The correct order of these types of radiation from highest penetrating power to lowest penetrating power is gamma, beta, and alpha. The correct option is C.
Among gamma, beta, and alpha radiation, gamma radiation has the shortest wavelength. This is because gamma radiation consists of high-energy electromagnetic waves, similar to X-rays and light, but with even shorter wavelengths.
In terms of other properties:
Alpha radiation consists of particles called alpha particles, which are helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons) that are emitted from the nucleus of an atom during radioactive decay. Alpha particles are relatively large and heavy, and they have a positive charge. They have a short range in air and can be stopped by a piece of paper or human skin, but they can cause significant damage to living tissue if they are inhaled or ingested.
Beta radiation consists of particles called beta particles, which are high-energy electrons or positrons that are emitted from the nucleus of an atom during radioactive decay. Beta particles are smaller and lighter than alpha particles, and they have a negative charge. They have a longer range in air than alpha particles, but they can be stopped by a thin sheet of metal or plastic.
Gamma radiation, as mentioned earlier, consists of high-energy electromagnetic waves. Gamma rays are similar to X-rays but have even higher energies and shorter wavelengths. Gamma rays have the longest range in air and require dense materials, such as lead or concrete, to stop them. Gamma radiation is the most penetrating of the three types of radiation and can cause damage to living tissue if exposure is prolonged.

Calculate the change in gravitational potential energy
when a 1.5Kg box falls from a 2m shelf. Take
g=10N/Kg.
Answer:
30J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of box = 1.5kg
Height = 2m
Acceleration due to gravity = 10N/kg
Unknown:
Change in gravitational potential energy = ?
Solution:
The change in gravitational potential energy is given as:
ΔGPE = mgh
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height
ΔGPE = 1.5 x 10 x 2 = 30J
the process through which electrons are attracted to or repelled by an external electric field, causing the electrons to move within their own atoms
Answer:
Polarisation
Explanation:
When the electric field of an atom distorts then the cloud of negative charges move away from the clouds of positive charges. This movement of clouds in opposite direction causes separation of charges and and causes one side positive and one side negative. This process is known as polarisation

A person’s blood type depends on the type of protein marker, called an , found on the cell membranes of the red blood cells.
A person’s blood type depends on the type of protein marker, called an Antigen, found on the cell membranes of the red blood cell.
What is antigen?A molecule known as an antigen is one that triggers the formation of an antibody and the immune system's response.
Large protein molecules known as antigens are found on the surface of pathogens like bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other foreign substances. When these dangerous substances enter the body, the body's immune system reacts by producing antibodies.
The ABO system distinguishes 4 major blood types:
Blood group O - has no antigens, but both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma. Blood group AB - has both A and B antigens, but no antibodies.Blood group A - has A antigens on the red blood cells with anti-B antibodies in the plasma. Blood group B - has B antigens with anti-A antibodies in the plasma.Learn more about antigen here:

Think about the types of forces holding the atoms together in different chemicals. Are there any patterns that can be drawn from the data? Explain.
Hello. You did not enter the data to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to have an exact answer. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
The forces that hold the elements together are called intermolecular forces. They are formed by covalent bonds between the molecules and can be called: dipole-induced (occurs between nonpolar molecules that have a negative pole and a positive pole) and dipole-dipole (occurs between polar moileculas, except when hydrogen is present).

Cyclist 1 pedals 40 kilometers east in 2 hours. Cyclist 2 pedals 10 kilometers west in half an hour. Based on this information, which statement about cyclists is correct?
Answer:
See Explanation
Explanation:
Given
Cyclist 1:
[tex]Distance = 40km[/tex]
[tex]Time = 2hr[/tex]
[tex]Direction = East[/tex]
Cyclist 2:
[tex]Distance = 10km[/tex]
[tex]Time = 0.5hr[/tex]
[tex]Direction = West[/tex]
The question requires options. Since none is given, I'll answer on a general term.
First, calculate the speed of both cyclists
[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
Cyclist 1:
[tex]Distance = 40km[/tex]
[tex]Time = 2hr[/tex]
[tex]Speed = \frac{40km}{2hr}[/tex]
[tex]Speed = 20km/hr[/tex]
Cyclist 2:
[tex]Distance = 10km[/tex]
[tex]Time = 0.5hr[/tex]
[tex]Speed = \frac{10km}{0.5hr}[/tex]
[tex]Speed = 20km/hr[/tex]
The following can be deduced from above:
Both cyclists travel at the same speed of 20km/hrBoth cyclists travel in opposite directions

As altitude increases in the troposphere and stratosphere, the air temperature does what?
A. decreases in the troposphere and increases in the stratosphere.
B. Decreases in both places.
C. Increases in the troposphere and decreases in the stratosphere.
D. Increases in both places
Answer:
1
Explanation:
The correct answer is decreases in the troposphere and increases in the stratosphere.
How does altitude affect the troposphere?For this reason, the density of gases decreases as the distance from Earth's surface increases. Put another way, air pressure (i.e., density) decreases as altitude increases.
How can altitude affect the temperature of a place?The temperature of a place decreases with increasing altitude from the earth's surface.

Mr. White drops a bowling ball and a feather from the top of the Washington Monument.
a) Which will hit the ground first? Why?
b) If Mr. White were to repeat this experiment inside a vacuum chamber, which would hit the ground first? Why?
If you can provide some explanation I would greatly appreciate it! :)
Answer:
A) The bowling ball will hit the ground first. It is heavier, which has greater density, allowing it to reach the ground first.
B) Feather. If you want to be able to blow a bowling ball in a vaccum cleaner, it's almost impossible since it's very heavy. If it's a feather, it would be easier as it's light and the air inside it is able to force it down.

Explanation:
Hooke's law is a law of physics that states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, Fₛ = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring, and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

Example of kinetic to potential ? And how the energy is changing forms???? Please help
Answer:
A ball when from moving to stoping
Explanation:
Kinetic = energy of motion
Potential = energy stored
When you roll a ball on the ground, it gains kinetic energy, but then the ball starts to slow down until it stops and it remains at rest which means it's at potential energy. It went from moving (kinetic) to stoping (potential)
