Answer:

B. 5.9 X 10^9

Explanation:

For this question, we assume the following:

•2.3 x 1014 inches is actually 2.3 x 10^14 inches.

•3.9 x 104inches is actually 3.9 x 10^4inches

We now calculate thus;

The average distance in km would be 2.3 x 10^14/3.9 x 10^4

= 0.59 X 10^10.

Therefore, we have;

5.9 X 10^9km.

Andreyy89

Explanation:

When bullet is shot towards the monkey then let say the distance of monkey from the bullet is "d"

so we can find the time to reach the bullet to the monkey

t = \frac{d}{vcos\theta}

Now similarly we can find the vertical displacement of the bullet in the same time

\Delta y = vsin\theta t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

\Delta y = v sin\theta (\frac{d}{vcos\theta}) - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

so it is given as

\Delta y = d tan\theta - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

here if the monkey is initially at height H above the ground at given angle then we can say

H = dtan\theta

so we can say that

\Delta y = H - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

So if at the same time monkey will fall down then the height of monkey from ground after time "t" is given as

\Delta y = H - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

so here bullet will hit the monkey as both monkey and bullet are at same position.

Which applications, either for diagnostic purposes or for therapeutic purposes, involve the use of X-rays
Alina [70]

The applications, either for diagnostic purposes or for therapeutic purposes, involve the use of X-rays----CT scan radiography ,external beam radiation therapy, fluoroscopy.

How is CT used for treatment planning?

CT planning enables more accurate localisation of both tumour and normal organs in addition to providing an accurate body contour and inhomogeneity corrections.

What is difference between CT scan and fluoroscopy?

Overall, fluoroscopy is a safe procedure, but potential risks include burns or radiation-induced injuries to the skin. On the other hand, CT scans are still snapshots of a “slice” of the body. They use X-rays to help your doctor view important organs

What is a fluoroscopic procedure?

During a fluoroscopy procedure, an X-ray beam is passed through the body. The image is transmitted to a monitor so the movement of a body part or of an instrument or contrast agent (“X-ray dye”) through the body can be seen in detail

When thermal energy is added to an object what happens to the motion of the particles
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The movement of thermal energy from a substance at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature is called heat. When a substance is heated, it gains thermal energy. Therefore, its particles move faster and its temperature rises.

An object with a mass of 1500kg accelerates 10.0m/s when unknown force is applied to it. What is the amount of force?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 15000 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 1500 × 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>15,000 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
