<em>Alpha radiation:</em>  Particles.  Each alpha particle is a little bundle of 2 protons and 2 neutrons ... identical to the nucleus of a Helium atom.

Charge  . . . +2 elementary charges

Mass  . . . 4 Atomic Mass Units

Relative penetrating power  . . . low

The effect an electric field would have on it . . . Since the alpha particle has a positive charge, it's repelled by other positive charges, and attracted toward negative charges.

<em>Beta radiation</em>:  Particles.  Each beta particle is an electron.

Charge  . . . -1 elementary charge

Mass  . . . 0.00055 AMU

Relative penetrating power  . . . medium

The effect an electric field would have on it . . .  repelled by other negative charges, and attracted toward positive charges.

<em>Gamma radiation</em>:  electromagnetic wave, verrrrry short wave, high frequency

Charge . . . electromagnetic wave, no charge

Mass  . . . electromagnetic wave, no mass

Relative penetrating power  . . . high

The effect an electric field would have on it . . . electromagnetic wave, no effect

To test the hypothesis that the population mean mu=3. 6, a sample size n=14 yields a sample mean 4. 007 and sample standard devi
PolarNik [594]

The P value for the given data set is 25127. For finding P value, we have to must find the Z value.

<h3>How to get the z scores?</h3>

If we've got a normal distribution, then we can convert it to standard normal distribution and its values will give us the z score.

The Z value is calculated as;

Z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma})

Z = (X - μ) / σ

Z = (4.007 - 3.6) / 0.607

Z = 0.67051

The P value for the given data set is 25127.

If two objects A and B have the same kinetic energy but A has three times the momentum of B, what is the ratio of their inertias
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

\frac{inertia_B}{inertia_A}=9

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that:

- The kinetic energy of an object is given by K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the speed

- The momentum of an object is given by p=mv

- The inertia of an object is proportional to its mass, so we can write I=km, where k just indicates a constant of proportionality

In this problem, we have:

- K_A = K_B (the two objects have same kinetic energy)

- p_A = 3 p_B (A has three times the momentum of B)

Re-writing both equation we have:

\frac{1}{2}m_A v_A^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_B v_B^2\\m_A v_A = 3 m_B v_B

If we divide first equation by second one we get

v_A = 3 v_B

And if we substitute it into the first equation we get

m_A (3 v_B)^2 = m_B v_B^2\\9 m_A v_B^2 = m_B v_B^2\\m_B = 9 m_A

So, B has 9 times more mass than A, and so B has 9 times more inertia than A, and their ratio is:

\frac{I_B}{I_A}=\frac{km_B}{km_A}=\frac{9m_A}{m_A}=9

What is the first law of conservation of energy? How is the law applicable to the earths energy balance
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

First law of thermodynamic state that energy is always conserved, in other word, energy cannot be created or destroyed.

This means that energy can only transfer from one source to another.

For example, the electricity we used to power our phone didn't come from nowhere.

We charge our phone using the energy from the electricity from the outlet.

The outlet gets its energy from the power plant, who generated that energy from burning coal.

The coal they burned got their energy while they were alive as plants.

The plants got their energy from the sun.

The sun got its energy from other cosmic stuff and so on...

My point is that the energy we use will always cycle around. It doesn't come from thin air and it doesn't disappear into thin air either. This help keeps things balance because if energy is created out of thin air then the earth might just blow up. If energy gets erased into thin air then there'll be nothing to fuel life.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!<br><br> Which number shows the wavelength?
Ray Of Light [21]

If you read the question carefully, you can find the answer right there in it.

In fact, you don't even have to read the whole question ... you only need to read one word.

In fact, you don't even have to read the whole word ... you only need to read part of the word.

The word to read is "wavelength".

The important part of the word is "length".

<em>Now</em> it's time to look at the picture:

#1 is a height.

#2 is a place on the wave

#4 is a place on the wave

<em>#3 </em>is the only thing in the picture that's a "length" of anything.
