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.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Ultraviolet

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into a number of parts. One of which is the ultraviolet region. The ultraviolet region is found between the 100 nm - 400 nm band of the electromagnetic spectrum. From the range we just stated now, we can see for certainty that the given range 210 nm - 230 nm lies inside of the 100 nm c 400 nm of the electromagnetic spectrum, that of which is the ultraviolet region.

A four-wheel-drive vehicle is transporting an injured hiker to the hospital from a point that is 30 km from the nearest point on
zepelin [54]

Answer:

D=200\ km

Explanation:

distance on terrain, d_t=30\ km

  • distance on the road, d_r=70\ km
  • speed on terrain, v_t=30\ km.hr^{-1}
  • speed  on road, v_r=130\ km.hr^{-1}

<u>time taken on the terrain,</u>

t_t=\frac{d_t}{v_t}

t_t=\frac{30}{30}

t_t=1\ hr

<u>time taken to cover the distance on the road:</u>

t_r=\frac{d_r}{v_r}

t_r=\frac{70}{130}

t_r=\frac{7}{13}\ hr

<u>Now the distance covered on terrain in the total time:</u>

D= v_r\times (t_r+t_t)

D= 130\times (\frac{7}{13}+1)

D=130\times \frac{20}{13}\

D=200\ km

<em>is the distance the vehicle must target on the road to minimize the time taken in going off the road.</em>

If a car travels around a gentle curve on a highway at 60 km/h, does the velocity change
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Yes the velocity changes. Because velocity changes with direction. The object is moving around a gentle curve. The curve is not linear it is curve the direction changes a bit so obviously the velocity also changes but not much. Juts a minor change. Depends on how much curve the highway is.

If you add a small amount of hydrochloric acid to 4 liters of water, you would create a _____ solution.
Harman [31]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

An example of a weak base is ammonia. It does not contain hydroxide ions, but it reacts with water to produce ammonium ions and hydroxide ions. The position of equilibrium varies from base to base when a weak base reacts with water. The further to the left it is, the weaker the base.
