Answer:

The dose absorbed by the person's body is 52600 mrem.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radiation = 52.6 rad

We need to calculate the absorbed dose

We know that,

The equivalent dose is equal to the absorbed radiation for beta source.

So, The patient is exposed 52.6 rad of radiation.

Therefore, The absorbed radiation is equal to the exposed 52.6 rad of radiation.

1 rad = \dfrac{1\ rem}{1000\ mrem}

So, radiation absorbed = 52.6 rad

radiation\ absorbed =52.6\times1000\ mrem

radiation\ absorbed = 52600\ mrem

Hence, The dose absorbed by the person's body is 52600 mrem.

stiv31 [10]

It is very difficult for an atom to accept a proton. It can only be done under very special circumstances. So A and C are both incorrect. I don't see how D is possible. The atom does lose 1 electron, but how it gets 21 is think air.

The answer is B which is exactly what happens.

8. How is the crystal size different for extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks?
eduard
<span>Igneous rocks which form by the crystallization of magma at a depth within the Earth are called intrusive rocks. Intrusive rocks are characterized by large crystal sizes, i.e., their visual appearance shows individual crystals interlocked together to form the rock mass.  hope that helped</span>

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

sweeps out equal areas in equal times.

Explanation:

As we know that there is no torque due to Sun on the planets revolving about the sun

so we will have

\tau_{net} = 0

now we have

\frac{dL}{dt}= 0

now we also know that

Area = \frac{1}{2}r^2d\theta

so rate of change in area is given as

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}r^2\frac{d\theta}{dt}

so we will have

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}r^2\omega

\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{L}{2m}

since angular momentum and mass is constant here so

all planets sweeps out equal areas in equal times.

Andreyy89

Answer:

<em>Billow clouds provide a visible signal to aviation interests of potentially dangerous turbulent sky since they indicate instability in air currents.</em>

Explanation:

Billow clouds are created in regions that are not stable in a meteorological sense. They are frequently present in places with air flows, and have marked vertical shear and weak thermal separation and inversion (colder air stays on top of warmer air). Billow clouds are formed when two air currents of varying speeds meet in the atmosphere. They create a stunning sight that looks like rolling ocean waves. Billow clouds have a very short life span of minutes but they provide a visible signal to aviation interests of potentially dangerous turbulent sky since they indicate instability in air currents, which although may not affect us on the ground but is a concern to aircraft pilots. The turbulence due to the Billow wave is the only logical explanation for the loss of 500 m in altitude of the plane.
