Answer:
Few millimeter thick aluminium, water, wood, acrylic glass or plastic.
Explanation:
The materials that are best for protection against beta particles are few millimeter thickness of aluminium, but for the high energy beta-particles radiations the low atomic mass materials such as plastic, wood, water and acrylic glass can be used.
These materials can also be used in personal protective equipment which includes all the clothing that can be worn to prevent any injury or illness due to the exposure to radiation.
Answer:
Jupiter's gravitational acceleration is 24.8 m/s^2
Explanation:
Recall that the weight under the influence of a gravitational acceleration G is defined as:
Weight = m * G
Then, in our case we have
372 N = 15 kg * G
G = 372/15 m/s^2
G = 24.8 m/s^2
Answer:
<em>17 m/s west</em>
Explanation:
Runner 1 has velocity = 10 m/s west
runner 2 has velocity = 7 m/s east
From the frame of reference of runner 2, we can imagine runner 2 as standing still, and runner 1 moving away from him, towards the west with their combined velocity of
velocity = 10 m/s + 7 m/s = <em>17 m/s west</em>
Answer:
Metal is more dense than water.
Explanation:
As we know, the molecules of the metal are tightly closed as compared to that of water and the density of a material is defined as the mass of the material per unit volume.
In a certain volume of metal, there are more numbers of molecules than that of water in the same amount of volume, therefore the density of metal is greater than that of water.
Also, according to Archimedes' principle, if there is an object in a fluid, then the buoyant force on that object is equal to the weight of the fluid that it displaces.
When the density of the object is larger than that of the fluid then it overcomes that buoyant force and sinks.
Thus, an object sinks in a fluid if its density is larger than that of the fluid and floats otherwise.
Since, the metal sink in water, it means Metal is more dense than water.
