If you are pushing the coin across the table at a constant rate, the friction of the table and the horizontal force of your hand pushing are equal, and the coin itself moves at a constant rate. If you push a coin and let it go, there is no horizontal force keeping the coin going. Friction slows the coin to a stop. In both cases, the gravitational downward pull of Earth is equally but oppositely resisted by the upward push of table on the coin.
"Gamma rays" is the name that we call the shortest of all electromagnetic waves. They're shorter than radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, heat waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays. They extend all the way down to waves that are as short as the distance across an atom.
Being so short, they carry lots of energy. They can penetrate many materials, and they can damage living cells and DNA. They're dangerous.
The sun puts out a lot of gamma radiation. The atmosphere (air) filters out a lot of it, otherwise there couldn't even be any life on Earth.
As soon as astronauts fly out of the atmosphere, they need a lot of shielding from gamma rays.
You know the precautions we take when we're around X-rays. The same precautions apply around gamma rays, only a lot more so.
It's only in the past several years that we've learned how to MAKE gamma rays without blowing things up. Also, how to control them, and how to use them for medical and industrial applications.
Answer:
8
Explanation:
Groups go down, periods go across :)
Answer:
Explanation:
correct options
a ) Their electrical potential energy keeps decreasing
Actually as they move apart , their electrical potential energy decreases due to increase of distance between them and kinetic energy increases
so a ) option is correct
b ) Their acceleration keeps decreasing
As they move apart , their mutual force of repulsion decreases due to increase of distance between them so the acceleration decreases .
c ) c. Their kinetic energy keeps increasing
Their kinetic energy increases because their electrical potential energy decreases . Conservation of energy law will apply .
The major difference is: Mercury has no orbiting satellites, while Jupiter has many satellites that surround it, so the correct answer is C
