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.

A particle moving along a straight line with constant acceleration has a velocity of 2.35 m/s at t=3.42 s, and a velocity of -8.
mrs_skeptik [129]

The particle's acceleration is 5.1 m/s²

<h3>What is Acceleration ?</h3>

Acceleration can be defined as the rate at which velocity is changing. It is a vector quantity and it is measured in m/s²

Given that a particle is moving along a straight line with constant acceleration has a velocity of 2.35 m/s at t=3.42 s, and a velocity of -8.72 m/s at t=5.59s

The given parameters are;

  • V1 = 2.35 m/s
  • V2 = - 8.72 m/s
  • T1 = 3.42s
  • T2 = 5.59s

Acceleration a = ΔV ÷ ΔT

a = (2.35 + 8.72) / (5.59 - 3.42)

a = 11.07 / 2.17

a = 5.1 m/s²

Therefore, the particle's acceleration is 5.1 m/s²

Star #1 is approaching the Earth with speed v. Star #2 is receding from the Earth with the same speed v. Measurements of the sam
leva [86]

Answer:

b. Both stars will have the same shift.

Explanation:

It's a very simple problem to solve. Star 1 is approaching toward Earth with a speed v, so let's assume that the change in Doppler Shift is +F and Star 2 is moving away so the change in Doppler shift is -F. But it's time to notice the speed of both stars and that is same but only directions are different. speed is the main factor here. The magnitude of both shifts is F as we can see and + and - are showing there direction of motion. So, because of same amount of speed, both stars will have same shift magnitude. (Just the directions are different)
