Because the mass of an alpha particle is significantly greater than the mass of a beta particle  <span />

An 'alpha particle' is the same thing as the nucleus of a helium atom ... 
a little bundle made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

A 'beta' particle is an electron.

The mass of an alpha particle is more than 7,000 times the mass of 
an electron, so it certainly takes more energy to get it moving.

A ladder rests against a vertical wall at a point 12 feet from the floor. The angle formed by the ladder and the floor is 63°. C
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

length of the ladder is 13.47 feet

base of wall to latter distance 6.10 feet

angle between ladder and the wall is 26.95°

Explanation:

given data

height h  = 12 feet

angle 63°

to find out

length of the ladder ( L) and length of wall to ladder ( A) and angle between  ladder and the wall

solution

we consider here angle between base of wall and floor is right angle

we apply here trigonometry rule that is

sin63 = h/L

put here value

L = 12 / sin63

L = 13.47

so length of the ladder is 13.47 feet

and

we can say

tan 63 = h / A

put here value

A = 12 / tan63

A = 6.10

so base of wall to latter distance 6.10 feet

and

we say here

tanθ = 6.10 / 12

θ = 26.95°

so angle between ladder and the wall is 26.95°

How long would it take to drive to alpha centauri (4.4 light-years away)?
oee [108]
A light year is a unit of length that is used to espress distances that are astronomical. It is equivalent to 5.9 trillion miles or 9.5 quadrillion meters. Light year is defined by the distance a beam of light would travel in one year. One light year is equivalent to the distance that light would travel in vacuum on one Julian year or 365 days as defined by the IAU or the  International Astronomical Union. So, one light year is traveled for 1 year here on Earth. So, in order to drive to the alpha centauri, you would take about 4.4 years to do so.
