If an alpha particle and a beta particle have the same energy, which particle will penetrate farther into an object?

Physics
1 answer:
lidiya [134]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Beta particle

Explanation:

If an alpha particle and a beta particle have the same energy, beta particle will penetrate farther into an object than alpha particle because;

1. In air, beta particles can travel a few hundred times farther than alpha particles.

2. Beta particles have more penetrating power than alpha particles.

3. Alpha particle can be absorbed or stopped by an inch or less 1-2 centimeters of air or a thin piece of tissue while beta particles can be stopped or absorbed by a thin layer of Aluminium.

4. Alpha particles loose all of their energies in a small volume easily that beta particles.

5. Beta particles can traveled a longer distance between 2-3 meters at a speed nearly equal to that of light than alpha particles which travel a distance between 2-4 cm at a speed approximately five percent the speed of light.

The per-unit impedance of a single-phase electric load is 0.3. The base power is 500 kVA, and the base voltage is 13.8 kV. a. Fi
Leto [7]

Answer:

114.26

Explanation:

a)Formula for per unit impedance for change of base is

Zpu2= Zpu1×(kV1/kV2)²×(kVA2/kVA1)

Zpu2: New per unit impedance

Zpu1: given per unit impedance

kV1: give base voltage

kV2: New bas votlage

kVA1: given bas power

kVA2: new base power

In the question

Zpu2=??

Zpu1= 0.3

kV2=24kV

kV1= 13.8 kV

kVA2= 1MVA ×1000= 1000 kVA

kVA1=500kVA

Zpu2= 0.3(13.8/24)²×(1000/500)

Zpu2= 0.198

b) to find ohmic impedance we will first calculate base value of impedance(Zbase). So,

Zbase= kV²/MVA

  Zbase= 13.8²/(500/1000)

  Zbase=380.88

Now that we have base value of impedance, Zbase, we can calculate actual ohmic value of impedance(Zactual) by using the following formula:

Zpu=Zactual/Zbase

0.3= Zactual/380.88

Zactual= 114.26 ohms

Group 7A of the periodic table contains the?
olga2289 [7]

The correct answer is A. Most reactive non metals.

Firstly if some one knows how to read the periodic table he would have no confusion in deciding whether group 7 has metals or non metals. Group 7 contains non metals so basically we can easily cancel out two options of metals.

Secondly group 7 non metals are the most reactive non metals as they need only one electron in order to complete their valence shell and become stable.

Science and technology are closely related, but not the same. Which of the following is most likely a result of technology, not
zavuch27 [327]

The answer is invention. Technology is vital to science for purposes of dimension, data gathering, treatment of samples, calculation, transport to research sites, defense from hazardous materials, and communication. So technology is new tools and techniques that are being industrialized that make it conceivable to progress various lines of scientific investigation.

What does the geology of the two continents indicate about past events in Earth history?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Rocks tell us a great deal about the Earth's history. Igneous rocks tell of past volcanic episodes and can also be used to age-date certain periods in the past. Sedimentary rocks often record past depositional environments (e.g deep ocean, shallow shelf, fluvial) and usually contain the most fossils from past ages.
