<span>The correct option is C. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. This statement is known as law of conservation of energy, and it implies that whenever a certain form of energy does change, the loss of this form of energy must have converted into an another type of energy. A typical example is an object falling to the ground: initially, the object has gravitational potential energy. As the object falls down, it loses potential energy (since its altitude from the grounf decreases), but it acquires kinetic energy (because its velocity increases). In this example, potential energy has converted into kinetic energy, but the total energy of the object has remained constant.</span>
"Gamma rays" is the name that we call the shortest of all electromagnetic waves. They're shorter than radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, heat waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays. They extend all the way down to waves that are as short as the distance across an atom.
Being so short, they carry lots of energy. They can penetrate many materials, and they can damage living cells and DNA. They're dangerous.
The sun puts out a lot of gamma radiation. The atmosphere (air) filters out a lot of it, otherwise there couldn't even be any life on Earth.
As soon as astronauts fly out of the atmosphere, they need a lot of shielding from gamma rays.
You know the precautions we take when we're around X-rays. The same precautions apply around gamma rays, only a lot more so.
It's only in the past several years that we've learned how to MAKE gamma rays without blowing things up. Also, how to control them, and how to use them for medical and industrial applications.
Answer:
the weight of the object decreases when it is taken from the Earth to the Moon
Explanation:
The weight of an object is defined as the product of the mass of the object with the acceleration due to gravity of the Planet.
where,
W = weight of the object
m = mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity on the planet
The mass of an object remains constant everywhere in the universe. Therefore, the weight is directly proportional to the value of acceleration due to gravity.
The value of acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is lesser than its value on the Earth.
<u>Hence, the weight of the object decreases when it is taken from the Earth to the Moon </u>
Answer: 0 m
Explanation:
Let's begin by stating clear that movement is the change of position of a body at a certain time. So, during this movement, the body will have a trajectory and a displacement, being both different:
The trajectory is the <u>path followed by the body</u> (is a scalar quantity).
The displacement is <u>the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position</u> (is a vector quantity).
According to this, in the description Matthew's home is placed at 0 on a number line, then he moves 10 m to the park (this is the distance between the park and Mattew's home), then 15 m to the movie theatre until he finally comes back to his home (position 0). So, in this case we are talking about the <u>path followed by Matthew</u>, hence <u>his trajectory</u>.
However, if we talk about Matthew's displacement, we have to draw a straight line between Matthew's initial position (point 0) to his final position (also point 0).
Now, being this an unidimensional problem, the displacement vector for Matthew is 0 meters.
10.3
Explanation:
Step 1:
The pressure exerted by any liquid column of height, h density d is given by the formula P = h * d * g
Step 2:
It is given that one atmosphere pressure pushes up 76.0 cm of mercury, we need to calculate the level of water that will be pushed by the same pressure.
Step 3:
Since the pressure pushing up mercury and water is the same
* 
* g = 
* 
* g
= 
= (13.6 g/cm * 76 cm)/1 g/cm = 1033.6 cm
Step 4:
Now we need to express the answer in meters.
1 m = 100 cm.
1033.6 cm = 10.336 m
This can be rounded off to 10.3 m
