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 :)

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The value is $V_n = 2.2498 \ m^3$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The volume of liquid nitrogen is $V_n = 3.6 \ L= 3.6 *10^{-3} \ m^3$

The density of nitrogen at gaseous form is $\rho_n = 1.2929 \ kg/m^3$ = The dry air at sea level

Generally the density of nitrogen at liquid form is

$\rho _l = 808 \ kg/m^3$

And this is mathematically represented as

$\rho_l = \frac{m}{V_l }$

=> $m = \rho_l * V_l$

Now the density of gaseous nitrogen is

$\rho_n = \frac{m}{V_n }$

=> $m = \rho_n * V_n$

Given that the mass is constant

$\rho_n * V_n = \rho_l * V_l$

$1.2929* V_n = 808 * 3.6*10^{-3}$

=> $V_n = 2.2498 \ m^3$

An astronaut drops a rock on the surface of an asteroid.The rock is released from rest at a height of 0.86 m above the ground, a

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

$a_y=0.92m/s^2$

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the formula for accelerated motion:

$y=y_0+v_{y0}t+\frac{a_yt^2}{2}$

We will take the initial position as our reference ( $y_0=0m$ ) and the downward direction as positive. Since the rock departs from rest we have:

$y=\frac{a_yt^2}{2}$

Which means our acceleration would be:

$a_y=\frac{2y}{t^2}$

Using our values:

$a_y=\frac{2(0.86m)}{(1.37s)^2}=0.92m/s^2$
