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.

Deep-sea divers often breathe a mixture of helium and oxygen to avoid getting the "bends" from breathing high-pressure nitrogen.
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

0.69444 m, 0.08152 m, 0.32407 m, 0.03804 m

Explanation:

v = Velocity of sound

f = Frequency

Length of vocal tract is given by

L=\dfrac{v}{4f}

At f = 270 Hz v = 750 m/s

L=\dfrac{750}{4\times 270}\\\Rightarrow L=0.69444\ m

At f = 2300 Hz v = 750 m/s

L=\dfrac{750}{4\times 2300}\\\Rightarrow L=0.08152\ m

At f = 270 Hz v = 350 m/s

L=\dfrac{350}{4\times 270}\\\Rightarrow L=0.32407\ m

At f = 2300 Hz v = 350 m/s

L=\dfrac{350}{4\times 2300}\\\Rightarrow L=0.03804\ m

Aneli [31]
The type of figurative language that Freneau employ in these lines from "The Wild Honeysuckle" is personification. The correct answer would be option D. Why is it personification? Personification is a figure of speech that uses human attributes to something that is not living. In this line, the author attributes the words "roving" and "busy" to foot and hand, respectively.

A 50-kg platform diver hits the water below with a kinetic energy of 5000 Joules. The height (relative to the water) from which
artcher [175]

Answer:

h = 10 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of platform = 50 Kg

Kinetic energy = 5000 J

height from which the diver dove = ?

taking acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy is converted into mechanical energy

K.E = P.E

K.E =  m g h

5000 = 50 x 10 x h

500 h = 5000

 h = \dfrac{5000}{500}

    h = 10 m

The height from which the diver dove is equal to h = 10 m

A stunt pilot weighing 0.70 kN performs a vertical circular dive of radius 0.80 km.At the bottom of the dive, the pilot has a sp
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

 Force plane exert on pilot  = 4270 N

Explanation:

first convert radius and speed to ms

using formula from force we know that

mass = weight/ gravity =  700 N/ 9.8N/kg=  71.4 kg

Fc=  N-mg

N= Fc+ mg                  As Fc = mv²/R

N= mv²/R + mg

taking m common

N= m( v²/R +g)

   = 71.4( (200)²/ 800 + 9.8 )

 Force  = 4270 N

Suppose that a freely falling object were somehow equipped with an odometer. Would the readings of distance fallen each second i
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

1  greater distances fallen in successive seconds

Explanation:

When a body falls freely it is subjected to the action of the force of gravity, which gives an acceleration of 9.8 m / s2, consequently, we are in an accelerated movement

If we use the kinematic formula we can find the position of the body

       Y = Vo t + ½ to t2

Where the initial velocity is zero or constant and the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity

Y = - ½ g t2 = - ½ 9.8 t2 = -4.9 t2

Let's look for the position for successive times

t (s)      Y (m)

  1          -4.9

  2         -19.6

   3        -43.2

The sign indicates that the positive sense is up

It can be clearly seen that the distance is greatly increased every second that passes
