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 :)

   - This will have no significant effect on the measurements.

b.) Taking the difference of two nearby sensor measurements (gradiometer).

    -This answer is TRUE.

c.) Placing the heart in a perpendicular fashion to the Earth's magnetic field.

   _ This answer also will not have any significant effect on measurements.

d.) Using physical means to shield environmental fields.

A uniform, thin rod of length h and mass M is held vertically with its lower end resting on a frictionless horizontal surface. T
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

v = \sqrt{gh}

Explanation:

Since there's no external force beside gravity acting on the rod, we can use the law of energy conservation to calculate for the speed of rod center of gravity before hitting the surface.

Also as the rod is uniform and this, its center of gravity is at distance h/2 from the surface.

E_k = E_p

mv^2/2 = mgh/2

v^2 = gh

v = \sqrt{gh}
