Answer:

C. Alpha

Explanation:

Gamma radiation, unlike alpha or beta, does not consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus. Having no mass or charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through air than alpha or beta, losing (on average) half its energy for every 500 feet.

Assume four 1 kohm resistors are connected so that they form a square. what is the equivalent resistance if the resistance is me

borishaifa [10]

If the resistors are arranged in a shape of a square, then they are in a series type of circuit. This circuit arrangement is a non-branching, one-way flow of electrons. The total resistance in a series circuit is the summation of the individual resistances, If you place the ohmmeter (measures resistance) on two non-adjacent sides, then, you are measuring the resistance of two of the resistors.

Resistance = 2(1 kΩ) = 2 kΩ

A 1.2 x10 3 kilogram automobile in motion strikes a 1.0 x 10 -4 kilogram insect as a result the insect is accelerated at a rate

Mariana [72]

According to Newton's second law, the force applied to an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:
$F=ma$
where F is the magnitude of the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

In this problem, the object is the insect, with mass $m=1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg$ . The acceleration of the insect is $a=1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2$ , therefore we can calculate the force exerted by the car on the insect:
$F=ma=(1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg)(1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2)=0.01 N$

How do we find the force exerted by the insect on the car?
According to Newton's third law (known as action-reaction law), when an object A exerts a force on an object B, object B also exerts a force equal and opposite on object A. Therefore, the force exerted by the insect on the car is equal to the force exerted by the car on the object, so it is 0.01 N.
