The best thing to do in this case is to redo the experiment and re record the info, it has to be precise and accurate so you also have to check if your procedure is correct. If the results are both accurate and precise then you have to report your findings to the committee of that specific field. <span />

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Few millimeter thick aluminium, water, wood, acrylic glass or plastic.

Explanation:

The materials that are best for protection against beta particles are few millimeter thickness of aluminium, but for the high energy beta-particles radiations the low atomic mass materials such as plastic, wood, water and acrylic glass can be used.

These materials can also be used in personal protective equipment which includes all the clothing that can be worn to prevent any injury or illness due to the exposure to radiation.

An astronaut weighs 8.00 × 102 newtons on the sur- face of Earth. What is the weight of the astronaut 6.37 × 106 meters above th

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$mg=200.4 N$ .

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using Newton's law of universal gravitation: $F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}$ ,

where F is the gravitational force between two masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ , $r$ is the distance between the masses (their center of mass), and $G=6.674*10^{-11}(m^{3}kg^{-1}s^{-2})$ is the gravitational constant.

We know the weight of the astronout on the surface, with this we can find his mass. Letting $w_{s}$ be the weight on the surface:

$w_{s}=mg$ ,

$mg=8*10^{2}$ ,

$m=(8*10^{2})/g$ ,

since we now that $g=9.8m/s^{2}$ we get that the mass is

$m=81.6kg$ .

Now we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ ,

where $m$ is the mass of the astronaut and $M$ is the mass of the earth. From Newton's second law we know that

$F=ma$ ,

in this case the acceleration is the gravity so

$F=mg$ , (<u>becarefull, gravity at this point is no longer</u> $9.8m/s^{2}$ <u>because we are not in the surface anymore</u>)

and this get us to

$mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ , where $mg$ is his new weight.

We need to remember that the mass of the earth is $M=5.972*10^{24}kg$ and its radius is $6.37*10^{6}m$ .

The total distance between the astronaut and the earth is

$r=(6.37*10^{6}+6.37*10^{6})=2(6.37*10^{6})=12.74*10^{6}$ meters.

Now we can compute his weigh:

$mg=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ ,

$mg=(6.674*10^{-11})\frac{(5.972*10^{24})(81.6)}{(12.74*10^{6})^{2}}$ ,

$mg=200.4 N$ .
