Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human body. Potassium occurs naturally in our environment and th

us our bodies) as three isotopes: Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41. Their current abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%. A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass. 1. How much Potassium-40 is present in a person with a mass of 80 kg? 2. If, on average, the decay of Potassium-40 results in 1.10 MeV of energy absorbed, determine the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body. Assume an RBE of 1.2. The half-life of Potassium-40 is 1.28 x 10°years.

Determine the index of refraction of glass that is struck by unpolarized light at 53.8 degrees and resulting in a fully polarize
nignag [31]

Answer:

The refractive index of glass, \mu_{g} = 1.367

Solution:

Brewster angle is the special case of incident angle that causes the reflected and refracted rays to be perpendicular to each other or that angle of incident which causes the complete polarization of the reflected ray.

To determine the refractive index of glass:

tan\theta_{P} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{\mu_{a}}                 (1)

where

\mu_{a} = refractive index of glass

\mu_{g} = refractive index of glass

Now, using eqn (1)

tan{53.8^{\circ}} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{1}

\mu_{g} = tan53.8^{\circ}

\mu_{g} = 1.367

An automobile steering wheel is shown. What is the ideal mechanical advantage? If the AMA is 8, what is the efficiency of the st
Mars2501 [29]

1. Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA): 9

Explanation:

For a wheel and axle system like the steering wheel, the IMA is given by:

IMA=\frac{r_w}{r_a}

where

r_w is the radius of the wheel

r_a is the radius of the axle

For the steering wheel of the problem, we see that r_w = 18 cm and r_a=2 cm, so the IMA is

IMA=\frac{18 cm}{2 cm}=9


2. Efficiency: 88.9%

Explanation:

The efficiency of a system is defined as the ratio between the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) and the IMA:

\eta=\frac{AMA}{IMA}\cdot 100

In this problem, AMA=8 and IMA=9, so the efficiency is

\eta=\frac{8}{9}\cdot 100=88.9\%

1. Si comprimes un globo hasta reducir su volumen a un tercio de su valor original, ¿cuánto aumenta la presión en su interior?
harina [27]

Answer:

See step by step sexplanation

Explanation:

1.-Sabemos que la relación:

P₁ * V₁  = P₂ * V₂

Para una temperatura constante debe mantenerse entonces si el globo se comprime hasta llevarlo a 1/3 de su valor inicial, entonces necesariamente para cumplir con la relación mencionada, la presión aumenta tres veces su valor original

2.-La definición de presión es fuerza por unidad de superficie, entonces la fuerza es determinada por la altura de la columna de liquido en el recipiente y no por la cantidad total de liquido, de acuerdo a esto habrá más presión en la base del florero, ya que la columna de agua tiene más altura.

3.-No se puede estar de acuerdo con el criterio del plomero. En su solución no plantea el aumento de la altura del tanque,  para el logro del aumento de la presión que es realmente lo que hay que hacer

Plz help me
Reil [10]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

When an object has more mass it takes more gravity to keep it down therefore producing friction which in return reduces the amount of kinetic energy created. A change in an object's speed has an greater effect on its kinetic energy. than a change in its mass has, because kinetic energy is proportional to.
