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.

Answer: a. Regularly, you rub your hands for warmth.

b. Some examples are friction from electricity going through a wire or friction from rubbing your hand together.

c. Without friction, we would fall every time we walked. Because there is friction, we can walk normally. Another example is a ball moving across the field. Without friction, the ball would not slow down.

Explanation:

Overall, friction is important to us because we depend on it.

Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Option D

2 m/s

Explanation:

The speed is given by distance/time

The complete wave has a distance of 8 m (This is the wavelength)

Time taken for complete wave is 4 s

Therefore, velocity= 8 m/ 4 s= 2 m/s

The amplitude is the distance between crest and trough hence 9 m- 6 m= 3 m

Frequency is 1/period and in this case period is 4 s hence frequency= 1/4= 0.25 Hz

Essentially, what we wanted is velocity

The sound emitted by bats has a wavelength of 4.13 mm.
blagie [28]

Answer:

the frequency of a wave is equal to the linear speed divided the wavelength. so in equation form.

f = v / l

where f is the frequency

v iss the linear speed

l is the wavelength

f = ( 345 m/s ) / ( 4.38 mm ) ( 1 m / 1000 mm )

f = 78767 per second

Explanation:

hope it helps

djyliett [7]
An alpha particle is identical to a helium nucleus. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "A". In case of both the alpha particle nucleus and helium nucleus, there are two protons and two neutrons. Alpha particles are generally formed during the process of alpha decay. They can also be produced in other ways.
