Help! 20 points A scientist has two radioactive substances. One emits beta particles, and the other emits alpha particles. He thinks that since the alpha particles are larger, they are more dangerous to humans. Is he correct? Why or why not?

No, because beta particles move faster and can penetrate into the human body more easily.
No, because neither type of particle is dangerous to humans.
Yes, because alpha particles move more slowly, and therefore leave more lasting damage to humans.
Yes, because the larger particles carry more energy and can cause more damage to cells.

Although longitudinal waves can travel through all media types what is the disadvantage of this type of wave transmission? a) he efficiency of he wave transmission is greatly diminished as the media becomes less dense b) the oscillation of one set of particles has a huge impact on neighboring particles c) particles become too close together as they bump into each other making it more likely to hit other particles down the line

The dipole moment of the water molecule (h2o) is 6.17x10^-30 c.m. consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment p points in the +x-direction. a chlorine ion ( of charge-1.60x10^-19c , is located at x=3.00x10^-9m . assume that is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis can be used. a) find the magnitude of the electric force that the water molecule exerts on the chlorine ion. b) what is the direction of the electric force. -x-direction or +x-direction c) is this force attractive or repulsive?
