Define A Gamma Ray .....---_---__☘️​

Physics
1 answer:
MrRa [10]3 years ago

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.

A shopping cart rolls from x=19.9m to x=5.40m with an average velocity of -0.418m/s. How much time did it take? (unit=s)
andrew11 [14]

Given

initial position = Xi= 19.9m

Final position Xf = 5.4m

Average velocity= Va = -0.418m/s

it shows displacement is reverse.

To find  t=?

As   Va = (Xf- Xi) / t

t = (Xf-Xi) / ( Va)

t = ( 5.4-19.9) / (-0.418)

t = (-14.5 ) / (-0.418)   (-ve sign cancel out at numerator and denominator)

t =34.69 s

Carlos uses a rope to pull his car 30 m to a parking lot because it ran out of gas. If Carlos exerts 2,000 N of force to pull th
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

The only thing that might trip you up is what to do with the angle. The vertical component of the 15 degrees does no work against anything. So the 15 degrees limits the horizontal force.

The formula is

Work = F * d * cos(15)

The givens are

F = 2000 N

d = 30 m

Cos(15) = 0.9659

Solution

Work = 2000 * 30 * cos(15)

Work = 57,955

Rounded to two places would be 5.8 * 10^4

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

the magnitude of Vpg = 493.711 km/h

Explanation:

given data

speed Vpg = 560 km/h

speed Vwg = 80 km/h

solution

we get here magnitude of the plane velocity w.r.t. ground is

we know that the Vpg = Vpw + Vwg       .....................1

writing the component of the velocity that is

Vpw = (0 km/h î - 560 km/h j )

Vwg = (80 cos 45 km/h î + 80 sin 45 km/h j)

adding these

Vpg = (0+80 cos 45 km/h ) î  + ( -560 + 80 sin 45 km/h j)i

Vpg = (42.025 )  î  (-491.92 km/h)j

now we take magnitude

the magnitude of Vpg = \sqrt{(42.025^2+(-491.92)^2)} km/h

the magnitude of Vpg = 493.711 km/h
