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.

Confirm if this is correct or not. If it isn't correct, please correct it.

Answer:

d = 421.83 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height, h = 396.9 m

Horizontal speed, v = 46.87 m/s

We need to find the distance traveled by the ball horizontally. Let t is the time taken by the ball. Using second equation of motion for vertical direction. So,

396.9=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 t^2\\\\t=9\ s

Now d is the distance covered by the cannonball. So,

d=vt\\\\d=46.87\times 9\\\\d=421.83\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of newton's laws explains why your hands get red when you press them hard against a wall
kirill115 [55]
The Newton’s law that explains why the hands get red when you press them hard against a wall is Newton’s third law. When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite direction on the first body.
