Answer:

<u><em>The three different type of radiations are:</em></u>

1) Alpha (α) radiation

2) Beta (β) radiation

3) Gamma (\gamma) radiation

<u><em>Penetrating Ability:</em></u>

Penetrating Ability of gamma rays is the highest.

That of Beta Rays is higher.

That of Alpha Rays is lowest

Answer:

1. Alpha radiation

2. Beta radiation

3. Gamma radiation

Explanation:

Penetration Ability:

ALPHA: being relative heavier in mass they have less penetration power.They can penetrate thin layer of solid such as Mica paper. They are stopped by an aluminum foil that is 0.1mm thick

2:BETA:being relative lighter in mass their penetrating power is greater than alpha rays

3: GAMMA:their penetrating power is much greater than other two rays....

Hope it will helps you........

Calculate the change in entropy as 0.3071 kg of ice at 273.15 K melts. (The latent heat of fusion of water is 333000 J / kg)
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

374.39 J/K

Explanation:

Entropy: This can be defined as the degree of disorder or randomness of a substance.

The S.I unit of entropy is J/K

ΔS = ΔH/T ..................................... Equation 1

Where ΔS = entropy change, ΔH = Heat change, T = temperature.

ΔH = cm................................... Equation 2

Where,

c = specific latent heat of fusion of water = 333000 J/kg, m = mass of ice = 0.3071 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

ΔH = 333000×0.3071

ΔH = 102264.3 J.

Also, T = 273.15 K

Substitute into equation 1

ΔS = 102264.3/273.15

ΔS = 374.39 J/K

Thus, The change in entropy = 374.39 J/K

Help with both questions I’ll mark brainliest
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

(1) A sound wave a mechanical wave because mechanical waves rely on particle interaction to transport their energy, they cannot travel through regions of space that are void of particles. Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum. These particle-to-particle, mechanical vibrations of sound conductance qualify sound waves as mechanical waves. Sound energy, or energy associated with the vibrations created by a vibrating source, requires a medium to travel, which makes sound energy a mechanical wave. The answer is(B) it travels in the medium.

(2) An ocean wave is an example of a mechanical transverse wave

The compression is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are crowded together. The rarefaction is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are spread apart. The answer is (C) Compression.

An archer puts a 0.30-kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m. Assuming th
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

41.74 m/s

Explanation:

The energy used to draw the bowstring = the kinetic energy of the arrow.

Fd = 1/2mv²................................ Equation 1

Where F = force, d = distance move string, m = mass of the arrow, v = speed of the arrow.

make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2Fd/m)...................... Equation 2

Given: F = 201 N, m = 0.3 kg, d = 1.3 m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = √(2×201×1.3/0.3)

v = √(1742)

v = 41.74 m/s.

Hence the arrow leave the bow with a speed of 41.74 m/s
