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 :)

Contact [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the definition of the ideal gas equation, where we will clear the density variable. In turn, the specific volume is the inverse of the density, so once the first term has been completed, we will simply proceed to divide it by 1. According to the definition of 1 atmosphere, this is equivalent in the English system to

1atm = 2116lb/ft^2

The ideal gas equation said us that,

PV = nRT

Here,

P = pressure

V = Volume

R = Gas ideal constant

T = Temperature

n = Amount of substance (at this case the mass)

Then

\frac{n}{V} = \frac{P}{RT}

The amount of substance per volume is the density, then

\rho = \frac{P}{RT}

Replacing with our values,

\rho = \frac{5.6*2116}{1716*850}

\rho = 0.00812slug/ft^3

Finally the specific volume would be

v = \frac{1}{\rho}

v = 123ft^3/slug

Which material will displace a volume of water? Which material will displace a volume of water less than its own volume? Which m
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

1. all of them

2. cork and wax

3. iron, lead, and aluminum

4. none of them

Explanation:

1.Which material will displace a volume of water?  all of them

When an object is introduced into a container with a volume of water, a volume of liquid equal to the volume of the object is displaced

2.Which material will displace a volume of water less than its own volume?

cork and wax

because  the density of the object is less than that of the displaced liquid

3.Which material will displace a volume of water equal to its own volume?

iron, lead, and aluminum

because  Arquimedes's principle: any body plunged inside a fluid in this case water experiences an ascending force called push, equivalent to the weight of the fluid removed by the body

4.Which material will displace a volume of water greater than its own volume?

None of them
