Answer:
<h2><em>
6000 counts per second</em></h2>
Explanation:
If a sample emits 2000 counts per second when the detector is 1 meter from the sample, then;
2000 counts per second = 1 meter ... 1
In order to know the number of counts per second that would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample, we will have;
x count per second = 3 meter ... 2
Solving the two expressions simultaneously for x we will have;
2000 counts per second = 1 meter
x counts per second = 3 meter
Cross multiply to get x
2000 * 3 = 1* x
6000 = x
<em></em>
<em>This shows that 6000 counts per second would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample</em>
In very very very round figures . . .
-- Jupiter is about 5.2 times as far from the sun as the earth is.
-- So when Jupiter and the EARTH are aligned in both orbits, Jupiter is about
(4.2) x (150 million kilometers) = 630 million kilometers
Time = (distance) / (speed)
The speed of light and radio is 300,000 km/second
Time = (630 million / 300 thousand)
<em>Time = 2,100 seconds</em>
That's 35 minutes.
In general,
Power = (energy moved) / (time to move the energy) .
If it's mechanical power, then
Power = (work done) / (time to do the work) .
If it's electrical power, then it can be any one of these:
Power = (volts) x (amperes)
Power = (volts)² / (resistance, ohms)
Power = (amperes)² x (resistance, ohms) .
Whatever kind of energy you're dealing with, power always
turns out to be
(amount of energy produced, used, or moved)
divided by
(time taken to produce, use, or move the energy) .
A series circuit means that there is only one current. Which means that everything is sharing that one wire. Homes are normally wired with a parallel circuit, which means that there is more than one current running through the house. If you have a series, if you turn on one thing for example a light switch, than everything will turn on with it. But of you have a parallel you can turn on everything one by one, and save energy.
Trust me. I just took my semester test in physical science this morning, and I passed. This is exactly what we learned. <span />
