Rom4ik [11]2 years ago

Answer:

Most adverse health effects of radiation exposure may be grouped in two general categories:

deterministic effects (harmful tissue reactions) due in large part to the killing/ malfunction of cells following high doses; and

stochastic effects, i.e., cancer and heritable effects involving either cancer development in exposed individuals owing to mutation of somatic cells or heritable disease in their offspring owing to mutation of reproductive (germ)

A distance of 0.002 m separates two objects of equal mass. If the gravitational force between them is
Alika [10]

Answer: 24.97 kg

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects of masses M1, and M2 respectively, and separated by a distance R, is:

F = G*(M1*M2)/R^2

Where G is the gravitational constant:

G = 6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s^2)

In this case, we know that

R = 0.002m

F = 0.0104 N

and that M1 = M2 = M

And we want to find the value of M, then we can replace those values in the equation to get

0.0104 N = (6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s^2))*(M*M)/(0.002m)^2

(0.0104 N)*(0.002m)^2/(6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s^2)) = M^2

623.69 kg^2 = M^2

√(623.69 kg^2) = M = 24.97 kg

This means that the mass of each object is 24.97 kg

Because the pressure falls, water boils at a lower temperature with increasing altitude. Consequently, cake mixes and boiled egg
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

1) The boiling point of water reduces by 3.28°C at 1,000 m above sea-level

2) The boiling point of water reduces by 6.56°C at 2,000 m above sea-level

Explanation:

The variation of the boiling point of water with elevation is given as follows

The boiling point reduces by 0.5°C for every 152.4 meter increase in elevation

At sea-level, the boiling point temperature of water = 100°C

1) At 1,000 m elevation, the boiling point temperature, T = 100 - (1,000/152.4) × 0.5 ≈ 96.72 °C

Therefore, the boiling point of water reduces by 100° - 96.72° = 3.28°C at 1,000 m above sea-level

2) At 2,000 m elevation, the boiling point temperature, T = 100 - (2,000/152.4) × 0.5 ≈ 93.44°C

The boiling point of water reduces by 100° - 93.44° = 6.56°C at 2,000 m above sea-level
