Answer:E

Explanation:

It is given that Energy of gamma ray is E=1.2 Mev

Shielding effect can be measured by measuring the fraction of gamma rays blocked by shield. If certain thickness will able to block half the radiation then to block 75% radiation we need to add same amount of thickness in order to block the remaining radiation.

i.e. \frac{E}{2} fraction is blocked by 10 cm thickness

then remaining radiation is \frac{E}{2}

another 10 cm thickness will block the remaining half radiation i.e. \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{E}{2}=\frac{E}{4}

so total 75 % radiation will be blocked

Hannah walks 0.30 km to class in 5.0 min. what is her average speed in m/s?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

1.0 m/s

Explanation:

First, convert to SI units.

0.30 km × (1000 m / km) = 300 m

5.0 min × (60 s / min) = 300 s

Speed is distance divided by time:

300 m / 300 s = 1.0 m/s
