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!

An electric field of intensity 3.80 kN/C is applied along the x-axis. Calculate the electric flux through a rectangular plane 0.

lakkis [162]

Answer: 1.55 x 10⁴ Nm²c^-1

Explanation: The electric flux, electric field intensity and area are related by the formulae below.

Φ= EAcosθ,

Where Φ= electric flux (Nm²c^-1)

E =electric field intensity (N/m²)

A = Area (m²)

θ= this is angle between the planar area and the magnetic flux

For our question E=3.80KN/c= 3800 N/c

A= 0.700 x 0.350= 0.245m²

θ= 0° ( this is because the electric field was applied along the x axis, thus the electric flux will be parallel to the area).

Hence Φ= 3800 x 0.245 x cos(0)

= 3800 x 0.245 x 1 (value of cos 0° =1)

= 1.55 x 10⁴ Nm²c^-1

Thus the electric field is 1.55 x 10⁴ Nm²c^-1

A rocket starting from its launch pad is subjected to a uniform acceleration of 100 meters/second2. Determine the time needed to

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

10s

Explanation:

Acceleration is a measure of a rate of change of velocity, or in other words, a measure of how quickly the velocity is changing.

If acceleration is constant, then the velocity is changing by a constant amount.

With an acceleration of 100 m/s^2, starting from the launching pad (and thus, an initial velocity of zero), we can calculate how long it will take to reach a final velocity of 1000m/s with the following formula:

$v=at+v_o$ where "v" is the final velocity at some later time "t", "a" is the constant acceleration, and "v" sub-zero is the initial velocity.

$v=at+v_o$

$(1000\text{ [m/s]})=(100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2] )t+(0\text{ [m/s]})$

$1000\text{ [m/s]}=100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2] *t$

$\dfrac{1000\text{ [m/s]}}{100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2]}=\dfrac{100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2] *t}{100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2]}$

$10\text{ [s]}=t$

So, it will take 10 seconds for the rocket to reach 1000m/s when starting from the launching pad, with a constant velocity of 100m/s^2.

<u>Verification:</u>

In this situation, it is quick to verify that 10 seconds is correct by looking at what the velocities will be each second.

Recognizing that the acceleration is $a=\dfrac{100 [\frac{m}{s}]}{1[s]}$ , the velocity increases by 100 units [m/s] every second.

At time 0[s], the velocity is 0[m/s]

At time 1[s], the velocity is 100[m/s]

At time 2[s], the velocity is 200[m/s]

At time 3[s], the velocity is 300[m/s]

At time 4[s], the velocity is 400[m/s]

At time 5[s], the velocity is 500[m/s]

At time 6[s], the velocity is 600[m/s]

At time 7[s], the velocity is 700[m/s]

At time 8[s], the velocity is 800[m/s]

At time 9[s], the velocity is 900[m/s]

At time 10[s], the velocity is 1000[m/s]

So, indeed, after 10 seconds, the velocity reaches 1000 m/s

Answer:

$\frac{3}{8} inches$

Explanation:

the variations in riser height or tread depth should not be grater than $\frac{3}{8} inches$ that is equal to 9.5 mm but the maximum riser height should be the $\frac{81}{4} inch$ but variation in riser height should not exceed to $\frac{3}{8} inches$ . The minimum riser height should be 7 inches which is equal to the 178 mm

Polly is pushing a box across the floor with a force of 30 N. The force of gravity is -8 N, and the normal force is 8 N. Which

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Force of friction is (-30 N).

Explanation:

The force applied on the box across the floor is 30 N.

The force of gravity is (-8 N) and the the normal force is 8 N.

It is based on Newton's third law of motion. Newton's third law of motion states that the force acting on object 1 to object 2 is equal in magnitude of the force from object 2 to 1 but in opposite direction.

Here there is force of 30 N is applied in horizontal direction. The frictional force act in opposite direction. So, the force of friction is -30 N so that box across the floor.
