Gamma radiation could be used to sterilize plastic petri plates in a plastic wrapper.

Answer: Option E

<u>Explanation: </u>

It is known that radioactive radiations have greater ionizing powers compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Among the radioactive radiations, gamma rays are the most ionizing radiation.

So they are widely used in sterilizing process. As the penetration power of gamma is more compared to alpha and beta, in order to kill microorganisms gamma radiations are used.

When plastic petri plates wrapped with plastic are bombarded or sterilizing with gamma rays, the rays will ionise the micro-organism. Thus mutilating their DNA and preventing their reproduction.

<h3>Question:5</h3>

The given data can be written in following way in coordinates axes.

(0,0), (2,2), (4,4), (6,4), (8,4), (10,6),(12,4), (14, 2).

a) Average velocity for first 4 seconds

Average velocity = Total Displacement/ Time taken

= (4-0)/(4 - 0)

=4/4

= 1/1

<h3> =1 m/s</h3>

b) Average velocity for 4 to 8 seconds

Average velocity = Total Displacement/ Time taken

= (4 - 4)/(8-4)

= 0/4

<h3> = 0</h3>

c) Average velocity for last 6 seconds

Last 6 seconds = from 8 to 14 seconds

Average velocity = Total Displacement/Time taken

= (2 - 4)/(14 - 8)

= -2/6

<h3> = -1/3 m/s</h3>

<h3>Question 6:</h3>

The given data can be written in following way in coordinates axes.

(0,0), (10,20), (20,20), (30,20), (40,0)

a) State the kind of motion from Os to 10s and from 30s to 40s

It is obvious from the graph that the velocity between Os to 10s has been increased from 0 m/s to 20m/s. Hence there is a uniform Acceleration in the body.

b) What is the velocity of the body after 10s and 40s ?

It is clear from the graph and table as well that,

<h3>Velocity after 10s is 20m/s</h3>

and

<h3>Velocity after 40s is 0 m/s</h3>

c) Calculate the distance covered by the body between 10s to 30s.

Distance covered by the body between 10s to 30s will be given by area of rectangle ABCD

Area of rectangle ABCD= (30 - 10) × (20 - O)

=20×20

<h3> = 400 m</h3>

What is the top of a wave called?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The highest part of the wave is called the crest.

Explanation:) hope this helps

The highest part of the wave is called the crest. The lowest part is called the trough. The wave height is the overall vertical change in height between the crest and the trough and distance between two successive crests (or troughs) is the length of the wave or wavelength.
