Actually, alpha-particle is nothing but a "Nucleus of a Helium atom"
It is emitted by some radioactive substances, originally regarded as a ray

Hope this helps!

An object is thrown directly upwards from the ground at a velocity of 9ms. Recalling that the acceleration due to gravity is −gm
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Object is thrown with a velocity of u=9\ m/s

Acceleration due to gravity is -g (i.e. acting downward)

Vertical distance traveled by object is given by

v^2-u^2=2as  

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

at maximum height final velocity is zero

0-(9)^2=2\times (-g)\times (s)

s=\frac{81}{2g}=\frac{40.5}{g}\ m

time taken to reach maximum height

using

v=u+at

0=9-gt

t=\frac{9}{g}\ s

The ____ of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The slope of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.

Explanation:

In a position-time graph, the values on the x-axis represent the time, while the values on the y-axis represent the position of the object.

Velocity is defined as the ratio between the displacement of an object and the time taken:

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

However, we can see that this definition corresponds to the slope of the curve in a position-time graph. In fact:

\Delta s, the displacement, corresponds to the difference in position, so the difference between the values on the y-axis: \Delta s=y_2 -y_1

\Delta t, the time interval, corresponds to the difference in times, so the difference between the values on the x-axis: \Delta t= t_2 -t_1=x_2 -x_1

So, the velocity is

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}=\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}

which corresponds to the slope of the curve.

Describe three pieces of evidence that support the Big Bang theory
lisov135 [29]

Explanation :

According to astronomers, the whole universe is started with a giant explosion called as Big Bang. Big Bang theory shows that the universe is  extended from high density state.

There are some evidence for big bang as :

(1) There are some red shifts of different galaxies which means that the universe is expanding.  

(2) Due to the expanding of universe, some of the new elements are created like hydrogen, deuterium etc.

(3) Microwaves are detected by orbiting detectors.

All this parameters shows that big bang theory was correct.
