = V₀² - 2g y

   v_{f}² = 0 - 2 9.8 30.0

   v_{f} = √588

   v_{f} = 24.25 m/s

a) We calculate the impulse

   I = 94 24.25 - 0

   I = 2279.5 N s

b) Let's join the other expression of the impulse to calculate the average force

   I = F t

  F = I / t

  F = 2279.5 / 6 10⁻³

  F = 3.80 10⁵ N

just before the crash the passenger jumps up with v = 8 m / s, let's take the moments of interest just when the elevator arrives with a speed of 24.25m/s down and as an end point the jump up to vf = 8 m / n

c)     I = m v_{f} - m v₀

       I = 94 8 - 94 (-24.25)

       I = 3125.5 N s

d)     F = I / t

       F = 3125.5 / 6 10⁻³

       F = 5.21 10⁵ N

Which of these helps you understand what people are saying to you? A. Interrupting them B. Looking away while they're speaking C
densk [106]
I believe the answer is <span> D. Thinking about what they're saying
Interrupting them will make them unable to finish their full message/thought to you. Looking away while they're speaking will make you reduce your attention and unable to process the information properly. Thinking about how you'll response also limit your attention to them and could make you cloud your opinion and misinterpret what's they're saying.</span>

A pendulum has a mass of 1.5 kg and starts at a height of 0.4 m. If it is released from rest, how fast is it going when it reach
ella [17]

Answer:

A. 2.8 m/s

Explanation:

Suppose that at the height of 0 m, the path of the pendulum is lowest.

If we use law of conservation of energy, the pendulum will have zero kinetic energy or K.E when it is at highest point, because K.E happens during movement of object and at the highest point all the energy will be P.E

                                                    P.E= mgh

Similarly, when the pendulum reaches at the lowest point, the height becomes zero and the P.E also becomes zero. Now all the energy will be K.E

                                               K.E= 1/2 m v^2

In question, we are asked about the speed as the pendulum  it reaches the lowest point of its path. Like we mentioned P.E will be zero at lowest point  because of zero height. And also we will use law of conservation of energy because no energy has been lost from system.

                                                  K.E=     P.E

                                       1/2 m v^2  =   mgh

Taking sq.root at both sides

                                                  v= Under root 2 gh

                                                   v=Under root 2x 9.8 m/s x0.4 m

                                                   v=Under root 7.84

                                                    v=2.8 m/sec

Hope it helps!

1) What proportion of U.S. energy today comes from renewable sources? What is the most prevalent form of renewable energy used i
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Eighteen percent

Explanation:

Eighteen percent of all electricity in the US is sourced from renewable energy ,which includes solar , wind, and hydroelectric dam.

Hydroelectric power is currently the largest producer of renewable electricity in the US, generating around 6.5% of the nation's total electricity  as well as 45.71% of the total renewable electricity generation.The United States is the fourth largest producer of hydroelectricity in the world after China, Canada and Brazil.
