Irina-Kira [14]3 years ago
3 0

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.

What is the mathematical expression for the electric ptential difference between points A and B when a charged particle is movin
ratelena [41]

Answer:

chang in V=\int\limits^B_A {E} \, ds

Explanation:

Since, as we know, the potential difference 'ΔV' is the difference of between the Potential energy per unit charge U/qo at one point 'B' to Potential energy per unit charge at other point 'A'. It so happens when a test charge 'qo' moves from point A to B, the potential difference becomes the change of potential energy of the system, i.e.

Potential Difference =\frac{change in U}{qo}=\int\limits^B_A {E} \, ds

In a wave, what do you call the difference from crest to crest or trough to trough
UNO [17]
The correct answer is "wavelength".

In fact, this is exactly the definition of wavelength: in a wave, the wavelength is defined as the distance between two succesive crests or two successive troughs, therefore the correct answer is 
D) wavelength.

What is the formula for displacement
pogonyaev
Displacement is usually given to you as it is, but you can also get displacement through velocity by Δd= Δv*t, where  <span>Δv is the change in velocity and t is the change in time.

One object has a charge of +5.0 · 10-6 c, and a second object has a charge of +2.0 · 10-6
ruslelena [56]
The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by
F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 is the charge of the first object
q2 is the charge of the second object
r is the separation between the two objects

In our problem:
q_1=+5.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C
q_2 = +2.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C
r=0.5 m
So if we plug these numbers into the equation, we can find the electrostatic force between the two objects:
F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}) \frac{(5.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C)(2.0 \cdot 10^{-6}C)}{(0.5 m)^2}=0.36 N
