Gamma rays are dangerous because they

Physics
1 answer:
lina2011 [118]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

A large fraction of astronomical gamma rays are screened by Earth's atmosphere. Gamma rays are ionizing radiation and are thus biologically hazardous. Due to their high penetration power, they can damage bone marrow and internal organs.

The extremely high energy of gamma rays allows them to penetrate just about anything. They can even pass through bones and teeth. This makes gamma rays very dangerous. They can destroy living cells, produce gene mutations, and cause cancer.

Do you think an observer on another planet in the solar system might see eclipses
artcher [175]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Eclipses: Eclipses are also known as game of shadows where one object comes between the star(light source) and another object in a straight line such that the shadow of one object falls on other object. This can occur when the apparent size of the star and the object is almost same.

Talking about the Earth, the geometry is such that the Moon and the Sun are of same apparent size as seen from the Earth. Thus Lunar and Solar eclipse can be seen from the Earth. If we were to go on any other planet the same phenomenon can be seen provided the apparent size of moon and the Sun from that planet is same.

We have seen and recorded many such eclipses on Jupiter. These are from the perspective of Earth. When the moons of Jupiter comes exactly between the Sun and Jupiter the shadow of moon will fall on Jupiter. The places where the shadow falls, one will see a solar eclipse.

Maximum range of a projectile is 1.6 m. Then the velocity of projection will be..... (g=10m/s)
qaws [65]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Maximum range (Rₘₐₓ) = 1.6 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =?

The initial velocity of the projectile can be obtained as follow:

Rₘₐₓ = u² / g

1.6 = u² / 10

Cross multiply

u² = 1.6 × 10

u² = 16

Take the square root of both side

u = √16

u = 4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the projectile is 4 m/s
