Of the three types of radiation listed below, which is the least penetrating and which is the most penetrating? -alpha -beta -ga

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Alpha is the least penetrating radiation listed below.

Gamma is the most penetrating radiation in the given list.

These rays can be used to detect cancer, sterilizing the medical instrument, smoke detector, etc.

Radiation emitted from the radioactive elements also have very harmful. They affect the living being a lot. Waste from the nuclear reactor also contains harmful radiation which causes Land pollution if not disposed of properly.

A horizontal force of 12N is applied to 1.5kg of block which rests on a horizontal surface. If the coefficient friction is 0.3,

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

7 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Force applied (Fₐ) = 15 N

Mass (m) of block = 1.5 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.3

Acceleration (a) of block =?

Next, we shall determine the frictional force. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of block = 1.5 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.3

Normal reaction (R) = mg = 1.5 × 10 = 15 N

Frictional force (Fբ) =?

Fբ = μR

Fբ = 0.3 × 15

Fբ = 4.5 N

Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Force applied (Fₐ) = 15 N

Frictional force (Fբ) = 4.5 N

Net force (Fₙ) =.?

Fₙ = Fₐ – Fբ

Fₙ = 15 – 4.5

Fₙ = 10.5 N

Finally, we shall determine the acceleration produced in the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of block = 1.5 Kg

Net force (Fₙ) = 10.5 N

Acceleration (a) of block =?

Fₙ = ma

10.5 = 1.5 × a

Divide both side by a

a = 10.5 / 1.5

a = 7 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration produced in the block is 7 m/s²

A car is moving in uniform circular motion. If the cars speed were to double to keep the car moving with the same radius the acc

Stells [14]

Answer:

<em>The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4</em>

<em>Correct choice: B.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion</u>

The circular motion is described when an object rotates about a fixed point called center. The distance from the object to the center is the radius. There are other magnitudes in the circular motion like the angular speed, tangent speed, and centripetal acceleration. The formulas are:

$v_t=w\ r$

$\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v_t^2}{r}$

If the speed is doubled and the radius is the same, then

$\displaystyle a_c=\frac{(2v_t)^2}{r}$

$\displaystyle a_c=4\frac{v_t^2}{r}$

The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4

Correct choice: B.

a body of mass 0.2kg is whirled round a horizontal circle by a string inclined at 30 degrees to the vertical calculate <br /&

Katen [24]

Answer:

a) T = 2.26 N, b) v = 1.68 m / s

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law

Let's set a reference system where the x-axis is radial and the y-axis is vertical, let's decompose the tension of the string

sin 30 = $\frac{T_x}{T}$

cos 30 = $\frac{T_y}{T}$

Tₓ = T sin 30

T_y = T cos 30

Y axis

T_y -W = 0

T cos 30 = mg (1)

X axis

Tₓ = m a

they relate it is centripetal

a = v² / r

we substitute

T sin 30 = m $\frac{v^2}{r}$ (2)

a) we substitute in 1

T = $\frac{mg }{cos 30}$

T = $\frac{ 0.2 \ 9.8}{cos \ 30}$

T = 2.26 N

b) from equation 2

v² = $\frac{T \ sin 30 \ r}{m}$

If we know the length of the string

sin 30 = r / L

r = L sin 30

we substitute

v² = $\frac{ T \ sin 30 \ L \ sin 30}{m}$

v² = $\frac{TL \ sin^2 30}{m}$

For the problem let us take L = 1 m

let's calculate

v = $\sqrt{ \frac{2.26 \ 1 \ sin^230}{0.2} }$

v = 1.68 m / s
