Since the radiation has no mass .It is Gamma radiation.

Step by Step Explanation:

Characteristics of Gamma radiation are as follows:

  • Gamma radiations are chargeless.
  • It is Electromagnetic wave having a very short wavelength.
  • It is not effected by the electric or magnetic field.
  • It has velocity equal to light in vaccum .
  • It has a very high intensity and can penetrate long distances.
  • It has a very low ionizing power. i.e. it does not ionize the medium in whic it travels.

Gamma radiation has proved itself to be very useful in radioactive treatment of cancer due to its high penetrating power.

Starting by the top, the yellow sphere is an Amino Acid. On it's left is a Protein, formed by a chain of Amino Acids. To the right of the Amino acid it is a tRNA, the responsible for carring the Amino Acids. Under the tRNA, the arrow pointing to a red part is showing a Ribossome. Under the Ribossome box, the arrow is point to the A site of the Ribossome; and on the other side is the E site of Ribossome. At the bottom, the arrow that is pointing to the bottom part of the Ribossome is pointing to a Codon. And the last one at the left bottom site is pointing to the mRNA.

<h3>What is translation?</h3>

Translation involves "decoding" a messenger RNA (mRNA) and using its information to produce a polypeptide or chain of amino acids. Overall, a polypeptide is basically a protein (with the technical difference that some large proteins are made up of many polypeptide chains).

Which of the following best describes the usefulness of a simulation as an
Margarita [4]

The answer is it is an exact substitute for a living thing or real-life event.

Explanation:

Simulation is the process of imitation of the operation or system that represents its operation over time. it can be used to explore changes in a low risk environment. The simulation is used in many applications.

It is the re-creation of a real world process in a controlled environment. They are used for scientific exploration, for safety tests, and to create graphics for video games and movies.

Simulation software is used to design equipment because the product will be close to design without expensive in process.

The simulation process comes under three types live, virtual, and constructive.

Live: simulation involving real people operating real system

virtual: simulation involving real people operating simulated system.

Constructive: simulation involving simulated people operating simulated systems.

What is the BEST example of Newton's 1st law of motion?
Alla [95]

Answer:

All objects that have balanced forces acting on them must be stationary is an example of Newton's first law of motion.

Explanation:

  • Newton's First law of motion is the Law of inertia, that states a body continues to be in state opf rest or state of motion untill an unbalanced force acts on it.
  • So if a body has all balanced forces acting on it then it will continue to remain in state of rest i.e. it will be stationary.
  • The first example describes Newton's third law, that every action has equal and opposite reaction.
  • The second and third example supports Newton's Second Law, the law of momentum which states that the rate of change oif momentum is directly proportional to the force applied on the body and the mass of the body.
