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.

A rocket sled accelerates from 10 m/s to 40 m/s in 2 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the sled?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

15m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 10m/s

Final velocity  = 40m/s

Time taken  = 2s

Unknown:

Average acceleration  = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time;

 Acceleration  = \frac{Final velocity   -  Initial velocity }{time}  

  Acceleration = \frac{40 - 10}{2}    = 15m/s²
