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

Physics
1 answer:
Anna11 [10]3 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!

How would radiation occur in space?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Space radiation is made up of three kinds of radiation: particles trapped in the Earth's magnetic field; particles shot into space during solar flares (solar particle events); and galactic cosmic rays, which are high-energy protons and heavy ions from outside our solar system.

If a system has 225 kcal of work done to it, and releases 5.00 × 102 kj of heat into its surroundings, what is the change in int
vovikov84 [41]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system

W is the work done by the system on the surrounding


In this problem, the work done by the system is

W=-225 kcal=-941.4 kJ

with a negative sign because the work is done by the surrounding on the system, while the heat absorbed is

Q=-5 \cdot 10^2 kJ=-500 kJ

with a negative sign as well because it is released by the system.


Therefore, by using the initial equation, we find

\Delta U=Q-W=-500 kJ+941.4 kJ=441.4 kJ

Answer:

<u>0.04 °C⁻¹</u>

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate linear expansivity, then after finding that value, we can move on to finding the area expansivity.

<u />

=============================================================

Finding Linear Expansivity :

⇒ α = Final length - Original length / (Original length × ΔT)

⇒ α = 9 - 4 / (4 × 70 - 20)

⇒ α = 5 / 5 × 50

⇒ α = <u>0.02</u>

============================================================

Finding Area Expansivity :

⇒ Area Expansivity = 2 × Linear Expansivity

⇒ β = 2 × α

⇒ β = 2 × 0.02

⇒ β = <u>0.04 °C⁻¹</u>
