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.

Dos ciclistas se encuentran compitiendo en un velódromo. Considere que el peso de cada ciclista es W1 y el peso de cada bicicleta es W2. En el instante en el que los dos ciclistas se encuentran uno al lado del otro, es correcto afirmar que:A. Las velocidades de ambos ciclistas son iguales B. Las posiciones y las velocidades son iguales C. Las posiciones son las mismas D. Las posiciones como las aceleraciones son iguales

Answers

Comenzemos con unas definiciones.

La posición nos dice la ubicación espacial de un dado objeto.

La velocidad nos dice como cambia la posición a medida que pasa el tiempo.

La aceleración nos dice como cambia la velocidad a medida que pasa el tiempo.

Teniendo esto en cuenta, la respuesta correcta La respuesta correcta es la opción C: "Las posiciones son las mismas"

Para poder entender esto, podemos desarrollar:

Ahora, supongamos un ejemplo.

Sea una persona caminando y un auto yendo en la misma dirección, de tal forma que la persona comienza varios metros delante del auto.

A medida que el auto aumenta su velocidad, eventualmente se encontrara al lado de la persona.

Naturalmente, es fácil darse cuenta de que tanto la velocidad como la aceleración del auto serán mayores que las de la persona, pero la posición (almenos en una dimensión) será la misma.

Podemos interpolar esto a cualquier situación similar, sabemos que para dos objetos que estén al lado del otro la posición será la misma, pero sin más contexto no podemos concluir nada sobre la relación entre las velocidades y las aceleraciones.

Con esto en mente, la respuesta correcta es la opción C: "Las posiciones son las mismas"

If the force of attraction btw earth and us is equal n opposite then why is the net force zero and if it is zero why do we get pulled towards earth

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

It's not equal and opposite. You're thinking of Newton's 3rd Law. This is not that. This is gravitational attraction between 2 objects. We can figure out mathematically the pull that the earth has on a single person, by using the equation for gravitational force and the universal gravitational constant, G:

[tex]F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex] where G is the universal gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one person, m2 is the mass of the earth, and r-squared is the addition of the radius of the earth plus the radius of you in relation to the surface of the earth.

Let's say a person weighs 150 pounds; in Newtons this is 667 N (rounded from 667.233); his mass then, in terms of the metric system (using 9.8 for gravity), is 68.2 kg. Let's also say that this person is 6 feet tall. 6 feet is the same as 1.83 m (rounded to 3 sig fig's) and the radius from that person's center to the surface of the earth would be about half that height at r = .915 meters. Filling in the formula:

[tex]F_g=\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(68.2)(5.98*10^{24})}{(6.38*10^6)^2}[/tex] it turns out that the person's radius adds nothing significantly to the radius of the earth, so it doesn't even count mathematically. It's way too small compared to the earth's radius (which is the denominator of that equation). We find that

[tex]F_g=668N[/tex] That's the pull that the earth has on that person which, not coincidentally, is the weight in pounds we said that the person was. Isn't physics amazing!?

In the two-slit experiment, the distance between the slits and the screen is 1.15 m and the distance between the slits is 0.100 mm. If the first-order bright fringe is measured to be 4.2 cm from the centerline, what is the wavelength of light?

Answers

Given,
D = 1.15 m (distance of slots from
screen)
d = 0.100 mm
10^-4 m (distance between the two slits)
m = 1 (first order bright fringe)
xm = 4.2 cm
0.042 m (distance of first order bright fringe from centreline)

We know that,
xm = m* D λ/d (λ= wavelength)
0.042 = 1* 1.15 λ/10^-4
λ = (0.042 * 10^-4)/1.15

Therefore,
λ = 0.0365 * 10^-4
3.65 * 10^-6 m (approx)

An imaginary star is four light years from earth. The star has a planet, upon which a large mirror has been installed. The mirror faces earth. A ten year old boy aims his telescope at the mirror,then the boy would be 14 years old when he will see his own reflection.

What is a light year?


It can be defined as the distance travelled by the light in one year .it is represented in units of distance such as miles or km.

1 light year is calculated by multiplying the speed of light with the time of one year

1 light year = speed of light × one year time period

1 light year = 3×10⁸ ×(365×24×60×60)

                  =9.461× 10¹⁵ meter


As given in the problem 10 year old boy aims his telescope at the mirror which is 4 light years away then the light has to travel four years to reach the boy ,then the boy would be 14 year old when he would see his own reflection.
