Electrons are important to the electric current because they are able to move from one atom to another. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged.

Luda [366]

Answer:

The time travel is

t=8 s

Explanation:

$a= 2 \frac{m}{s^{2} } \\v=-6 \frac{m}{s} \\x=16m$

$x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}$

$x_{f}=0-6*t+\frac{1}{2} *2*t^{2}$

$t^{2}-6*t-16=0\\ using :\\\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*c*a } }{2} \\\frac{-(-6)+/-\sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4*(-16)*(1) } }{2}=\frac{3}{2} +/- \frac{10}{2} \\t_{1} = 2s \\t_{2} = 8s$

Check

$t_{2}=8s$

$x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}$

$x_{f}=0-6*+\frac{1}{2} *2*8^{2}$

$x_{f}=-48+64\\x_{f}=16$

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

a) 0.0288 grams

b) $2.6*10^{-10} J/kg$

Explanation:

Given that:

A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass

The abundance for the three isotopes are:

Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41 with abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728% respectively.

Thus; a person with a mass of 80 kg will posses = 80 × 3 = 240 grams of potassium.

However, the amount of potassium that is present in such person is :

0.012% × 240 grams

= 0.012/100 × 240 grams

= 0.0288 grams

the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body is calculate as follows:

First the Dose in (Gy) = $\frac{energy \ absorbed }{mass \ of \ the \ body}$

= $\frac{1.10*10^6*1.6*10^{-14}}{80}$

= $2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg$

Effective dose (Sv) = RBE × Dose in Gy

Effective dose (Sv) = $1.2 *2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg$

Effective dose (Sv) = $2.6*10^{-10} J/kg$

A resistor R1 is wired to a battery, then resistor R2 is added in series. Are (a) the potential difference across R1 and (b) the

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Earlier emf of cell applied on R₁ but now emf will be distributed among R₁ and R₂

Potential difference on R₁ will become less .

b ) Current is inversely proportional to resistance of the circuit. As resistance increases , current will be less . So current through R₁ will become less.

c )

When resistance is added in series , they are added up to obtain equivalent resistance . So equivalent resistance R₁₂ will be more than R₁ OR R₂.
