Physics
2 answers:
Mashutka [201]3 years ago

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.

A 2.03 cm high insect is 1.39 m from a 131 mm focal-length lens. Where is the image? How high is it?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

image is 14.47 cm behind the lens

height is 2.11 mm

Explanation:

Given data

h  = 2.03 cm

p = 1.39 m = 139 cm

focal-length f = 131 mm = 13.1 cm

to find out

Where is the image and How high is it

solution

we know focal length formula that is

1/f = 1/p + 1/q

put here value to find q

1/ 13.1 = 1/ 139  + 1 solbe/ q

q =  14.463066 cm

so image is 14.47 cm behind the lens

and

height is calculate

height / h  = - q / p

put here all value

height = -14.47 / 139 × 2.03

height = −0.211324 cm

here -ve sign show image is inverted

so height is 2.11 mm

Five 6 ohm resistors are connected in parallel. Which of the following is their effective resistance?
Ganezh [65]

1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3+ 1/R4+ 1/R5

1/Rt = 1/6+ 1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6

1/Rt = 5/6

Rt = 6/5

Rt = 1.2 ohm

so B is the answer
