Explain the difference between the properties of alpha, beta and grammar radiations (6 marks) . pls someone help and make it detailed

Answers

Answer 1
Simply put, alpha particles carry a positive charge, beta particles carry a negative charge, and gamma rays are neutral.

To elaborate:
Alpha rays have poor penetration power. They can cause little harm from outside. The outer layer of dead skin in humans, a thick sheet of paper, or a layer of clothes can resist alpha penetration.
However, alpha particles also have the greatest mass, which implies that they have the greatest ionizing power. If an alpha particle somehow gets into the system through inhaling or swallowing, they become the most dangerous.
Chances of alpha particles getting inside the system occur only in situations of a nuclear accident or explosion. Once inside, alpha particles can cause maximum damage to the tissues of humans and other living organisms.
Beta particles are smaller and have less tissue-damaging power when inside an organism. However, they have greater penetrative power. From the outside, beta particles can burn human skin. It would be similar to a severe sunburn.
Gamma rays have the highest penetration power. A living organism such as a human being exposed to gamma rays faces a high risk of having bone marrow and internal organs damaged.
Gamma rays can pass through a body, damaging tissue and DNA in the process. Scientists consider gamma rays to be the most dangerous form of radiation.
Also:
Alpha particles are positive, heavy, and slower in its movement in comparison to other kinds of nuclear radiation. The travel speed of alpha particles is 5-7% of the speed of light.
Radiotherapy in cancer treatment uses alpha particles to kill the cancerous cells. Because of their low penetration power, they cannot damage the healthy cells surrounding the cancerous part.
One-thousandth of the mass of a proton is the mass of a beta particle. Beta particles carry either one negative charge – an electron, or one single positive charge – a positron. Because of their small mass, beta particles can travel almost at the speed of light.
Beta particles get used as tracers for medical imaging. They also have therapeutic uses in bone and eye cancer treatment. Smoke detectors also use beta particles. Sometimes, beta particles are used for quality control. Checking the thickness of paper, for instance.
Gamma has no mass and no electrical charge. It can travel at the speed of light. There is some application of gamma rays in oncology, and for sterilizing medical instruments.

In an ecosystem having a park, from the given data there are 71 male,93 female, 103 adults and 61 baby goats in the park.

What is an ecosystem?

Ecosystem is defined as a system which consists of all living organisms and the physical components with which the living beings interact. The abiotic and biotic components are linked to each other through nutrient cycles and flow of energy.

Energy enters the system through the process of photosynthesis .Animals play an important role in transfer of energy as they feed on each other.As a result of this transfer of matter and energy takes place through the system .Living organisms also influence the quantity of biomass present.By decomposition of dead plants and animals by microbes nutrients are released back in to the soil.

Which of the following correctly describes how particular type of mirror reflects light? Convex mirrors reflect light to a central point (converging). Concave mirrors reflect light to a central point (converging). Concave mirrors reflect light so the light spreads out (diverging).

Answers

Answer:

Concave mirrors reflect light to a central point (converging)

Suppose the source is to the left of the  mirror in  question.

Parallel rays into the mirror are always reflected towards the focal point.

In the case of a concave mirror the real parallel rays pass thru the focal point.

If the mirror is convex the rays will diverge to the left and act as if they were emanating from the focal point to the right of the mirror.

1.1 A book lies on a table. This book is not moving because:
A there are no forces acting on this book.
B the forces acting on the book are in equilibrium.
C the force that the table exerts on the book is greater than the force
that the Earth exerts on the book.
D the force that the book exerts on the Earth has the same magnitude
as the force that the Earth exerts on the book and therefore they
cancel.​

Answers

Answer:

B The forces acting on the book are in equilibrium

Explanation:

The book that lies on the table and does not move according to Newton's First Law of motion, because there are no net forces acting on it, therefore the net force (the sum of forces acting on the book) is zero

Therefore, the magnitude of the forces acting on the book and the direction in which the forces acts on the balance each other such that the book is in an equilibrium state because the forces acting on the book (which can cause the book to move) are in equilibrium

Therefore, the book is not moving because the forces on the book are in equilibrium.

The diver uses compressed air to breathe under water. 1700 litres of air from the atmosphere is compressed into a 12-litre gas cylinder. The compressed air quickly cools to its original temperature. Calculate the pressure of the air in the cylinder.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

A diver works in the sea on a day when the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. The diver uses compressed air to breathe under water. 1700 litres of air from the atmosphere is compressed into a 12-litre gas cylinder. The compressed air quickly cools to its original temperature. Calculate the pressure of the air in the cylinder.

Solution:

Boyles law states that the volume of a given gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas, provided that the temperature is constant.

