Answer:

alpha

Explanation:

As unstable nuclei breaks into some other nuclei in order to attain stability. We will have three type of nuclei decay as following

1). Alpha Decay = it is positively charged high speed helium nuclei which will have energy in form of kinetic energy. Since these are heavy nuclei so penetration power of them is small and they are positively charged

2) Beta Decay = In this type of decay we will have negatively charged electrons released by the unstable nuclei and they move with high energy as they are of lesser mass. Penetration power of beta is more than alpha

3) Gamma Decay = It is neutral and massless photons which contains high energy. Penetration power of gamma is highest among all.

So here as we know that radiation particle is deflected towards negative terminal so it must be a positive particle so here correct answer must be

alpha

The correct answer would be the first option. Based on the given description above, the type of radiation that is being emitted is ALPHA RADIATION. Alpha radiation is the type of radiation having the lowest penetrative power. Take note that <span>Gamma is stronger than Beta is stronger than Alpha. Hope this answer helps. Have a great day!</span>

a 15 kg tv sots on a shelf at a height of 0.3 m. how much gravitational potential energy is added to the television when it is l
nata0808 [166]
Gravitational potential energy can be described as m*g*h (mass times gravity times height).

Originally,
15kg * 9.8m/s^2 *0.3 m = 44.1 kg*m^2/s^2 = 44.1 Joules.

After it is moved to a 1m shelf:
15kg * 9.8m/s * 1 = 147 kg*m^2/s^2= 147 Joules.

To find how much energy was added, we subtract final energy from initial energy:

147 J - 44.1 J = 102.9 Joules.

How does the matter and (solar) energy move through the sphere?
Tema [17]
When the Sun's energy moves through space, it reaches Earth's atmosphere and finally the surface. This radiant solar energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This heat energy is transferred throughout the planet's systems in three ways: by radiation, conduction, and convection.

PLEAS HELP.
koban [17]

<span>A: put an atom on a poster in the exhibit
     Good luck.  The poster itself is made of trillions of trillions of trillions
     of atoms.  You could not see the extra one any easier than you could
     see the ones that are already there, and even if you could, it would be
     lost in the crowd.
 
B: use a life size drawing of an atom
     Good luck.  Nobody has ever seen an atom.  Atoms are too small
     to see.  That's a big part of the reason that nobody knew they exist
     until less than 200 years ago.

D: set up a microscope so that visitors can view atoms
     Good luck.  Atoms are way too small to see with a microscope.

</span><span><span>C: Display a large three dimensional model of an atom.
    </span> </span>Finally !  A suggestion that makes sense.
     If something is too big or too small to see, show a model of it
         that's just the right size to see.
