Answer:

The correct answer is option (C) Alpha radiation

Explanation:

The types of radiation which are alpha, beta and gamma radiation have different penetration power.

Penetration power is the ability of each of the types of radiation to pass through matter. The more they penetrate, the more dangerous they will be.

Alpha has the least penetration power because it has large mass size

Gamma has the highest penetration power because it has no mass size

Beta has the medium penetration power because it has a small mass size

Therefore, the penetration power is affected by the size of mass they carry.

Which of the following statements is TRUE about updating the exposure control plan?

iren2701 [21]

Statements that are true as regards exposure control plan and its updating are;

Updates must have the reflection of changes in tasks as well in procedures.

Updates must reflect changes in positions that affect occupational exposure.

Updates must have the cost of PPE that is needed and necessary to reduce exposure

An exposure control plan can be regarded as the framework for compliance between the employer and the workers.

This framework give room for the employer to creates a written plan that will help in protecting their workers from bloodborne pathogens.

This plan gives hope to workers in term of protection when working with their Employer.

There are some elements that is associated with Exposure Control Plan, and theses are;

Health hazards as well as risk that is attributed to each product in the worksite.
Statement of purpose.
procedures and practices in a written form
Responsibilities from the Manager, CEO, designated resources and employer.

Therefore, exposure control plan is avenue to protect workers from bloodborne pathogens.

Answer:

Workdone = 1960 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 5kg

Force = 49N

Height (distance) = 40m

To find the workdone;

Workdone = force * distance

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Workdone = 49*40

Workdone = 1960 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of work done on the bowling ball to lift it is 1960 Joules.

a 10 kilogram steel ball is dropped from the top of a tower 100 meters high the kinetic energy of the ball just before it sttike

EleoNora [17]

Explanation:

If we assume negligible air resistance and heat loss, we can assume that all of the Gravitational potential energy of the ball will turn into Kinetic energy as it falls toward the ground.

Therefore our Kinetic energy = mgh = (10kg)(9.81N/kg)(100m) = 9,810J.

A stone is thrown horizontally at 60.0 m/sm/s from the top of a very tall cliff. Calculate its horizontal position and vertical

svp [43]

Answer:

X-Positions: Y-Positions

x(0) = 0 y(0) = 0

x(2) = 120 m y(2) = 19.6 m

x(4) = 240 m y(4) = 78.4 m

x(6) = 360 m y(6) = 176.4 m

x(8) = 480 m y(8) = 313 m

x(10) = 600m y (10) = 490 m

Explanation:

X-Positions

First, we choose to take the horizontal direction as our x-axis, and the positive x-axis as positive.
After being thrown, in the horizontal direction, no external influence acts on the stone, so it will continue in the same direction at the same initial speed of 60. 0 m/s
So, in order to know the horizontal position at any time t, we can apply the definition of average velocity, rearranging terms, as follows:

$x = v_{ox} * t = 60.0 m/s * t(s)$

It can be seen that after 2 s, the displacement will be 120 m, and each 2 seconds, as the speed is constant, the displacement will increase in the same 120 m each time.

Y-Positions

We choose to take the vertical direction as our y-axis, taking the downward direction as our positive axis.
As both axes are perpendicular each other, both movements are independent each other also, so, in the vertical direction, the stone starts from rest.
At any moment, it is subject to the acceleration of gravity, g.
As the acceleration is constant, we can find the vertical displacement (taking the height of the cliff as the initial reference level), using the following kinematic equation:

$y = \frac{1}{2} * g* t^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 m/s2 * t(s)^{2}$

Replacing by the values of t, we get the following vertical positions, from the height of the cliff as y = 0:
y(2) = 2* 9.8 m/s2 = 19.6 m
y(4) = 8* 9.8 m/s2 = 78.4 m
y(6) = 18*9.8 m/s2 = 176.4 m
y(8) = 32*9.8 m/s2 = 313.6 m
y(10)= 50 * 9.8 m/s2 = 490.0 m
