In the last part of the experiment you need to investigate the behaviour of gamma radiation as it passes through air. A gamma so

urce is placed at a distance d = 0.064 m away from the GM detector and the counts per minute recorded C = 585.
As we expect gamma radiation not to be absorbed by air an inverse square law type behaviour should be seen, where the count rate will decrease with distance. To see if this is correct you need to plot a graph, with data collected at different distances. Looking at the data given above, what point would you plot on the x-axis?

Answer:

linear cart C Vs 1/R²  or log cart C Vs R

Explanation:

Gamma radiation is very high energy electromagnetic rays, but its behavior is the same as for all radiation. By the principle of conservation of energy after the radiation is emitted, it must be distributed on a spherical surface which determines the behavior of the inverse of the square.

In this experiment you are measuring the rate of counts by time (C), this must be the dependent variable since it is not controlled by the experimenter and on the other hand it measures the distance (X) this is the independent variable since it is the one that we can control.

To make a graph with this data, the counting rate must be plotted against the inverse of the squared distance (1/R²). On the Y axis the counts per second and the X 1 / R² axis, with this graph a line must be obtained.

Another graph that we can make on double logarithmic paper where the Y axis plotted the counting rate and on the X axis the distance, the slope should give -2.

            C == A / R²

        Log C = log A -2 log R

With either of the two graphs, the law of the inverse of the square is tested

Describe the kinetic molecular theory
tatuchka [14]
The kinetic theory of gases is a simple, historically significant model of the thermodynamic behavior of gases, with which many principal concepts of thermodynamics were established. The model describes a gas as a large number of identical submicroscopic particles, all of which are in constant, rapid, random motion

A cannonball is fired perfectly horizontally from the top of a 210 m tall cliff. It is fired with an initial velocity of 50 m/s.
pochemuha

Answer:

the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Explanation:

Given;

height of the cliff, h = 210 m

initial horizontal velocity of the cannonball, Ux = 50 m/s

initial vertical velocity of the cannonball, Uy = 0

The time for the cannonball to reach the ground is calculated as;

h = u_yt - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 210}{9.8} }\\\\t  = 6.55 \ s

The horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is calculated as;

X = U_x \times \ t\\\\X = 50 \times \ 6.55\\\\X = 327.5 \ m

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

A soccer player applies a force of 48.4 N to a soccer ball while kicking it. If the ball has
AlekseyPX

Answer:

C. 110 m/s2

Explanation:

Force = Mass x Acceleration

Since we have the force and the mass, we can rearrange this equation to solve for acceleration by dividing both sides by mass:

Force/Mass = (Mass x Acceleration)/Mass

Acceleration = Force/Mass

Now we just have to plug in our values and calculate!

Acceleration = 48.4/0.44

Acceleration = 110m/s/s

It is option C. 110 m/s2

Hope this helped!

Using diagram differentiate between solenoid and a toroid
damaskus [11]

The Toroid is form when you have wound conductor around circular body. In this case you have magnatic field inside the core but you dont have any poles because circular body dont have ends. This can be used where you want minimum flux leakage and dont need magnatic poles. i.e. toroidal inductor, toroidal transformer.


The Solenoid is forn when you wound conductor around body with limb. In this case magnatic field creates two poles N and S. Solenoids have little bit flux leakage. This used where you want magnatic poles and flux leakage is not an issue. i.e. relay, motors, electromagnates.

1 == toroid


2= solenoid
