The correct answer to the question is : A) Alpha particle

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, we have three radioactive decay particles which are known as alpha particle,beta particle and gamma ray.

Out of these radioactive radiations, alpha particle and beta particle are material particles. Alpha particle is the doubly charged helium nucleus while beta particle is the stream of electrons.

Alpha and beta being material particles, their penetration depth is very lower.

Gamma ray is an electromagnetic radiations. Hence, its penetration effect is the most.

Out of alpha and beta particles, the size of alpha particle is more as compared to the size of beta particle. Hence, the penetration effect of alpha particle is less as compared to beta particle.

Hence, alpha particle has the lowest penetrating ability.

A current of 0.4 A flows through a wire. How many electrons flow through a cross section of

Free_Kalibri [48]

9 × 10²¹ electrons flow through a cross section of the wire in one hour.

<h3>What is the relation between current and charge?</h3>

Mathematically, current = charge / time
In S.I. unit, Charge is written in Coulomb and time in second.

<h3>What is the amount of charge flown through a wire for one hour if it carries 0.4 A current?</h3>

Charge= current × time
Current= 0.4 A, time = 1 hour= 3600 s
Charge= 0.4× 3600

= 1440 C

<h3>How many numbers of electrons present in 1440C of charge?</h3>

One electron= 1.6 × 10^(-19) C
So, 1440 C = 1440/1.6 × 10^(-19)

= 9 × 10²¹ electrons

Thus, we can conclude that the 9 × 10²¹ electrons flow through a cross section of the wire in one hour.

1. When you have different masses for each sphere, how does the force that the larger mass sphere exerts on the smaller mass sph

aleksandrvk [35]

1) The forces are equal (Newton's third law of motion)

2) The force between the spheres will quadruple

3) The force of gravity exerted by the notebook on you is negligible

Explanation:

In this part of the problem, we want to compare the gravitational force exerted by the larger mass sphere on the smaller mass sphere to the force exerted by the smaller mass sphere to the larger mass sphere.

We can do this by using Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force (called </em><em>action</em><em>) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called </em><em>reaction</em><em>) on object A"</em>

In this problem, we can identify the larger mass sphere as object A and the smaller mass sphere as object B. This law tells us that the two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction: therefore, the gravitational force exerted by the larger mass sphere on the smaller mass sphere is equal to the force exerted by the smaller mass sphere to the larger mass sphere.

The magnitude of the gravitational force between the two spheres is given by

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

$m_1, m_2$ are the masses of the two spheres

r is the separation between the two spheres

In this problem, we are asked to find what happens when the distance between the spheres is halved, therefore when the new distance is

$r'=\frac{r}{2}$

Substituting into the equation, we find

$F'=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r'^2}=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{(r/2)^2}=4(\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2})=4F$

So, the force between the two spheres will quadruple.

We can give an estimate for the gravitational force exerted by your notebook on you.

As we said, the magnitude of the gravitational force is

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

Where:

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

Let's estimate the following:

$m_1 = 60 kg$ is your mass

$m_2 = 2 kg$ is the mass of the notebook

$r=1 m$ , assuming the notebook is at 1 metre from you

Substituting,

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(60)(2)}{1^2}=8.0\cdot 10^{-9} N$

We see that this force has an extremely small value: therefore, it is almost negligible in daily life, where other much stronger forces act on you.

A friend in your class tells you that she never uses hints when doing her Mastering homework. She says that she finds the hints

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A, B, and C are good reasons for my friend not to worry

Explanation:

The following reasons are reason not to worry

A. The only way to lose additional partial credit on a hint is by using the "give up" button or entering incorrect answers. Leaving the question blank will not cost you any credit (Regardless of whether you open a link or not, you will lose credit if you enter a wrong answer or if you give up on a question by hitting the "give up" button. Even after opening a hint, you can leave the question blank if the hint does not provide relevant hints or if the hint brings up more question. Once the question is left blank, you do not lose additional partial credit)

B. As an incentive for thinking hard about the problem, your instructor may choose to apply a small hint penalty, but this penalty is the same whether the hint simply gives information or asks another question (In a situation where you decide to use a hint, the instructor may have put a penalty for using the hint, so whether it asks a question or help in the solution of the question, as long as the hint is consulted, the hint penalty still applies)

C. Getting the correct answer to the question in a hint actually gives you some partial credit, even if you still can't answer the original question (An advantage of using hint is that you get some partial credit for using it if you answer the hint question correctly and fails to answer the original question)
