Answer:

The correct option is a

Explanation:

The alpha particle has the lowest penetrating power of the trio of alpha, beta and gamma particles and can be stopped by a sheet of paper and hence cannot penetrate a human skin. Beta particle has a higher penetrating power than alpha particle (some of it penetrates the human skin and some do not) while the gamma particle has the highest penetrating power (with all of it penetrating the human skin).

From the above description, it can be deduced that the alpha particle will stay and interact with the hand (because of its low penetrating power) as the remaining particles move through the skin.

Talja [164]
The first thing you should know is that the work is defined as:
 W = F * d
 Where
 F = force
 d = displacement
 We have then
 (a) the block
 F = (0.2) * (100) = 20
 d = 100
 W = (20) * (100) = 2000 ft.lbf
 (b) the man as the system.
 F = (0.2) * (100 + 180) = 56
 d = 100
 W = (56) * (100) = 5600 ft.lbf
 answer:
 (a) 2000 ft.lbf
 (b) 5600 ft.lbf

Infrared, visible light, then ultraviolet. Infrared is light that the human eye can not see and visible light is clearly light we can see then ultraviolet is has such a high frequency we can't see it either.

The lamp has a resistance of 10 ohms each resistor has a resistance of 10 ohms what is the total resistance of the circuit
prisoha [69]
Mark Brainliest please

Answer : if connected series, 20 ohms
And if connected parallel, answer will be less than 20 ohms

When resistors are wired in series, the total circuit resistance increases because each resistor contributes opposition to the circuit's current flow. Therefore if a 10 ohm resistor is placed in series with another 10 ohm resistor, the total resistance contributed by the two resistors is 20 ohms.

A very good insulator has an R-value of 29. The material's heat transfer coefficient is
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

b. 0.034

Explanation:

The heat transfer coefficient of a material (U-value) is equal to the reciprocal of its R-value, therefore:

U = \frac{1}{R}

where

R is the R-value of the material

For the insulator in this problem,

R = 29

Substituting into the equation, we find the heat transfer coefficient:

U=\frac{1}{29}=0.034
