Answer:

(A) Their high energy

Explanation:

The higher the energy of the x-ray the more "likely" they will pass through.

The x-ray is electromagnetic energy caused by energy changes in an electron.

X-ray are energetic and have enough energy to break up molecules. That is what reveals the bad or damaged cells in our body.

You are designing a generator with a maximum emf 8.0 V. If the generator coil has 200 turns and a cross-sectional area of 0.030

shutvik [7]

Answer:

7.1 Hz

Explanation:

In a generator, the maximum induced emf is given by

$\epsilon= 2\pi NAB f$

where

N is the number of turns in the coil

A is the area of the coil

B is the magnetic field strength

f is the frequency

In this problem, we have

N = 200

$A=0.030 m^2$

$\epsilon=8.0 V$

B = 0.030 T

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the frequency of the generator:

$f=\frac{\epsilon}{2\pi NAB}=\frac{8.0 V}{2\pi (200)(0.030 m^2)(0.030 T)}=7.1 Hz$

A small branch is wedged under a 200 kg rock and rests on a smaller object. The smaller object is 2.0 m from the large rock and

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

$F =326.7 \ N$

$M = 6$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the rock is $m_r = 200 \ kg$

The length of the small object from the rock is $d = 2 \ m$

The length of the small object from the branch $l = 12 \ m$

An image representing this lever set-up is shown on the first uploaded image

Here the small object acts as a fulcrum

The force exerted by the weight of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

$W = m_r * g$

substituting values

$W = 200 * 9.8$

$W = 1960 \ N$

So at equilibrium the sum of the moment about the fulcrum is mathematically represented as

$\sum M_f = F * cos \theta * l - W cos\theta * d = 0$

Here $\theta$ is very small so $cos\theta * l = l$

and $cos\theta * d = d$

Hence

$F * l - W * d = 0$

=> $F = \frac{W * d}{l}$

substituting values

$F = \frac{1960 * 2}{12}$

$F =326.7 \ N$

The mechanical advantage is mathematically evaluated as

$M = \frac{W}{F}$

substituting values

$M = \frac{1960}{326.7}$

$M = 6$

A solar cooker, really a concave mirror pointed at the Sun, focuses the Sun's rays 13.8 cm in front of the mirror. Part A What i

shepuryov [24]

From the concept of optics on a curvature of a spherical mirror, the proportion for which the focal length is equivalent to half the radius of curvature is fulfilled. Mathematically this is

$f = \frac{R}{2}$

Here,

f = Focal Length

R = Radius

Rearranging to find the radius we have,

$R = 2f$

Replacing with our values,

R = 2(13.8cm)

R = 27.6cm

Therefore the radius of the spherical surface from which the mirror was made is 27.6cm

An electromagnet produces a magnetic eld of 0.95 T in a cylindrical region of radius 3.0 cm between its poles. A straight wire c

Daniel [21]

Answer:

0.855 N

Explanation:

Using

F = BILsinФ.................... Equation 1

Where F = magnitude of the force exerted on the wire, B = magnetic Field, I = current, L = Length of the wire in the magnetic Field, Ф = angle between the wire and the magnetic field.

Given: B = 0.95 T, I = 15.0 A, L = 2r, r = radius = 3.0 cm = 0.03 m L = 2×0.03 = 0.06 m, Ф = 90° (perpendicular)

Substitute into equation 1

F = 0.95(15)(0.06)sin90°

F = 0.855 N.

Hence the magnitude of force that is exerted on the wire = 0.855 N
