Recall rem = rad x q radiation weighting factor (q): the ability to transfer energy to the body 1 for photons 1 for electrons 2

for protons 20 for alpha particles, fission fragments, and heavy ions 2 to 20 for neutrons, depending on the energy level suppose two people are exposed to equal doses of radiation (equal number of rads) inside their bodies. suppose that the first person is exposed to alpha radiation, while the second person is exposed to protons. how many times worse is the biological risk for the first person than the second as a result of radiation weighting?

The biological risk for the first person than the second as a result of radiation weighting is 10 times.

<h3>What is radiation weighting factor?</h3>

As stated in the question, radiation weighting factor (q) is the ability to transfer energy to the body.

If radiation factor of proton = 2, and radiation factor of alpha particles = 20.

  • First person is exposed to alpha radiation = 20
  • Second person is exposed to protons = 2

Risk of first person with respect to second person = 20/2 = 10 times higher

How many pili are in a bacterial cell
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer: Bacterial species where observed Typical number on cell Distribution on cell surface

Escherichia coli (common pili or Type 1 fimbriae) 100-200 uniform

Neisseria gonorrhoeae 100-200 uniform

Streptococcus pyogenes (fimbriae plus the M-protein) ? uniform

Pseudomonas aeruginosa 10-20 polar

Explanation:

Pili are structures that extend from the surface of some bacterial cells.

These are hollow, non-helical, filamentous appendages.

Hi, how are you today i want you to answer this question please because it’s homework for my sister and she have to show the tea
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The Earth's surface is constantly changing through forces in nature. The daily processes of precipitation, wind and land movement result in changes to landforms over a long period of time. Driving forces include erosion, volcanoes and earthquakes. People also contribute to changes in the appearance of land.

You have a mass of 54 kg and are sitting on a stool. The normal force the stool applies on you is ...
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

529.2 N

Explanation:

As we have studied the first law of motion, which states that every action has some reaction, equal in magnitude but having an opposite direction.

The force that is acting on the student will be due to gravitational force, that is equal to his weight.

                                              F=mg: 54kg x 9.8m/s^2 =529.2 N

So the weight of student is exerting downwards towards the stool and land. The stool will also exert a force on the student that will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, then it will be 529.2 N.

This is because the student is sitting in a constant state and all the weight is exerted on the stool.

Note: This answer is very generic supposing that all the weight of the student is on stool. But, if we suppose that student's legs are on floor so it means the force of gravity acting on the stool has become less because student's mass on stool is less. So the answer would be a force somehow less than 529.2 N.  However, since the question asked normal force, it would be weight of student in general terms.

Hope it helps!
