Yes. With converging plates, where two plates are touching towards each other instigating one to sub duct beneath the other, you incline to have volcanoes and earthquakes. Instance: In Asia, the Pacific Plate touching to and beneath the Eurasian Plate. Another example of where you would have earthquakes is where two plates are slipping in contrary directions parallel to one another. This is an instance of the Pacific Plate touching next to the North American Plate. This makes faults or crashes in the plates instigating earthquakes. As the plate slip past each other, subsequently separately plate boundary isn't flawlessly smooth, they catch on one another and accumulate pressure. When the pressure is free, the energy is gave out as an earthquake.

Two different sources of radiation give the same dose equivalent in Sv. Does this mean that the radiation from each source has t

Alisiya [41]

The product of the dosage Gy and relative biological efficiency yields a radiation dose equivalent Sv (RBE).

Sv =dose in Gy * RBE Sv=dose in GyRBE

The quantity of ionising energy absorbed by 1 text kg1 kg of tissue is defined as a radiation dose Gy. While RBE is a measure of a specific dose's biological effect relative to the biological effect of an equal quantity of X rays.

<h3>What is radiation?</h3>

Radiation is energy that moves through space at the speed of light from a source. This energy is coupled with an electric and magnetic field, and it exhibits wave-like qualities. Radiation is sometimes known as "electromagnetic waves."

Nature has a diverse variety of electromagnetic radiation. One example is visible light.

X-rays and gamma rays are extremely energetic. They may take electrons from atoms when they engage with them, causing the atom to become ionised.

Three point charges are arranged along the x-axis. Charge q1 = +3.00 uC is at the origin, and charge q2= -5.00 uC is at x= 0.200

artcher [175]

We have all the charges for q1, q2, and q3.
Since k = 8.988x10^2, and N=m^2/c^2

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)

F(2on1) = k |q1 q2| / r(the distance between the two)^2
k^ | 3x10^-6 x -5 x 10^-6 | / (.2m)^2
F(2on1) = 3.37 N

Since F1 is 7N,

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)
7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)

Since it wil be going in the negative direction,
-7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)
F(3on1) = -10.37N

F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| / r(the distance between the two)^2
r^2 x F(3on1) = k |q1 q3|
r = sqrt of k |q1 q3| / F(3on1)
= .144 m (distance between q1 and q3)
0 - .144m

So it's located in -.144m
