Irina-Kira [14]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Few millimeter thick aluminium, water, wood, acrylic glass or plastic.

Explanation:

The materials that are best for protection against beta particles are few millimeter thickness of aluminium, but for the high energy beta-particles radiations the low atomic mass materials such as plastic, wood, water and acrylic glass can be used.

These materials can also be used in personal protective equipment which includes all the clothing that can be worn to prevent any injury or illness due to the exposure to radiation.

If a 3-kg rabbit's leg muscles act as imperfectly elastic springs, how much energy will they hold if the rabbit lands from a hei
DiKsa [7]

Answer;

- 15 J

Explanation;

-Potential energy is defined as mechanical energy, stored energy, or energy caused by its position.

-For the gravitational force the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m /s² at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters.

Potential energy of the rabbit at the peak of its height is

PE = (3)(10)(0.5) = 15 J

(around 14.7 but because energy is lost, it is less than that)

Which statement about electrons and atomic orbitals is NOT true?
balandron [24]

<em>An electron has the same amount of energy in all orbitals  is not true</em>

\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Further~explanation}}}

In an atom there are levels of energy in the skin and sub skin.

  • This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.

Writing electron configurations starts from the lowest to the highest sub-shell energy level.

So electrons that occupy the orbitals in the lowest sub-skin have the lowest energy level

  • In the principle of Pauli's prohibition it was stated that there are no two electrons in one atom that can have the same four quantum numbers.

So suppose that there are two electrons occupying one orbital can have the same main quantum number (n), azimuth (l) and magnetic (m), then the last quantum number that is the quantum spin number (s) must be different.

So that the two electrons are different from just the quantum spin number, even though the other quantum numbers are the same.

So in one orbital only a maximum of 2 electrons is occupied, because if there is a third electron, this third electron will have the same quantum spin number as the previous electron

  • The electron cloud is a visual representation of the location of electrons in an atom.

Orbital is the place around the nucleus where electrons may be found

Electron clouds show the state of electrons in their orbitals

So electron clouds can show the condition of all orbitals in an atom

The lowest energy level of an electron occupies a sub-skin of 1s which has only one orbital

Charging electrons in the sub skin uses the following sequence:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.

Statement about electrons and atomic orbitals is not true is An electron has the same amount of energy in all orbitals

A 50-kg person stands 1.5 m away from one end of a uniform 6.0-m-long scaffold of mass 70.0 kg.
babymother [125]

Answer

given,

mass of the person, m = 50 Kg

length of scaffold = 6 m

mass of scaffold, M= 70 Kg

distance of person standing from one end = 1.5 m

Tension in the vertical rope = ?

now equating all the vertical forces acting in the system.

T₁ + T₂ = m g + M g

T₁ + T₂ = 50 x 9.8  + 70 x 9.8

T₁ + T₂ = 1176...........(1)

system is equilibrium so, the moment along the system will also be zero.

taking moment about rope with tension T₂.

now,

T₁ x 6 - mg x (6-1.5) - M g x 3 = 0

'3 m' is used because the weight of the scaffold pass through center of gravity.

6 T₁ = 50 x 9.8 x 4.5 + 70 x 9.8 x 3

6 T₁ = 4263

    T₁ = 710.5 N

from equation (1)

T₂ = 1176 - 710.5

 T₂ = 465.5 N

hence, T₁ = 710.5 N and T₂ = 465.5 N

What is the momentum of a 533 kg blimp moving east at +75 m/s
mylen [45]

Answer:

39975kgm/s due east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the blimp  = 533kg

Velocity  = +75m/s due east

Unknown:

Momentum of the body  = ?

Solution:

The momentum of a body is the amount of motion it posses.

 Momentum is the product of mass and velocity;

 

  Momentum = mass x velocity

  Insert the parameters and solve;

    Momentum  = 533 x 75  = 39975kgm/s

The momentum of the body is 39975kgm/s due east

Utility poles are to be set every 30 meters. How many poles will be set in one mile if one was set at the beginning of the mile)
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

53

Explanation:

Because there are 1609.34 meters in a mile. 1609.34÷30=53.64 but because you put one at the beginning of the mile it will stay 53 and not round up to 54
