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

How does a television have a negative effect on the environment
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Too much screen time can be a bad thing: Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight. Kids who view violent acts on TV are more likely to show aggressive behavior, and to fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. When we considered the whole television chain of production, distribution and consumption, we found that the largest environmental impact associated with a television programme was not the energy consumed in making it, but the energy used by the millions of televisions, set-top boxes and other consumer devices involved

Calculate the magnitude of the total impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Total impulse = mv = Initial momentum of the car

Explanation:

Let the mass of the car be 'm' kg moving with a velocity 'v' m/s.

The final velocity of the car is 0 m/s as it is brought to rest.

Impulse is equal to the product of constant force applied to an object for a very small interval. Impulse is also calculated as the total change in the linear momentum of an object during the given time interval.

The magnitude of impulse is the absolute value of the change in momentum.

|J|=|p_f-p_i|

Momentum of an object is equal to the product of its mass and velocity.

So, the initial momentum of the car is given as:

p_i=mv

The final momentum of the car is given as:

p_f=m(0)=0

Therefore, the impulse is given as:

|J|=|p_f-p_i|=|0-mv|=|-mv|=mv

Hence, the magnitude of the impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest is equal to the initial momentum of the car.

Momentum for a system can be conserved in one direction while not being conserved in another. What is the anglebetween the direc
katrin [286]

Answer:

90°

Explanation:

The angle will be 90° when momentum for a system can be conserved in one direction while not being conserved in another.

The example can be

If we apply force on an object horizontally in west direction, then as in other direction south or north we cannot apply the principal of momentum conservation.

Suppose the student in (Figure 1) is 68kg, and the board being stood on has a 12kg mass. What is the reading on the left scale?
lesantik [10]

The equilibrium conditions allow to find the results for the balance forces are:

  • F₁ = 225.4 N
  • F₂ = 558.6 N

When the acceleration is zero we have the equilibrium conditions for both linear and rotational motion.

            ∑ F = 0

            ∑ τ = 0

           

Where F are the forces and τ the torques.

The torque  is the product of the force and the perpendicular distance to the point of support,

The free-body diagrams are diagrams of the forces without the details of the bodies, see attached for the free-body diagram of the system.

We write the translational equilibrium condition.

           F₁ - W₁ - W₂ + F₂ = 0

We write the equation for the rotational motion, set our point of origin at scale 1, and the counterclockwise turns are positive.

         F₂ 2 - W₁ 1 - W₂ 1.5 = 0\frac{W_1  \ 1 + W_2 \ 1.5}{2}

Let's calculate F₂

         F₂ = \frac{W_1 \ 1 + W_2 \ 1.5 }{2}  

         F₂ = (m g + M g 1.5)/ 2

         F₂ = \frac{(12 + 68 \ 1.5 ) \  9.8}{2}  

         F₂ = 558.6 N

We substitute in the translational equilibrium equation.

         F₁ = W₁ + W₂ - F₂

         F₁ = (m + M) g - F₂

         F₁ = (12 +68) 9.8 - 558.6

         F₁ = 225.4 N

In conclusion using the equilibrium conditions we can find the forces of the balance are:

  • F₁ = 225.4 N
  • F2 = 558.6 N
