Define A Gamma Ray .....---_---__☘️​

Physics
1 answer:
MrRa [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

gamma ray, or gamma radiation (symbol γ or {\displaystyle \gamma } \gamma ), is a penetrating form of electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It consists of the shortest wavelength electromagnetic waves and so imparts the highest photon energy. Paul Villard, a French chemist and physicist, discovered gamma radiation in 1900 while studying radiation emitted by radium. In 1903, Ernest Rutherford named this radiation gamma rays based on their relatively strong penetration of matter; in 1900 he had already named two less penetrating types of decay radiation (discovered by Henri Becquerel) alpha rays and beta rays in ascending order of penetrating power.

An unbalanced force gives a 2.00 kg mass an acceleration of 5.00 m/s? What is the force applied to the object?​
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

10N

Explanation:

Equation: ΣF = ma

Fapp = ma

Fapp = (2kg)(5m/s^2)    (im guessing you mean 5.00 m/s^2 not m/s)

Fapp = 10*kg*m/s^2

Fapp = 10N

A beam of protons enter the electric field of magnitude E = 0.5 N/C between a pair of parallel plates. There is a magnetic field
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

0.217 m/s

Explanation:

The protons in the beam passes undeflected when the electric force is equal to the magnetic force:

qE = qvB

where

q is the proton's charge

E is the magnitude of the electric field

v is the speed of the protons

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

Re-arranging the equation,

v=\frac{E}{B}

And by substituting

E = 0.5 N/C

B = 2.3 T

We find

v=\frac{0.5}{2.3}=0.217 m/s

A sprinter with a mass of 80 kg accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 s. What is the runner's acceleration?
sertanlavr [38]
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) = 9/3 = <em>3 m/s²</em> .

His mass makes no difference.
