The word ‘radiation’ is used to describe particles or waves that are emitted by an object (known as a ‘source’) and carry energy. Name two types of radiation other than nuclear radiation. For each type, name one source of that type of radiation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The word ‘radiation’ is used to describe particles or waves that are emitted by an object  

In physics, radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium. This includes: electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma radiation (γ)

Explanation:

There are four major types of radiation: alpha, beta, neutrons, and electromagnetic waves such as gamma rays. They differ in mass, energy and how deeply they penetrate people and objects.

The first is an alpha particle. These particles consist of two protons and two neutrons and are the heaviest type of radiation particle. Many of the naturally occurring radioactive materials in the earth, like uranium and thorium, emit alpha particles

The second kind of radiation is a beta particle. It's an electron that is not attached to an atom. It has a small mass and a negative charge. Tritium, which is produced by cosmic radiation in the atmosphere and exists all around us, emits beta radiation. Carbon-14, used in carbon-dating of fossils and other artifacts, also emits beta particles. Carbon-dating simply makes use of the fact that carbon-14 is radioactive. If you measure the beta particles, it tells you how much carbon-14 is left in the fossil, which allows you to calculate how long ago the organism was alive.

The third is a neutron. This is a particle that doesn't have any charge and is present in the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons are commonly seen when uranium atoms split, or fission, in a nuclear reactor. If it wasn't for the neutrons, you wouldn't be able to sustain the nuclear reaction used to generate power.

The last kind of radiation is electromagnetic radiation, like X-rays and gamma rays. They are probably the most familiar type of radiation because they are used widely in medical treatments. These rays are like sunlight, except they have more energy. Unlike the other kinds of radiation, there is no mass or charge. The amount of energy can range from very low, like in dental x-rays, to the very high levels seen in irradiators used to sterilize medical equipment.

how much electrical energy is used by the river cooker oven rated 800 W ,230 V is switched on for 30 minutes

Answers

Answer:

E = 1440 kJ

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power of a cooker oven is 800 W

Voltage at which it is operated is 230 V

Time, t = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

We need to find the electrical energy used by the cooker oven. The product of power and time is equal to the energy consumed. So,

[tex]E=P\times t\\\\E=800\ W\times 1800\ s\\\\E=1440000\ J\\\\\text{or}\\\\E=1440\ kJ[/tex]

So, electrical energy of 1440 kJ is consumed by the cooker oven.

State the relative position for the sun and earth during the lunar eclipse (ASAP)

Answers

Answer:

Solar eclipses result from the Moon blocking the Sun relative to the Earth; thus Earth, Moon and Sun all lie on a line. Lunar eclipses work the same way in a different order: Moon, Earth and Sun all on a line. In this case the Earth's shadow hides the Moon from view.

In the vertical columns of the periodic table:
Atomic weight increases from top to bottom.
Outer shell electrons increases from top to bottom.
The number of shells increases from top to bottom.
All the physical properties are identical.

Answers

Answer:

C. The number of shells increases from top to bottom

Explanation:

There are some trends about the periodic table, one of them is that in the vertical columns of periodic table, the number of shells increases from top to bottom.

From top to bottom in a periodic table, the number of electrons increases, thus more number of shells are needed to fill these electrons and the number of shells increases or we can say the atomic radius increases from top to bottom.

Hence, the correct option is "C".

if the velocity of a train starts from rest is 72km/h(20m/s) after 5 minutes, find out its acceleration and the distance travelled by the train in this time

Answers

Explanation:

Convert the time to seconds : 5minutes × 60 = 300seconds

Acceleration = Velocity / Time

Acceleration = 20m/s / 300s

Acceleration = 0.067m/s²

Distance = Velocity × Time

Distance = 20m/s × 300seconds

Distance = 6000m

A central air-conditioner uses 3500W of electricity. If electricity costs $0.087/kW*h. calculate how much it would cost to operate the air-conditioner 24 hours a day for 4 months (120 days).

Answers

Answer:

$876.96

Explanation:

The energy used is:

3500 W × (24 hr/day) × (120 day) × (1 kW / 1000 W) = 10,080 kWh.

So the cost is:

10,080 kWh × ($0.087 / kWh) = $876.96

3) A charged particle is moving with velocity of V in a magnetic field of B, which one of the followings is correct: A) The direction of force F on the charge is parallel to magnetic field B B) The direction of force F on the charge is parallel to velocity direction V C) The force is maximized when velocity direction and magnetic field are parallel D) The force F is perpendicular (normal) to both velocity V and magnetic field B E) The direction of force on positive charge or negative charge would be the same

Answers

Answer:

D) The force F is perpendicular (normal) to both velocity V and magnetic field B.

