A 50 kg laboratory worker is exposed to 30 mJ of neutron radiation with an RBE of 10. Part A What is the dose in mSv

Physics
1 answer:
lys-0071 [83]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The dose is 6 mSV

Explanation:

The absorbed dose (in gray - Gy) is the amount of energy that ionizing radiation deposits per unit mass of tissue. That is,

Absorbed dose = Energy deposited / Mass

while Dose equivalent (DE) (in Seivert -Sv) is given by

DE = Absorbed dose × RBE (Relative biological effectiveness)

First, we will determine the Absorbed dose

From the question, Energy deposited = 30mJ and Mass = 50kg

From,

Absorbed dose = Energy deposited / Mass

Absorbed dose = 30mJ/50kg

Absorbed dose = 0.6 mGy

Now, for the Dose equivalent (DE)

DE = Absorbed dose × RBE

From the question, RBE = 10

Hence,

DE = 0.6mGy × 10

DE = 6 mSv

A golf ball is released from rest from the top of a very tall building. Choose a coordinate system whose origin is at the starti
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Velocity of the ball after 3.04 (s) = 29.79 (m/s)

Explanation:

From the free fall movement we have the following formulas: Vf^{2} = Vo^{2} - 2gh and h=Vo*t - \frac{g*t^{2} }{2}, First we need to find the height to time iqual to 3.04 s using the formula: h=Vo*t - \frac{g*t^{2} }{2} and remember that golf ball was released from the rest (Vo= 0 (m/s)) so h= (0 (m/s))*(3.04 (s)) - \frac{9.8 (m/s^2)*(3.04 (s))^{2} }{2}, we get: h = -45.28 (m) with the height that we have got, now the velocity of the ball is calculate using Vf^{2} = Vo^{2} - 2gh solving for Vf, we get: Vf = \sqrt{Vo^{2}-2*g*h } replacing the values given Vf = \sqrt{(0 m/s)^{2}-2*(9.8 m/s^2)*(-45.28 m) }, so we get: Vf = 29.79 (m/s).

The experimentation step of scientific inquiry involves _______.
Hoochie [10]
<span>The answer is letter D.

The most important step in formulation a scientific inquiry is to first formulate a question. All answers sprung from a question that scratched the mind. Experimentation is not possible without the need to question, with this, the drive to find the answers is what motivates scientists or people involved in an experiment to find the answers that would suffice their curiosity. Questions are the basis of all the other choices above and is the most crucial step in the scientific inquiry.<span>
