Answer :

A Alpha Radiation. As charged particles, such as alpha particles, move through material, energy is transferred from the radiation to the atoms or molecules that make up the material. The major energy-loss mechanisms are electronic excitation and ionization.

Hope this helps :)

An electron has a constant acceleration of +3.3 m/s2. at a certain instant its velocity is +8.6 m/s. what is its velocity (a) 2.
Citrus2011 [14]
Hello!


The velocity function is:

\mathsf{V = V_0 + at}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 8.6 +3.3t}


a) 2.3 s earlier, we can make t = -2.3 s, in relation to our initial time:

\mathsf{V = 8.6 + 3.3\cdot(-2.3)}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 8.8-7.59}\\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{V = 1.21 \ m/s}}

b) Now we can make t = 2.3 s:

\mathsf{V = 8.6 + 3.3\cdot2.3}\\ \\ \mathsf{V = 8.6 + 7.59}\\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{V = 15.59 \ m/s}}

A 12 oz can of soda is left in a car on a hot day. In the morning the soda temperature was 60oF with a gauge pressure of 40 psi.
Neko [114]
In this case, volume of the can remains constant. The relationship between pressure and temperature at constant volume is given by:

P/T = Constant

Then
\frac{ P_{1} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{ P_{2} }{ T_{2} }

Where
P1 = 40 psi
P2 = ?
T1 = 60°F ≈ 289 K
T2 = 90°F ≈ 305 K (note, 363 K is not right)

Substituting;
P_{2} = \frac{ P_{1}  T_{2} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{40*305}{289}  =42.21 psi
