Physics Questions

The highly energetic gamma particles can penetrate most compounds that stop by other types of radiation. However, lead, steel, or concrete can reduce the high energy of these particles, making them less penetrating.

Hence, Gamma radiation can be stopped by a several inches of lead or steel, or several meters of concrete.

The land breeze is a coastal breeze at night blowing from the land to the ocean. It is caused by the difference in the rates of cooling of the land and of the ocean. Once again, the bigger the difference in temperature between the two, the stronger the wind.

The easiest way would measure it through half a liter water bottle. There are approximately 16.9 ounces(oz) of water in a 500ml water bottle.

Gallon is an imperial customary volume unit for the U.S.

As we have previously mentioned, the 16.9oz bottle is also known as 500ml in the metric system. According to U.S. standard, 1 gallon stands for 128 fluid oz.

Hence, Number of bottles in 1 gallon = 128/16.9 = 7.57 =~ 8.

General purpose gloves - utility gloves are recommended for cleaning procedures, such as handling soiled linens or decontaminating care areas. Utility gloves are more tear and puncture resistant than other gloves.

So, resistance of Wire 2 is R/4 as radius is half of wire 1, so area would be 4 times of wire 1.

Now for resistance in series. R= R1 + R2.

Therefore, Final R= R + R/4 = 5R/4

Sound intensity or level is measured by a unit called a decibel. An 85 decibel noise level is not a safe standard for the public.

Hence, Acceptable noise level for human ear is less than 85 db.

The flow of thermal energy due to differences in their temperatures is called Heat.
