Answer:

Here you go!

Explanation:

Gamma rays have the highest energy radiation and have the smallest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.  They are formed by the hottest and most energetic objects in the world, with nuclear explosions, lightning and far less radioactive decay activity producing gamma rays. It can be both useful and dangerous, gamma rays are used in medicine to treat cancer with radiation when exposed to them, radiology, sterilization and much more.

Answer:

Gamma Rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays have the highest energy radiation and have the smallest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays are ionizing electromagnetic radiation, obtained by the decay of an atomic nucleus. Gamma rays are more penetrating, in matter, and can damage living cells to a great extent. Gamma rays are used in medicine (radiotherapy), industry (sterilization and disinfection) and the nuclear industry.

The extremely high energy of gamma rays allows them to penetrate just about anything. They can even pass through bones and teeth. This makes gamma rays very dangerous. They can destroy living cells, produce gene mutations, and cause cancer.

If a receiver is overly selective:
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

C) only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results.

Explanation:

Selectivity is the ability of a receiver to respond only to a specific signal on a wanted frequency and reject other signals nearby in frequency.

If a receiver is overly selective, only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results. Whereas, if a receiver is underselective, the receiver can pick different signals on different frequencies at the same time.

Q 19.23: A proton is initially moving at 3.0 x 105 m/s. It moves 3.5 m in the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is 1.425 x 10⁻¹⁶ J.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of proton, v_p_i = 3 x 10⁵ m/s

distance moved by the proton, d = 3.5 m

electric field strength, E = 120 N/C

The kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is calculated as follows.

Consider work-energy theorem;

W = ΔK.E

W =K.E_f - K.E_i

where;

K.Ef is the final kinetic energy

W is work done in moving the proton = F x d  = (EQ) x d = EQd

K.E_f =EQd + \frac{1}{2}m_pv_p_i^2

m_p \ is \ mass \ of \ proton = 1.673 \ \times \ 10^{-27} kg \\\\Q \ is \ charge \ of \ proton = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

K.E_f = 120\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 3.5   \ + \ \frac{1}{2}(1.673\times 10^{-27})(3\times 10^5)^2 \\\\

K.E_f = 6.72\times 10^{-17} \ + \ 7.53 \times 10^{-17} \\\\K.E_f = 14.25 \times 10^{-17} J\\\\K.E_f = 1.425\times 10^{-16} \ J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is 1.425 x 10⁻¹⁶ J.

According to Newton's first law of motion, what is required to make an object slow down? Enter your answer in the space provided
LenaWriter [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

According to newton's first law of motion, friction is required to make an object slow down.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the Newton's first law of motion, for an object to change its velocity (either a change in the magnitude or the direction), there must be a cause to it which is defined as a net external force.

For example, an object which is sliding across a table or floor slows down due to the net force of friction that is acting on that object.