Explanation:

When a charged particle enters a magnetic field, it experiences a force which changes its direction of travel. The direction of motion of the charged particle, the magnetic field direction, and the direction of the force, are all perpendicular to one another. According to Lorentz right hand rule, hold the right hand parallel to the ground, with the palm facing up, and the thumb held out at right angle to the other fingers. If the direction of the other fingers represents the magnetic field line and direction, and the thumb represents the direction of motion of a positively charged particle, then, the palm will push up in the direction of the force. For a negatively charged particle, the force will push down in the direction of the back of the hand.

If you look at faint stars, you can see them more easily on the edges of your vision than if you try to look directly at them. Why is this true?

Answers

Answer:

The retina comprises of rod and cone cells . The rod cells are responsible for black and white vision and require low light levels while the cone cells are responsible for color vision and require good/high light levels for better functioning.

When faint stars are looked at on the edges of the vision it allows more light from faint objects to strike the rod cells which then becomes more visible.

One end of a graphite rod is brought near a heat source. How does the other end of the rod eventually heat up? A. Directly from the heat source B. Vibrations from neighboring atoms C. Waves from the heat source D. Waves from neighboring atoms

Answers

Answer:

Vibrations from neighboring atoms

Explanation:

When a rod is heated, the thermal energy transferred to the molecules of the rod causes them to vibrate faster. As the molecules near the heat source vibrate faster, they eventually transfer their excess energy to neighbouring molecules which also begin to vibrate faster. This continues until heat is distributed throughout the length of the rod.

The process described above is known as heat transfer by conduction.

A flashlight contains a battery of two cells in series, with a bulb of resistance 12 Ohms. The internal resistance of each cell is 0.26 ohms. If the potential difference across the bulb is 2.88V, what is the emf of EACH cell?

Answers

Answer:

1.5024

Explanation:

Draw a diagram. Put the two cells in series. Now draw 3 resistors. Two of them equal 0.26 ohms each. The third one is the lightbulb which is 12 ohms.

R = 0.26 + 0.26 + 12 = 12.52

The bulb has a voltage of 2.88 volts across it. You can get the current from that.

i = E / R

i = 2.88 / 12 =

i = 0.24 amps.

Now you can get the voltage drop across the two cells.

E = ?

R = 0.26

i = 0.24 amps

E = 0.26 * 0.24

E = 0. 0624

Finally divide the 2.88 by 2 to get 1.44

Each cell has an emf of 1.44 + 0.0624 = 1.5024

A 2.00 m long string transmits
waves at 12.9 m/s. At what
frequency will it create standing
waves with 3 loops?
(Unit = Hz)

Answers

Answer:

The frequency at which the string will create a standing wave be  with three loops is 8.6 Hz

Explanation:

The speed of the of the wave, v = 12.9 m/s

The number of loops of the standing wave = 3 loops

The length of the string = 2.00 m

Given that one loo = half of the wavelength, we have;

Three loops = 3 × half = One and half wavelength  = 1.5·λ

The frequency of a wave = f = v/λ

Therefore, we have;

The frequency, f = 12.9/1.5 = 8.6 Hz

The frequency at which the string will create a standing wave be  with three loops = 8.6 Hz.

The magnitude and direction of the net external force on the rope will be 27 N towards the right.

What is force?

Force is defined as the push or pull applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body. Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

Force acting on the left , F₁= 75 N

Force acting on the , F₂=102 N

Net force (F)=?

The net force is found as;

I have this question where I think the answer is "directed north of east," but apparently it is not. Can someone explain: vectors v1 andv2 shown below have equal magnitudes. the vectors represent the velocities of an object at times t1, and t2, respectively. the average acceleration of the object between time t1 and t2 was...

Answers

Answer:

North of west

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

The x component of the acceleration is:

aₓ = (0 − v₁ₓ) / (t₂ − t₁)

aₓ = -v₁ₓ / (t₂ − t₁)

aₓ < 0

The y component of the acceleration is:

aᵧ = (v₂ − v₁ᵧ) / (t₂ − t₁)

aᵧ > 0

Therefore, the acceleration points northwest.

The average acceleration of the object between time t1 and t2 was directed north of west.

What is Vector?

A quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude.Here , the velocities are V1 and V2.V1 has two components , one in X direction Vx and other is in Y  direction Vy.Now . acceleration = change in velocity with respect to time , i.e.  

                             a = v/t

Now, The x component of the acceleration is:

          aₓ = (V2 − V1x) / (t2 − t1)

          aₓ = -V1x/ (t2 − t1)

Because the x component of V2 is 0.

          aₓ < 0

Similarly, The y component of the acceleration is:

          aᵧ = (v₂ − v₁ᵧ) / (t₂ − t₁)

          aᵧ > 0

Thus, The average acceleration of the object between time t1 and t2 was directed north of west.
