Answer:

The correct answer is 0,2 rems

Explanation:

People are exposed to natural sources of radiation all the time. According to recent estimates, the average person in the United States receives an effective dose of approximately 3 mSv per year of natural radiation, which is equivalent to 0.3 rems. This amount includes cosmic radiation from outer space and is average because it varies depending on the region people are in.

The amount of radiation for a chest x-ray of an adult (0.01 rems) is approximately equal to 10 days of natural radiation to which we are all exposed every day.

Have a nice day!

Answer:

$r=1.14m$

Explanation:

$\theta$ is the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field. So, the magnetic force on the proton is:

$F_m=qvBsen\theta\\F_m=qvBsen(90^\circ)\\F_m=qvB$

A charged particle describes a semicircle in a uniform magnetic field. Therefore, applying Newton's second law to uniform circular motion:

$F_m=F_c\\qvB=F_c(1)$

$F_c$ is the centripetal force and is defined as:

$F_c=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

Here $v$ is the proton's speed and $r$ is the radius of the circular motion. Replacing this in (1) and solving for r:

$qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\r=\frac{mv^2}{qvB}\\r=\frac{mv}{qB}$

Recall that 1 J is equal to $6.242*10^{12}MeV$ , so:

$4.9MeV*\frac{1J}{6.242*10^{12}MeV}=7.85*10^{-13}J$

We can calculate $v$ from the kinetic energy of the proton:

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(7.85*10^{-13}J)}{1.67*10^{-27}kg}}\\v=3.06*10^{7}\frac{m}{s}$

Finally, we calculate the radius of the proton path:

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}\\r=\frac{1.67*10^{-27}kg(3.06*10^{7}\frac{m}{s})}{1.6*10^{-19}C(0.28T)}\\r=1.14m$

aleksley [76]

F should be 10. If The Whole top is 50cm, then we should subtract 10n and 30n which gives us 10.

Or it could be 15 if both top and bottom are 25. 10+15= 25.

agasfer [191]

Hello!

These atoms are isotopes

Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons (which determine the atomic number) and a different number of neutrons. These two atoms have the same number of protons (13), but a different number of neutrons, so they are isotopes.

According to their number of protons, these are Aluminum isotopes: ²⁷Al (stable), and ²⁶Al (radioactive), respectively.
