Each year, an average person in the United States is exposed to a radiation level of _____.

Physics
1 answer:
Anna11 [10]2 years ago
3 0

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!

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the melting of ice, and expla
BlackZzzverrR [31]
  <span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation: 
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>

Two identical 0.400 kg masses are pressed against opposite ends of a light spring of force constant 1.75 N/cm, compressing the s
nlexa [21]

Answer:

0.853 m/s

Explanation:

Total energy stored in the spring = Total kinetic energy of the masses.

1/2ke² = 1/2m'v².................... Equation 1

Where k = spring constant of the spring, e = extension, m' = total mass, v = speed of the masses.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = e[√(k/m')].................... Equation 2

Given: e = 39 cm = 0.39 m, m' = 0.4+0.4 = 0.8 kg, k = 1.75 N/cm = 175 N/m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 0.39[√(1.75/0.8)

v = 0.39[2.1875]

v = 0.853 m/s

Hence the speed of each mass = 0.853 m/s
