Answer: Irradiation

Explanation: Irradiation is the process by which the food or the package is first exposed to the ionizing radiation.

The radiations like gamma rays, x-rays or electron beam are exposed to the food which increases the shelf life of the food by killing the harmful bacteria in it or by preventing the growth of harmful bacteria on the food.

It basically aids in killing the bacteria that causes the food spoilage.

The answer is food irradiation. This involves the brief exposure of food to gamma rays or X-rays to kill pathogens that may contribute to food spoilage. This increases the shelf-life of the food. Gamma rays and X-rays emanate from nuclear decay of radioactive materials such as uranium..

Orlov [11]

Answer:

R = 5.28  103 km

Explanation:

The definition of density is

              ρ = m / V

              V = m /ρ

Where m is the mass and V the volume of the body

The volume of a sphere is

            V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

             4/3 π r³ = m / ρ

             R =∛ ¾ m / ρ π

The mass of the planet is

              M = 5.5 Me

              R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 Me /ρ π

Let's reduce the density to SI units

             ρ = 1.76 g / cm³ (1 kg / 10³ g) (10² cm / 1 m)³

             ρ = 1.76 10³ kg / m³

Let's calculate

               R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 5.97 10²⁴ / (1.76 10³ pi)

               R = ∛ 0.14723 10²¹

               R = 0.528 10⁷ m

               R = 0.528 104 km

               R = 5.28  103 km

Arisa [49]

Answer:

F_x = -\frac{6 C_6}{2^7}

Attractive

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms given by \frac{C_6}{X_6}

Based on the given information, the force that one atom exerts on the other is

Potential energy μ = \frac{C_6}{X_6}

Force exerted by one atom upon another

F_x = \frac{\partial U}{\partial X} = \frac{\partial}{\partial X}  (-\frac{C_6}{X^6})

or

F_x = \frac{\partial}{\partial X}  (\frac{C_6}{X^6})

or

F_x = -\frac{6 C_6}{2^7}

As we can see that the C_6 comes in positive and constant which represents that the force is negative that means the force is attractive in nature

Calculate the radius of the orbit of a proton moving at 2.2x10^6 m/s in a magnetic field 0.7 T where v and B are perpendicular.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

3.28 cm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to know that a magnetic field B perpendicular to the movement of a proton that moves at a velocity v will cause a Force F experimented by the particle that is orthogonal to both the velocity and the magnetic Field. When a particle experiments a Force orthogonal to its velocity, the path it will follow will be circular. The radius of said circle can be calculated using the expression:

r = \frac{mv}{qB}

Where m is the mass of the particle, v is its velocity, q is its charge and B is the magnitude of the magnetic field.

The mass and  charge of a proton are:

m = 1.67 * 10^-27 kg

q = 1.6 * 10^-19 C

So, we get that the radius r will be:

r =  \frac{1.67 * 10^-27 kg * 2.2*10^6 m/s}{1.6 * 10^-19 C* 0.7 T} = 0.0328 m, or 3.28  cm.
