Question:
A. Engineer A: "When the sample alpha decays, it will give off alpha particles. These will
trigger a photosensor (a device that senses forms of light) that will open the lock."
B. Engineer B: "When the sample alpha decays, it only releases large amounts of heat.
This will trigger a thermometer that will open the lock."
C. Engineer C: "When the sample alpha decays, it will lose mass, This will trigger a scale
that will open the lock."
D. Engineer D: "When the sample alpha decays, it will give off negatively charged alpha
particles. Because alpha particles are electrons, they will complete a circuit that will
open the lock."
Answer:
The correct option is;
A. Engineer A: "When the sample alpha decays, it will give off alpha particles. These will trigger a photosensor ( a device that senses forms of light) that will open the lock"
Explanation:
Here, we note that in alpha decay (α-decay) there is an emission of an alpha particle or helium nucleus with the transformation of the parent element nucleus into that of a different element, having reduced mass and atomic numbers
Alpha particles are a form of ionizing radiation with a mass of 6.64 × 10⁻²⁷ kg and therefore they can be sensed by a photo sensor but will be slowly sensed by a scale.
Answer:
The magnetic field at the location is 
Explanation:
Given that,
Potential difference = 1320 V
Distance = 0.008 m
We need to calculate the velocity
Using conservation of energy
Electric potential energy lost = kinetic energy gained


Put the value into the formula



We need to calculate the magnetic field at the location
Using formula of magnetic field

Put the value into the formula


Hence, The magnetic field at the location is 
Um...Is it 29.4m? I'm guessing, since, there's 3 seconds and it's at 9.8m/sec downward, so,
9.8 x 3 = 29.4m
Answer:
D. its acceleration is zero
Explanation:
Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.
This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.
Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.
Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

In this scenario, a stone is thrown straight up. While the stone is rising its acceleration is zero because it's initial velocity is zero and it's until the stone reaches its highest point before the acceleration becomes constant and acting downward.
