Why was Democritus considered a philosopher and not a scientist?

Physics
1 answer:
Alika [10]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Democritus had no scientific instruments to extend the reach of his senses, so all of his experiments were just 'mind experiments', but because Democritus was a philosopher, he thought more into depth about why we humans are alive which led to the atomic theory.

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Energy gained by the second particle = 12Uo

Explanation:

Given Data;

Resistant force = 12F

Initial kinetic energy = Uo

Calculating the kinetic energy gained, we have;

u = f *r

where f= resistant force = 20F

r = initial kinetic energy = Uo

Therefore,

U = 12 * uo

  = 12 Uo

Therefore, energy gained by the second particle = 12Uo

If an alpha particle and a beta particle have the same energy, which particle will penetrate farther into an object?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Beta particle

Explanation:

If an alpha particle and a beta particle have the same energy, beta particle will penetrate farther into an object than alpha particle because;

1. In air, beta particles can travel a few hundred times farther than alpha particles.

2. Beta particles have more penetrating power than alpha particles.

3. Alpha particle can be absorbed or stopped by an inch or less 1-2 centimeters of air or a thin piece of tissue while beta particles can be stopped or absorbed by a thin layer of Aluminium.

4. Alpha particles loose all of their energies in a small volume easily that beta particles.

5. Beta particles can traveled a longer distance between 2-3 meters at a speed nearly equal to that of light than alpha particles which travel a distance between 2-4 cm at a speed approximately five percent the speed of light.