That is:

P ∝ 1/V;   PV = constant

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Given that P₁ = initial pressure = 101 kPa, V₁ = initial volume = 1700 L, P₂ = cylinder pressure, V₂ = cylinder volume = 12 L. Hence:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

100 kPa * 1700 L = P₂ * 12 L

P₂ = (100 kPa * 1700 L) / 12 L

P₂ = 14308 kPa

What is the time required for sound to travel 1.75 km if the temp of the air is 20 C°?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The 2 equations we need for this are

[tex]v=331.5+.606T[/tex] and

d = rt. First we need to find the velocity using the first equation, then we will plug it into the distance equation as the rate to find the time.

v = 331.5 + .606(20.0) I used 3 sig figs for the temp instead of the 1 found in 20.

v = 331.5 + 12.1 so

v = 343.6 m/s

Now, before we can find the time in seconds, we need to convert the distance to meters.

1.75 km = 1750 m:

1750 = 343.6t so

t = 5.09 seconds

Two sound waves (speed 343 m/s) have different wavelengths. The first has a wavelength of 5.72 m, and the second a wavelength of 11.44 m. What beat frequency do you hear from these two waves?

Answers

Answer:

The beat frequency is 30 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the two sound waves, v = 343 m/s

wavelength of the first wave, λ₁ = 5.72 m

wavelength of the second wave, λ₂ = 11.44 m

The frequency of the first wave is calculated as follows;

F₁ = v/λ₁

F₁ = 343 / 5.72

F₁ = 59.97 HZ

The frequency of the second wave is calculated as follows;

F₂ = v/λ₂

F₂ = 343 / 11.44

F₂ = 29.98 Hz

The beat frequency is calculated as;

Fb = F₁ - F₂

Fb =  59.97 HZ - 29.98 Hz

Fb = 30 Hz

Una placa de cobre a 20°C tiene unas dimensiones de 65cm x 78 cm. Encuentra el área de la placa a 400°C; Coeficiente de dilatación del cobre es (17x10^-6 )1/°C

Answers

Answer:

El área de la placa es aproximadamente 5102.752 centímetros cuadrados.

Explanation:

Asumamos que el cambio dimensional como consecuencia de la temperatura es pequeña, entonces podemos estimar el área de la placa de cobre en función de la temperatura mediante la siguiente aproximación:

[tex]A_{f} = w\cdot l \cdot [1 + 2\cdot \alpha\cdot (T_{f}-T_{o})][/tex] (1)

Donde:

[tex]w[/tex] - Ancho de la placa, en centímetros.

[tex]l[/tex] - Longitud de la placa, en centímetros.

[tex]\alpha[/tex] - Coeficiente de dilatación, en [tex]\frac{1}{^{\circ}C}[/tex].

[tex]T_{o}[/tex] - Temperatura inicial, en grados Celsius.

[tex]T_{f}[/tex] - Temperatura final, en grados Celsius.

Si sabemos que [tex]w = 65\,cm[/tex], [tex]l = 78\,cm[/tex], [tex]\alpha = 17\times 10^{-6}\,\frac{1}{^{\circ}C}[/tex], [tex]T_{o} = 20\,^{\circ}C[/tex] and [tex]T_{f} = 400\,^{\circ}C[/tex], entonces el área de la placa a la temperatura final:

[tex]A_{f} = (65\,cm)\cdot (78\,cm)\cdot \left[1+\left(17\times 10^{-6}\,\frac{1}{^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (400\,^{\circ}C-20\,^{\circ}C)\right][/tex]

[tex]A_{f} = 5102.752\,cm^{2}[/tex]

El área de la placa es aproximadamente 5102.752 centímetros cuadrados.

Answer:

(C) 700 N

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the mountain climber, m = 100 kg

The angle formed by the rope with the horizontal, θ = 45°

The gravitational field strength, g = 10 N/kg

The weight of the man, W = m × g

∴ W = 100 kg × 10 N/kg = 1,000 N

At equilibrium, we have;

The downward force, the weight of the man, W = The upward force, the vertical component of the tension on the two halves of the rope

We have;

W = T × sin(θ) + T × sin(θ)

∴ 1,000 N = 2 × T × sin(45°)

Therefore, we have;

T = 1,000 N/(2 × sin(45°)) = 707.106781 Newtons

Therefore, the tension in the rope is closest to (approximately) 700 N.

The temperature of evaporation is much higher for water than for alcohol. Without knowing more about the chemistry of alcohol, which of the following is the most logical chemical explanation for this phenomenon? Group of answer choices Ionic bonds form between alcohol molecules. These are the weakest type of bond and are easier to break than the hydrogen bonds between water molecules. Fewer hydrogen bonds form between alcohol molecules. As a result, less heat is needed for alcohol molecules to break away from solution and enter the air. Alcohol has a higher surface tension than water. This means that alcohol molecules can easily break away from other alcohol molecules and evaporate at a lower temperature. Alcohol molecules are more cohesive than water molecules. This means that as alcohol molecules evaporate, they pull other alcohol molecules into the air along with them.
