radioactive sources for use in school experiments are always stored in a container lined with which material give the full name

not the symbol​
Physics
1 answer:
Ilya [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Lead (pb)

Explanation:

There are 3 types of radiation:

1) Alpha radiation: has a strong ionization energy and easily absorbed by light material like paper

2) Beta particles: moderate ionization, and can be absorbed by thin aluminum foil.

3) Gamma rays: weak ionization energy but extremely dangerous as it can go through several thickness of lead wall.

Most radioactive materials radiate all three radiation so, in order to be on the safe side, the walls of the container for storing radioactive materials are usually lined with thick lead wall.

A charge of 2.00 μC flows onto the plates of a capacitor when it is connected to a 12.0-V potential source. What is the minimum
uysha [10]

To develop this problem we will apply the concept of energy conservation. For which the work carried out must be equivalent to the potential energy stored on the capacitor. We will start by finding the capacitance to later be able to calculate the energy and therefore the work in the capacitor

C = \frac{Q}{V}

Here,

C = Capacitance

V = Potential difference between the plates

Q = Charge between the capacitor plates

At the same time the energy stored in the capacitor can be defined as,

U = \frac{1}{2} CV^2

We will start by finding the value of the capacitance, so we will have to,

C = \frac{2\mu C}{12.0V}

C = 0.166\mu F

Finally using the expression for the energy we have that,

U = \frac{1}{2} CV^2

U = \frac{1}{2} (0.166\muF)(12.0V)^2

U = 11.0*10^{-6} J

Therefore the minimum amount of work that must be done in charging this capacitor is 11.0*10^{-6} J

a steam engine work on its vicinity 285 k heat is released with the help of 225 c energy absorbed to the system what is the effi
zvonat [6]

The efficiency of steam engine is  26.66 %.

<h3>What is Efficiency?</h3>

The efficiency is defined as the work done by the engine divided by the heat supplied.

Work done is the difference between the heat supplied and heat rejected.

So, efficiency η = (Qs -Qr) / Qs

Given is the heat supplied Qs = 225 Joules and heat rejected Qr =285 . then the work done is

W = 225 -225 = - 60 Joules

Efficiency η  = 60/225 x 100%

η = 26.66 %

Thus, the efficiency of the steam engine is  26.66 %.

A ___________ spreads from one machine to another rapidly without human action
romanna [79]

Answer: Worm

A virus spreads from one machine to another rapidly without human action. A virus is like a code that runes automatically without any knowledge or without taking permission of the user. It hampers the way a machine works. When a machine is attached to another machine directly or indirectly containing virus, it spreads itself. A worm is a kind of virus  that can spread with zero human intervention. A virus still requires a human to download a contaminated file but worm does not. a worm can spread on its own

Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight–this also gives them an average density significantly less than that
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

39.4 g

39.4 cm³

1.09137 g/cm³

Explanation:

\rho = Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Mass of water displaced will be the difference of the

m=43-3.6\\\Rightarrow m=39.4\ g

Mass of water displaced is 39.4 g

Density is given by

\rho=\dfrac{m}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{39.4}{1}\\\Rightarrow v=39.4\ cm^3

So, volume of bone is 39.4 cm³

Average density of the bird is given by

\rho=\dfrac{43}{39.4}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.09137\ g/cm^3

The average density is 1.09137 g/cm³

Jin walked 4 km on a straight path to get to the sandwich shop. He traveled 30° south of east. What is the southern component of
mylen [45]
Here, we can use the resolution of vectors to find the component in the y-axis of the distance traveled by Jin. The southern component is given by:
s = dsin(∅), where s is the southern component, d is the distance traveled and ∅ is the angle below east at which it was traveled.
s = 4sin(30)
s = 2 km
