What is the speed of alpha rays, beta rays and gamma rays ?

1 answer:

5 0

Alpha particles are released by proton rich unstable nuclei. It has no electrons to balance the protons making it positively charged particles moving at very high speeds. Gamma articles are electromagnetic waves of short wavelength and high frequency. It has a speed same as the speed of light. Beta particles are released by neutron rich unstable nuclei. It has a speed of less than the gamma particles.

The efficiency of a modern bicycle is 95% if you exert 200 Joules of input work pedaling a bicycle on level ground what is the u

Delvig [45]

Answer:

95 J

Explanation:

You can calculate efficiency by dividing useful output by total input, then multiplying it to 100.

So the foumula goes like:

Efficiency= (Useful output/Total input)x100

In this question,

Efficiency= 95%

Useful output= x

Total input= 200

Therefore;

95=(x/200)x100

0.95=x/100

x=0.95x100

x=95 Joules

The horn on a fire truck sounds at a pitch of 350 hz a. what is the perceived frequency when the fire truck is moving toward you

solong [7]

The perceived frequency when the fire truck is moving toward you and away from you will be 370 Hz and 329.59 Hz respectively.

<h3>What is the Doppler effect?</h3>

A sudden change in the frequency due to the distance between the objects and source is explained by the doppler effect.

As the source and observer travel toward each other, the frequency of sound, light, or other waves increases or decreases.

The perceived frequency when the fire truck is moving toward you;

$\rm r' = (\frac{v+v_0}{v}) V \\\\ \rm r' = (\frac{343+20}{343}) 350 \\\\ r' =370.4 \ Hz$

The perceived frequency when the fire truck is moving away from you;

$\rm r' = (\frac{v-v_0}{v}) V \\\\ \rm r' = (\frac{343-20}{343}) 343 \\\\ r' =329.59 \ Hz$

Hence, the perceived frequency when the fire truck in cases 1 and 2 will be 370 Hz and 329.59 Hz.

Consider a semicircular ring of radius R. Its linear mass density varies as lambda =lambda not sin theta. Locate its centre of m

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

(0, πR/4)

Explanation:

The linear mass density (mass per length) is λ = λ₀ sin θ.

A short segment of arc length is ds = R dθ.

The mass of this short length is:

dm = λ ds

dm = (λ₀ sin θ) (R dθ)

dm = R λ₀ sin θ dθ

The x coordinate of the center of mass is:

X = ∫ x dm / ∫ dm

X = ∫₀ᵖ (R cos θ) (R λ₀ sin θ dθ) / ∫₀ᵖ R λ₀ sin θ dθ

X = R ∫₀ᵖ sin θ cos θ dθ / ∫₀ᵖ sin θ dθ

X = R ∫₀ᵖ ½ sin 2θ dθ / ∫₀ᵖ sin θ dθ

X = ¼R ∫₀ᵖ 2 sin 2θ dθ / ∫₀ᵖ sin θ dθ

X = ¼R (-cos 2θ)|₀ᵖ / (-cos θ)|₀ᵖ

X = ¼R (-cos 2π − (-cos 0)) / (-cos π − (-cos 0))

X = ¼R (-1 + 1) / (1 + 1)

X = 0

The y coordinate of the center of mass is:

Y = ∫ y dm / ∫ dm

Y = ∫₀ᵖ (R sin θ) (R λ₀ sin θ dθ) / ∫₀ᵖ R λ₀ sin θ dθ

Y = R ∫₀ᵖ sin² θ dθ / ∫₀ᵖ sin θ dθ

Y = R ∫₀ᵖ ½ (1 − cos 2θ) dθ / ∫₀ᵖ sin θ dθ

Y = ½R ∫₀ᵖ (1 − cos 2θ) dθ / ∫₀ᵖ sin θ dθ

Y = ½R (θ − ½ sin 2θ)|₀ᵖ / (-cos θ)|₀ᵖ

Y = ½R [(π − ½ sin 2π) − (0 − ½ sin 0)] / (-cos π − (-cos 0))

Y = ½R (π − 0) / (1 + 1)

Y = ¼πR
