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........

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 54.0 N at the s
butalik [34]

Answer:

m=5.51Kg

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is given by W=mg, so we can calculate its mass by doing m=W/g, which for our values is:

m=(54N)/(9.8m/s^2)=5.51Kg

<em>Nothing is being asked</em> about Io but if one wanted to know the weight <em>W'</em> of the watermelon there one just have to do:

W'=ma=(5.51Kg)(1.81m/s^2)=9.97N

A van is traveling with an initial velocity of 12 m/s. The driver takes a time of 45 seconds to speed up to a velocity of 20 m/s
Rufina [12.5K]
  • Initial velocity=u=12m/s
  • Final velocity=v=20m/s
  • Time=t=45s

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{20-12}{45}

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=\dfrac{8}{45}

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow Acceleration=0.1m/s^2

Now

  • Distance=s

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow v^2-u^2=2as

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow (20)^2-12^2=2(0.1)s

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 400-144=0.2s

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 256=0.2s

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow s=\dfrac{256}{0.2}

\\ \rm\hookrightarrow s=1280m
