as the amount of radiation received is proportional to 1/d^2

2m from source


for 1m readings are 50 count per minute


for 2m =   50 / (2)^2

                   50 / 4   =  12.5 count per minute

Answer:

12.5counts/min

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the radiation from a point source follows an inverse-square law wherein the quantity of radiation is proportional to 1/d², where d is distance. Therefore, 2 m away from the source, the counts will be:

Counts/min=\frac{50counts/min}{2^2} =12.5counts/min

Best regards.

Describe how glacial erosion influenced the topography of Ohio.
Marianna [84]

During the past two million years, glaciers have shaped and reshaped the surface of Ohio several times. These continental masses of ice affected as much as two-thirds of the state. Moving from the north and northwest, glaciers have scraped and flattened the landscape. Often more than a mile thick, they smoothed existing hills and filled valleys with enormous amounts of rocks, gravel, and smaller particles.  Through these actions, glaciers have had a very important impact on the agriculture of Ohio. Their activity has been felt in two noticeable ways: shaping the ground upon which people work and build, and forming the soils that cover that ground.

Examples include the cranial (skull) bones, the scapulae (shoulder blades), the sternum (breastbone), and the ribs. Flat bones serve as points of attachment for muscles and often protect internal organs.
