Ionising radiation (ionizing radiation) is radiation that carries enough energy to free electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them. Ionizing radiation is made up of energetic subatomic particles, ions or atoms moving at high speeds (usually greater than 1% of the speed of light), and electromagnetic waves on the high-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum.

5. If a spring with a 40 N/m spring constant is used to push a 10 kg ball to a speed of 2 m/s,

kolbaska11 [484]

By compressing the spring a distance x (in m), you are storing 1/2 k x ² (in J) of potential energy, which is converted completely into kinetic energy 1/2 m v ², where

• k = 40 N/m = spring constant

• m = 10 kg = mass of the ball

• v = 2 m/s = ball's speed (at the moment the spring returns to its equilibrium point)

So we have

1/2 k x ² = 1/2 m v ²

x = √(m/k v ²) = √((10 kg) / (40 N/m) (2 m/s)²) = 1 m

The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate

sveta [45]

Answer:

It would take approximately 289 hours for the population to double

Explanation:

Recall the expression for the continuous exponential growth of a population:

$N(t)=N_0\,e^{kt}$

where N(t) measures the number of individuals, No is the original population, "k" is the percent rate of growth, and "t" is the time elapsed.

In our case, we don't know No (original population, but know that we want it to double in a certain elapsed "t". We also have in mind that the percent rate "k" would be expressed in mathematical form as: 0.0024 (mathematical form of the given percent growth rate).

So we need to solve for "t" in the following equation:

$2\,N_0=N_0\,e^{0.0024\,t}\\\frac{2\,N_0}{N_0} =e^{0.0024\,t}\\2=e^{0.0024\,t}\\ln(2)=0.0024\,t\\t=\frac{ln(2)}{0.0024} \\t=288.811\,\, hours$

Which can be rounded to about 289 hours
