A teacher uses the piece of equipment above and a counter to measure background radiation. The reading on the counter tube is 34 counts per minute. The teacher puts a source of beta radiation in front of the equipment. The reading on the counter is now 468 counts per minute. Calculate how much radiation detected comes from the source of beta radiation

An ionic compound can conduct electricity when a it is dissolved in water b its crystals are ground into powder c it is in solid form d it is heated to just below its melting point

On a frictionless air track, a blue glider with mass 0.200 kg is moving to the right with a speed of 8.00 m/s. it strikes a red glider that has mass 0.600 kg and that is initially at rest. after the collision, the blue glider is moving to the left with a speed of 3.00 m/s.(a) what are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the red glider after the collision? (b) is this collision elastic?

Ascientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surface, making it look rainbow-like (an effect known as iridescence). she aims a spectrometer at a particular spot and measures the wavelength to be 750 nm (in air). the index of refraction of water is 1.3
