• 2. particles penetrate through paper.

1 answer:

AleksandrR [38]3 years ago

7 0

Answer: The penetrating power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays varies greatly. Alpha particles can be blocked by a few pieces of paper. Beta particles pass through paper and Gamma rays are the most difficult to stop and require concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding to block them.

If a person wants to move a heavy box across the room, what is required to get the box in motion? apply any force apply a force

garik1379 [7]

If a person want to move a <span>heavy box across the room, he must apply a force that is greater than starting frictional force acted on the heavy box in order to get the box in motion. the frictional force is equal to coefficient of friction times the normal force, and normal force is approximately the weight of the object. so the force that must be applied must be greater than the wieght of the object.</span>

Zina [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. Q= It

30E-3A=q

Ne = q

30E-3/1.6*10-19= N

N= 1.8*10^16 electrons

B. Power= I x v

= 30*10^-3A x 100*10^3v

= 3000watts

Light of wavelength 520 nm is used to illuminate normally two glass plates 21.1 cm in length that touch at one end and are separ

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The number is $Z = 216 \ fringes$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 520 \ nm = 520 *10^{-9} \ m$

The length of the glass plates is $y = 21.1cm = 0.211 \ m$

The distance between the plates (radius of wire ) = $d = 0.028 mm = 2.8 *10^{-5} \ m$

Generally the condition for constructive interference in a film is mathematically represented as

$2 * t = [m + \frac{1}{2} ]\lambda$

Where t is the thickness of the separation between the glass i.e

t = 0 at the edge where the glasses are touching each other and

t = 2d at the edge where the glasses are separated by the wire

m is the order of the fringe it starts from 0, 1 , 2 ...

So

$2 * 2 * d = [m + \frac{1}{2} ] 520 *10^{-9}$

=> $2 * 2 * (2.8 *10^{-5}) = [m + \frac{1}{2} ] 520 *10^{-9}$

=>

$m = 215$

given that we start counting m from zero

it means that the number of bright fringes that would appear is

$Z = m + 1$

=> $Z = 215 +1$

=> $Z = 216 \ fringes$

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Less than

Explanation:

Speed of sound increases with density of the medium. Since wood is less dense than water, the speed of sound is lower in wood.
