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.

You knew that this question is ridiculously easy.  So, just to
make it harder, you decided not to let us see the picture, so
that we could not "examine the circuit".

The description is talking about a parallel circuit.  The other
kind is a series circuit, and that one has no forks in the road.

Students were discussing a problem in which the class was asked to find the acceleration of a cart rolling up and down an inclin
velikii [3]

Sasha is correct: No, the velocity is changing at the top so the acceleration cant be zero.

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change in velocity of the object:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} (1)

where

\Delta v is the change in velocity

\Delta t is the time interval

For the cart on the ramp, as the cart reaches the top of the ramp, its velocity becomes temporarily zero:

v = 0

This is the origin of Malia's mistake.

However, this only lasts a moment; in reality, its velocity is changing, in particular its direction is changing (from upward to downward).

As we can see from eq.(1), a non-zero change in velocity implies a non-zero acceleration. Therefore, Sasha is right, since the cart has a non-zero acceleration.

A perpetual motion machine is (as the name implies) a machine that moves perpetually; it never stops. Ever. So if you created one today and set it going, it would keep on going until the Big Freeze<span>. Calling that “a long time” is an understatement of epic proportions</span>

The three point charges +4.0 μC, -5.0 μC, and -9.0 μC are placed on the x-axis at the points x = 0 cm, x = 40 cm, and x = 120 cm
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

 

Explanation:

4μC will attract -9μC towards the centre and -5μC will repel it away from the centre.  Both these forces are opposite to each other.

Force due to 4μC on -9μC towards the centre

= k x Q₁ Q₂/R² = 9 X 10⁹ X 4 X 10⁻⁶ X 9 X 10⁻⁶ / (1.2)² = 225 X 10⁻³ N/C

Force due to -5μC on -9μC  away from the centre

= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁶x 9 x 10⁻⁶/( 0.8)² = 632.8 x 10⁻³ .N/C

Ner field =407.8 N/C.
