If a material blocks gamma radiation, then it will probably protect against alpha and beta radiation. Alpha particles are large and slow-moving, thus having very little penetrating power. Beta particles are fast-moving, and can penetrate the human flesh up to 1 or 2 centimeters. Gamma particles, however, have great penetration and can easily pass through the human flesh.

Answer:

388.5J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight  = 70N

Height  = 5.55m

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy at the top of the ladder  = ?

Solution:

The gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of the body.

  Gravitational potential energy  = Weight x height

So;

 Gravitational potential energy  = 70 x 5.55 = 388.5J

<span>The manipulation of natural sounds via the medium of magnetic tape is called "</span>Musique concrete".

Musique concrete refers to an experimental method of melodic composition utilizing recorded sounds as crude material. The strategy was created around 1948 by the French composer Pierre Schaeffer and his partners at the Studio d'Essai ("Experimental Studio") of the French radio framework. The major guideline of musique concrète lies in the collection of different regular sounds recorded on tape (or, initially, on plates) to deliver a montage of sound.
